A Basic skill in
a woodworking is completely needed to reach a job perfection. And you also
should be supported by some tools that you must
have. If you only have a few so it won’t be sufficient to accomplish the job.
although it is a basic tools but it can fully supported your woodworking’s job.
Pencil-Ok, Stop laughing people, this is really
needed in every woodworking’s job. if you think that this is unnecessary, Let
me say that this is vital. Because pencil is always useful in a basic
woodworking job. try to use a mechanical pencil rather than #2. It is more
satisfying.
Tape Measure- It is important to have a tape measure,
it will help you a lot in measuring the woods. For most woodworking you won't need anything more than a 25 foot
tape measure; in fact I use a 12 foot tape for most things that I build. Some
of the most important factors to consider when choosing a tape measure are: can
you read the numbers easily, does the tape extend and retract easily and is it
comfortable to hold? Don’t attract with other gimmicky things that includes in
the tape measure itself.
Saw (to cut boards to length)- In a basic woodworking
job is also needed a cutting, then of course you’ll need something to cut the
wood or a board for instance. It will enable you to cut those things easier. In
this case, a saw can be a proper tools that you needed. You can cut a board to length with; i.e. cut 10
inches off of the length of a 2×4, preferably in a straight line. This can be
your standard cross-cut (for cutting across the grain ) hand saw all the way up
to a powered compound miter saw. A hand saw will work pretty well but it takes
some practice and elbow grease to cut a clean, plumb and square (see
"square" below) line.
A "square"- A square of some sort is one of the most
important tools that a beginning or experienced woodworker can own in my
opinion. The name square is a bit misleading because the tool is almost never
shaped anything like a square. So it’s little a bit awkward. The point is you
need something that you can reference to make a square cut.
A Fastener- This is a weird category but a necessary one if
you plan to attach any pieces of wood together to form an actual object. These
are some tools that have a differences and its usage for woodworking projects
starting with the most basic. First, the hammer and nail are the most time
tested and basic tools that one can use to attach two pieces of wood together. The
next one is wood glue is a large topic unto itself that I will get into in
another article but suffice it to say that a bottle of quality wood glue is an
important addition to any woodworking arsenal. Screws are always a good choice
for wood projects. You may not leave this tool. It is really highly recommended
tool for a basic woodworking.
