Although there are many more housing and home improvement materials to choose from today than there were a few hundred years ago, wood is still the most popular. Although many builders use plastic siding or other synthetic materials, you need only enter a home improvement superstore to know how prolific wood remains as a building material. There are always aisles and aisles of types of wood to choose from, whether you are building a house or a piece of furniture. So what do you do with all that wood? You need to own the best tools and machinery to mold it into the shape of your fancy. Here are some essential pieces that you will need for your woodshop.
Every carpenter or woodworker needs either a circular saw or a table saw. Depending on the size of your usual projects, you can either purchase a handheld saw or a more versatile table saw. A table saw allows the user to make mitre cuts, and other specialized cuts. You can also use a jig with a table saw, which will enable you to drill more precise holes and dowels, as well as cut long boards more accurately. A hand saw is helpful as well for smaller projects, but keep in mind that it cannot make more intricate cuts. It is limited to straight or curved cuts. Saws are especially useful because their blades are interchangeable. Each blade is ideal for different materials, and there are blades suited to cutting materials other than wood.

You also need to supply your workshop with a router. This piece of machinery sits on a table that is ideally adjustable for height. A router enables you to make more intricate cuts. You can really do detailed work with a router. Make sure you buy one with a stable guide fence on the table, as this will hold your work study as you make your cuts.
A jig saw is the superior piece of machinery for making ornate and detailed pieces like children's toys, fireplace mantels, and one-of-a-kind signs. Jig saws are essential for the true craftsman who wants to spend more time on a memorable, intricate project.
In addition to these pieces of woodworking machinery, every craftsman needs a set of handheld tools that will complete jobs. Squares and chisels are timeless tools that you will use early and often. And before you begin any woodworking project, be sure you have all the basics. You can either purchase the ingredients for a great toolbox piecemeal, or you can buy a whole set. A hardware store or home improvement store will stock both options. Just make sure you consult an expert who can tell you what needs to go in your box. If you buy a set, you may need to supplement it with extras and there may be tools in there that you do not particularly need. You might be better off doing some research beforehand and investing in only the essential tools that you have determined belong in your workshop. Then you can buy the toolbox to house them.
