Many times I’m asked what tools and products I use in my small workshop. I thought it would be helpful for you to put together a list of things I use.
Most of these items are affiliate links, which means I receive a small commission if you purchase an item using one of these links. There is no cost to you for using these links. Click here to visit my site policies to learn more about affiliate links. Thank you for your support!
It’s important to keep in mind that I’ve been DIYing for years and I’ve gathered these tools over a long period of time. Please don’t feel like you need to buy everything all at once!
