Workshop Wishlist
12 Jan, 2005
As soon as my workbench was complete, my mind began to fill with all the things that I can now make or attempt to make.
Shortly thereafter, my mind began to fill with all the tools I’ll need to execute most of those projects satisfactorily. The mental list grows longer every day, so before things start to fall off the bottom I’m going to start adding them here in no particular order.
Power Tools
- Table Saw (a small, benchtop one)
- Band Saw (ditto)
- Table Router
- Dremel Tool w/ Router attachment
- Belt sander
- Drill Press (not all that critical, but a ‘nice to have’ item.)
Hand Tools
- Drawplane
- Spokeshave
- A decent set of files
- Banjo 5th Peg Reamer
- A bunch of Fretting Tools
Etc.
- A good vise
- Various clamps (c-clamps, strap clamp, etc)
- RocketFM (So I can play music from my PowerBook in the other room, and listen on the shop radio, assuming the range is decent)
This list will, no doubt, be amended frequently.
