Now you know what should be in the arsenal of a man who is capable of more than just typing on a keyboard.

If you are going to do repairs, then read other relevant articles.

Probably, everyone wondered what tool is needed in the house, what is the most necessary? Perhaps it was during the first renovation of the apartment, or when buying a new one. Some of the tool should always be at hand, because it is difficult to predict when this or that thing may come in handy.

Home set

In the article, we will consider what everyone needs first of all. home master, which is difficult to do without Everyday life, be with you private house or an apartment.
I will make a short list of the tool that I consider the most important in my opinion, which I use most often.
Although tool kits are often sold ready-made, there are often unnecessary items, or not quite suitable, so I think it is advisable to take everything separately.

Electric drill

One of the most commonly used power tools in repairs. With its help, you can perform many tasks: drill a hole if you need to hang a cabinet, shelf, curtain rod, drill metal, wood, plastic. Of course, it is worth noting that it is not very efficient to drill concrete (slowly), but still it is possible, brick is no problem.

It can also replace a screwdriver, you can turn self-tapping screws. Only a little skill is needed, because there is no friction clutch, the cartridge will not stop in time, you can turn the head of the self-tapping screw. But at low speeds, slowly, it is quite possible to work like a screwdriver.

It will be possible to use a drill to knead a screed mortar or tile adhesive, of course, not in large volumes and not industrial scale, since this task requires a powerful engine, but just for home use it will cope without problems (you will need a mixer attachment).
For a drill, you will immediately need to take drills, you can use metal, they will easily take both plastic and wood. The most popular sizes are 3, 4, 6, 8, 10mm. they are inexpensive. If the house is brick or concrete, then the appropriate concrete drills. The most needed are 6mm, 8mm.
Well, for complete set plastic dowels, also 6 and 8mm.

Building

Without it, it is difficult to evenly hang the same shelf, cabinet, or set it level washing machine, put tiles, so without it anywhere. For ordinary household tasks, a small level, 60cm or 80cm, is enough.

3. wrench or adjustable wrench.

Needed for tightening nuts and bolts. You can take a small set of the most popular sizes (from 8mm to 17mm). But since we are talking about the most necessary, it is quite possible to get by with one adjustable wrench. There are many types and sizes. I think that a key up to 30 mm is the most versatile, since it will fit both small nuts and large ones that are used in plumbing, and you can also replace the tap.
Article about.
4. .

Main types

The piece is simply irreplaceable. Any screw, screw, self-tapping screw - without a screwdriver anywhere. So let's add them to the list.
Most right size cross No. 2 (marking PH No. 2). Suitable for most self-tapping screws used both in everyday life and in production. Suitable for black on wood, metal, with a press washer, for yellow.

You also need to take PH No. 1 (first cross). It is needed for thin self-tapping screws, such are used in small parts. Often they come with thresholds that connect the joints of linoleum.

You should not forget about the slotted one either, although it is used much less frequently than a cross, but still it is needed, you can take it 5 mm wide (the tip of a screwdriver is measured).

A probe screwdriver, you can check the socket or cable for voltage, you can also turn the screws. Since it is small, it is suitable for a terminal block. When repairing sockets, installing a chandelier, this is a very necessary thing. Even if the machine was turned off at the entrance, it is still worth checking the phase on the wire, there may be residual voltage. Such a screwdriver costs a penny.

5. Pipe wrench.

Zero number (small)

Unlike a wrench, it is convenient to clamp round objects, especially if its jaws are S-shaped. When repairing plumbing, sometimes it helps a lot. It is convenient to clamp something like this, the compression force is very good, the harder you press on the handles, the stronger the squeeze. Well suited in a situation where the object is not fixed, for example, a piece of pipe and there is a nut on it, hold the pipe with one hand, turn the nut with the other.

6. Wood saw.

Wood saw

It's difficult to run a business without it. It will be optimal to take it with a middle tooth, and the cut will turn out to be quite clean and it will not cut slowly. You can take a red-hot one, you don’t have to sharpen it.

5 meters

Any measurements in the house will make you pick up this tool, whether it's laying a laminate, installing ceiling cornice, yes anything.
I think that it is optimal to take a 5m tape measure, enough for most standard apartments.

Medium at 160mm

Clamp, press, hold, bite off a small nail, wire, cable, pull something out. On trifles, this tool performs a bunch of tasks, without it it is difficult to imagine a full-fledged set of tools for the house.
There are both mini pliers, as well as large and medium. Probably, it is optimal to buy medium ones, 160 mm long, they are most convenient to use, and they are suitable for both large and medium palms.

Convenient headband with 3 batteries

Useful thing. For example, you are installing a chandelier, or repairing a socket, the machine is turned off in the entrance, in this case it is difficult without a lantern. Yes, and it will fit in the car, or in the vegetable pit.
There are ordinary hand lanterns, there is also a headlamp. I consider the second option the most versatile, since both hands are free and the beam shines exactly in the place where you are looking at the moment.

10. A hammer.

Hammer average weight

Without nails in construction, nowhere, as well as without a hammer. They come in different weights. It will be optimal to have 400-500g on the farm, no more. You can hammer a small nail, and you can handle a big one. Naturally, it is better to hammer small ones, 200g with a hammer, and large 800g, but with infrequent use, one is enough.

Clerical

You can buy regular stationery. Suitable for stripping cables, such as antenna. You can cut linoleum, cardboard, leather.

12. Small set of self-tapping screws won't hurt the house.

Self-tapping screws different

Let's take the most popular ones. These are black wood for 20mm, 50mm, maybe 75mm. With a press washer for 13mm, 25mm (also suitable for metal). Enough for a small handful, pieces of 100.
You can also take dowels to them immediately if you have to mount them in a concrete or brick wall.

13. Well, where is it all stored? This will require tool box. There are both big ones and small ones. But it’s better to have more, say, 24 inches, although it will take up space, but everything will fit, except for the level, although if it’s 40 cm, it will fit. The box has a main compartment - for large items, there are also small things, such as self-tapping screws, dowels, bits, drills, screwdrivers.

That's basically it. I think this set should be in every home. Of course, this is only the basis, here you can add a number of things at your discretion, such as side cutters, thin-nosed pliers, hacksaws. Also a good set would be for a gift.

Price. Probably an important factor when buying. I took the tool not the most expensive, but not the cheapest, so that it was not very expensive, but it also served decently. Manufacturers may be different, not necessarily those in the photo.
Here approximate price at the end of 2012

Foreword

Without different construction equipment you can’t do it in the country - you always need to repair something, take care of the garden, build. That's why carpentry tool for a home workshop must be kept in accordance with all the rules. We will also tell you what kinds of tools you should have at your disposal.

Required Tools

screwdriver Grinders Chisel Screwdriver Electric drill nail puller Workbench show all

First of all, we need to consider the tools that should be in the workshop, since in the country and suburban area working with wood and other building materials is considered the most popular. Of course, it is not necessary to buy them all at once, as this can cost you a lot of money, however, as financial opportunities arise, try to purchase several copies. All of them are conditionally divided into:

• Mechanized tools;
• Hand tools.

Manual devices are much cheaper than mechanized ones, most often they are used for small repairs or processing. If their power and efficiency are not enough, and the front of work is large, you cannot do without mechanized tools. Of course, everyone should select devices individually, depending on needs, preferences and material wealth. However, it should contain a set of tools for "basic work". These include a hacksaw, screwdrivers, pliers, pliers, tape measure, building level, planer, crowbar (nail puller) and chisel.

Be sure to look at devices such as an electric drill and a jigsaw, which can greatly facilitate your work and make your work faster, while the cost of the devices is quite low. The main thing is to purchase models famous brands because they are reliable and practical.

As you already understood, the list of devices is quite large, and many do not even know the names of some of them. However, there is a certain list of tools that you may need at any time: for drilling holes, hammering nails, grinding.

The most popular manual mechanisms include:

• An ax is a tool used for cutting, tesk and other types of wood processing;
• Hacksaw, without which it will not do;
• Joiner's saw, thanks to which logs are cut;
• Hammer used in hammering nails;
• Planer used for planing wooden surfaces;
• Chisel - a tool for processing wooden blanks;
• Not a single work with wood can do without a nail puller, because it is with them that we will remove nails;
• A tape measure is used to measure the distance, and you will need it when doing any construction work;
• Screwdrivers, without which you can neither screw in nor unscrew the screw;
• Pliers;
• Workbench - equipment for a carpentry home workshop, designed to secure workpieces during their processing with other tools.

You can not do without mechanized tools that increase the speed of work and its quality. Their list is also huge, but many are used only for specialized work. But there are those whose operation may be needed at any time. These include:

• Circular saws needed for cutting building materials;
• An electric planer is a device used for planing wood. With this tool, you can easily achieve flat surface blanks;
• The electric drill is designed for drilling holes in various materials;
• Grinders - carpentry equipment that is required when grinding surfaces before painting;
• Electric jigsaws are used when cutting a variety of building materials. The main advantage of such a device is the ability to make curly cuts;
• Screwdriver, which is used for loosening and tightening screws. With the purchase of additional nozzles, you can drill holes;
• Processing machine with which you can cut boards, sheet materials. Its main advantage is its versatility, one such tool can easily replace several, and it will take up much less space in the workshop.

Undoubtedly, some of the tools listed above are not only for carpentry, because they can work quietly and just as powerfully with metal, concrete, brickwork. In addition to the purchase, the correct storage of materials is also important, which we will also talk about now. This will keep your units safe and sound, which will extend their service life.

Storage is an equally important factor when purchasing devices, and therefore you need to think in advance how the workshop will look like, where the drawers and shelves will be located so that you can immediately find the item you need.

Experts share several rules for arranging a workshop and storing inventory in it, which you definitely need to familiarize yourself with:

1. Sort inventory into groups, the main of which include: measuring instruments, plumbing, plumbing and mounting tools. All of them should be formed according to semantic groups;
2. Cleanliness and order is the rule of thumb, as dust and grease can cause your devices to “lose health”. Be sure to set aside a small space in the workshop for storing solvents, rags, detergents, technical napkins. And clean them immediately after using them;
3. The use of special storage furniture is another important factor. It includes racks, cabinets and drawers, which also help to visually expand the space;
4. Use free areas on the walls for attaching tools, which will get rid of the clutter of boxes and racks;
5. “Fragile items” should be stored in drawers to protect them from breakage, and sharp tools should be placed in a way to avoid possible injury. They also cannot be stacked on top of each other, since this way the chances of getting injured when searching the right tool rise;

If you use the rules described above, you can easily create a comfortable environment for work, keeping your carpentry tools for the workshop in complete safety.

For construction country house you will need different tools. It is best to purchase them in advance so that in the process of work you do not have to be distracted by the search for a particular tool.

10. Targeting boards.

The level (Fig. 13) is needed to check the directions (horizontal and vertical). It is equipped with horizontal and vertical devices in the form of slightly curved glass tubes, inside of which is alcohol. The two lines at the highest part of the tube indicate the vertical direction, the horizontal direction is indicated by the location of the air bubble between the lines of the second tube. The length of the level should be approximately 40–80 cm.

Rice. 13. Level

When buying an instrument, pay attention to the fact that it retains readings in all directions. To do this, the level is rotated by 180 °, after placing it on a plane, the bubble should remain between the two measuring lines.

The hose level (Fig. 14) is used when determining those points that should be on the same level, for example, when laying plinths, foundations, laying floors, etc.

Rice. 14. Level-hose

This type of level can be made by yourself from a simple garden hose. Both ends of the hose are bent up to a certain height, then transparent tubes closed with plugs are inserted into them. After that, the hose is filled with water so that its level in the tubes is on the same horizontal line. At the same time, the plugs are removed and the necessary points are marked on the column of water.

To increase the length of the level up to 5 m, it can be attached to the bar with rubber bands (Fig. 15).

Rice. 15. Level for checking surfaces

A folding meter determines the dimensions of not big parts. To extend the life of the tool, each of its joints is lubricated with machine oil.

A measuring rail made of wood is used when determining the dimensions of large parts. The length of such a rail should be at least 3-5 m, width - 4 cm, height - 3 cm.

With the help of a folding ruler, divisions are applied along the entire length of the rail every 5 cm.

An elastic measuring tape is needed when it is impossible to accurately determine the dimensions of the part using a folding ruler and wooden lath. As a rule, the tool is made of steel or linen tape.

The square is used when working with drawings for rectangular markings, at construction works ah to create right angles, etc.

A twisted cord (Fig. 16) will be required for hanging building parts, fences, paths, etc. To extend the service life, a new cord is lubricated with oil. For the same purpose, an elastic band 1 m long is attached to one of its ends.

Rice. 16. Cord twisted

A markup template is used to mark frequently recurring dimensions. It is quite possible to replace it with a folding ruler.

Targeting boards (Fig. 17) are necessary for hanging heights and planes.

In addition to tools for painting, you need to take care of various containers for storing and carrying materials. These can be cans, cans, canisters, barrels, boxes for bulk materials, buckets, bowls, etc.

Carpentry tools

For carpentry work, the following tools should be prepared:

1. Planer (sherhebel, ordinary planer, double knife planer, jointer, grinder).

2. Chisel.

3. Various clamping devices.

5. Drills.

7. Skobel.

8. Workbench.

A planer is needed for planing a tree. There are several varieties of planers, each of which has a block with a notch and a slot for a knife and chips, and a device for attaching a knife. The tool knife is set to the desired chip thickness.

For rough work, a sherhebel is used - a narrow planer with a rounded knife without a tongue. A regular planer, which has a slightly rounded blade and does not have a sliding tongue, can smooth out a poorly finished surface. To do this, the planer is led at an angle to the surface, thereby preventing the appearance of scoring. Among craftsmen, a planer with a double straight blade and rounded corners is especially popular.

The planer-grinder is equipped with a narrow slot in the last and a precise setting of the tongue, which makes it suitable for finishing.

A jointer 60 cm long is used for processing long parts.

A chisel is used to gouge holes for locks and spikes. It consists of a hardwood handle and a blade fixed in it with a wedge.

To increase the strength of the connection of parts, clamping devices will be required, for example, a bollard, a clamp, a door clamp.

Cycle and scraper - tools for finishing. With their help, irregularities on the surface of a tree treated with a planer are eliminated.

The workbench belongs to the equipment of the carpentry workshop. It performs almost all carpentry work.

Glass Tools

For glass work you will need the following tools:

1. Diamond glass cutter.

2. Carbide glass cutter.

3. Pincers (pliers).

4. Chisel.

5. Ruler.

6. Hammer.

The diamond glass cutter is considered the best tool for cutting glass. It is equipped with a metal hammer, in which there are slots for breaking glass.

Carbide glass cutter is used to cut glass. Cutting is carried out by three rollers inserted into slotted heads.

Pliers (pliers) are used to break off already cut glass.

A chisel is required for finishing the frame under glass, as well as for other work.

The ruler is used for more precise and even cutting of glass.

A hammer is needed to strengthen the glass in the frame.

Devices for transporting building materials

For transportation you will need:

2. Trolley.

3. Rocker.

4. Stretcher.

The wheelbarrow is used at a construction site as vehicle. Working with it requires some skill.

It should be remembered that the load must be placed in the middle part of the wheelbarrow.

The trolley is also used at a construction site as a vehicle. It is perfect for carrying heavy loads, thereby facilitating the work of builders.

The rocker is used to carry baskets and buckets filled with water, sand, cement, etc.

Stretchers are needed to move goods.

Tool sharpening

In order for the work to be of better quality and not to expend too much effort on them, you need to ensure that all tools are well sharpened.

To sharpen tools you will need:

1. Sharpener.

2. Bar.

3. File.

Sharpening blades with a sharpener cutting tools. When sharpening the blades of a chisel, planer and chisel, the whetstone is rotated towards the blade (Fig. 29). The blade after sharpening is ground with a bar.

Rice. 29. Sharpener

During the sharpening process, the stone is moistened with water from time to time so that the steel from which the tool is made does not anneal.

To sharpen the saw, a trihedral file is used, the size of which must correspond to the size of the saw teeth.

Before performing work, the teeth of the tool are bred so that they have equal height and the width of the gap. Divorce of teeth is done with a special wiring or adjustable tongs. Before sharpening the saw, it is tightly clamped in a vice so that the teeth protrude from the vise by only 2 cm. The saw is sharpened with right side its blades towards the left (when sharpening the saw teeth, burrs are formed, which increase the efficiency of working with the tool). Care must be taken to ensure that each tooth has the same number of file movements.

The teeth of a saw designed for working with raw wood are sharpened on both sides.

To sharpen the blades of a chisel and planer, a support is attached to the grinding box, which makes it possible to sharpen the tool knives evenly and correctly. During sharpening, pay attention to the position of the tip: it must be completely adjacent to the grindstone. After sharpening, the tip is slightly rounded so that when working with the tool on wooden surface grooves and notches did not appear. To remove burrs from a knife or a planer, it is brought on a bar, performing circular movements and turning it over one side or the other.

Tools such as chisels and punches are sharpened with an electric sharpener. The point and blade of the punch and chisel are not sharpened as sharply as the blades and points of tools used for woodworking. During operation, it is necessary to ensure that the sharpening angle is more obtuse. During the sharpening process, the tool is cooled from time to time.

The cycle is sharpened with a file. Fine-tuning of the cycle is carried out until a burr is formed over the chamfer of the tip.

High-quality, accurate holes are obtained with a well-sharpened drill. But its sharpening should be carried out only by a specialist. If the tool does not drill well, it can be slightly corrected with a simple knife file with a fine cut, with light movements directed counterclockwise.

In order for cutting and other tools not to fail prematurely, they must be handled correctly: stored in a strictly defined place, their cutting parts should be protected from dust, sand, moisture, etc.

Our portal has already talked about what opportunities open up for a home craftsman who decides to make furniture on his own. In the article you can read about the basic principles and "tricks" used by professional carpenters and the right master cabinetmakers.

In continuation of the topic we have begun, in this article we talk about what tools a novice carpenter needs, and which of the popular sets should be purchased “for growth”.

• Where to start choosing a tool for making furniture;
• Is it possible to make high-quality furniture without a special tool;
• What is the minimum set of good hand tools needed for a beginner carpenter. Our rating;
• How to choose power tools for the workshop;
• What power tools do professional cabinet makers use. The best tool from a professional point of view;
• How to approach the arrangement of a furniture workshop;
• What is the difference between jointer and planer.

How to approach the choice of carpentry tools

A firm decision was made to self-manufacturing furniture. However, one desire is not enough - you need an appropriate tool. This is where the main "pitfall" lies.

Many novice masters believe that without a large assortment It is impossible to make high-quality furniture with an expensive and professional tool. The result of this popular approach is well known. A beginner either does not dare to start working, believing that “without this device I will not succeed”, or falls into the other extreme - “runs” around the shops, buying the best tool, not even understanding whether he needs one or the other, and how to use it.

However, on initial stage it is quite possible to get by with a minimum set of reliable amateur-level tools. The main thing is to give yourself the opportunity to consciously approach the choice, guided by the principle: buy tools for the carpentry workshop as needed.

A good example of this approach is a bed made by the spouse of a member of our portal with the nickname Regina Peter.

Regina Peter FORUMHOUSE user

My husband and I moved to the countryside for permanent residence. We needed a double bed. The husband decided to make it by all means himself, although before that he didn’t even hold a small hammer in his hands, and didn’t make anything at all. My husband told me his vision, and I drew a bed in a special program. As a result, we settled on this option.

The boards and balusters that went to the legs of the bed were bought from a nearby building materials store. The work began to boil, and this is what the novice master ended up with.

The most interesting thing is that this proper bed was made with a minimal set of hand tools, and all the details were cut out with a reliable garden saw “taken away” from my wife!

Regina Peter

It was possible to buy a ready-made bed in a store, but the pleasure of work, and most importantly, the end result, cannot be compared with anything. The husband, as they say, got a taste, continued to work as a carpenter and after the bed made an insulated front door and then the table.

Conclusion: you need to start making furniture from manufacturing simple products, which will require the most elementary reliable tools: stools, simple beds, simple tables, shelves, etc. And only after the passage of time, with the growth of skill, you can think about acquiring an expensive and professional tool. This is the only way to ensure that the purchase will be in demand, and will not be a waste of money.

In "furniture carpentry" the main thing is to "feel" the tree, learn how to use the tool, understand whether you like this business. Only in this case you will create products that will become your pride.

You should also figure out in advance what kind of furniture you will make, cabinet - cabinets, or whole kitchen sets etc., or soft - sofas, armchairs. Or the soul lies more in solid furniture of the author's work, with an abundance of complex figured and carved elements. Each direction requires its own, specific tool, but you need to start with the formation of a basic and universal set.

The most popular tools for the home carpenter.

Wood carpentry tool

To make things easier for you, all essential tool can be divided into three large groups:

1. Hand tool;
2. Tooling and expendable materials;
3. Power tool.

Let's take a closer look at each of these groups.

Hand tools include:

• Hand saw for wood and metal;
• hand planers and jointers;
• Manual jigsaw;
• A set of chisels for wood;
• Iron nail hammer;
• Mallet with a rubber or wooden striker;
• Furniture stapler;
• Pliers;
• Shoe knife;
• Awl;
• adjustable wrench;
• A set of screwdrivers with a straight or Phillips edge;
• wire cutters.

Equipment and consumables:

• Vice for a workbench;
• Clamps. They act as a "third hand", allowing you to fix the details during processing or gluing;
• Pencil and marker;
• Forstner drill. Used for drilling non-through holes with flat bottom(for internal loops) in the tree and board materials: Chipboard, MDF, etc. Due to their design, such drills do not tear wood fibers, leaving behind a smooth surface;
• Ring crowns for wood. Used for cutting through round hole large diameter (20-130 mm) in wood, chipboard sheets, etc.;
• Drills for metal with a diameter of 2 to 10 mm, in increments of 0.5 to 1 mm;
• Drills with a hard-alloy tip. Used for drilling concrete to hang shelves, etc.;
• Screwdriver bit set;
• A set of drills for wood, with a diameter of 2 to 12 mm.

The measuring tool should be singled out in a separate group.

This includes:

• Roulette length from 3 to 5 meters;
• Metal ruler from 50 to 100 cm long;
• Metal square with a side of 30 cm;
• Level 50-60 cm long.

Adding to this set just impact drill and a screwdriver, a person "with hands" can do a lot. In addition to the manufacture of furniture, these tools can be used for any repairs in the house or in the country.

Also, do not forget about the need for a workbench, because. it is impossible to work normally "on the knee" and get a quality product.

Sitnikoff FORUMHOUSE user,
Moscow.

A furniture workshop is unthinkable without a workbench. I made my first workbench from a 100x50 mm board. The boards were "junk" - left over from waste at a construction site. Therefore, the workbench turned out to be not the most successful, but it still serves me as an assembly table.

Choosing a power tool for a carpentry workshop

If there are usually no problems with choosing a hand tool, then when it comes to choosing a power tool, a lot of questions arise. Therefore, it is important to make a basic list of the essentials.

To the so-called. basic power tools, without which it is impossible or difficult to make furniture, include:

• Electric drill;
• Electric screwdriver;
• Electric jigsaw;
• Belt grinder.

This set is enough to start making, albeit not the most complex, but high-quality products. In the future, as the skill grows and the complexity of the work, the list best tools will be replenished.

When choosing a power tool for a novice master, the main thing is not to go to extremes, buying only the cheapest models or chasing expensive professional products from one manufacturer. High Quality. It is worth adhering to the golden mean "price / quality" and choosing a tool not for its cost, but one that will be convenient for you to use.

Novice carpenters often have a question: do you need such power tools in the workshop as milling machine, jointer, thickness gauge, circular electric saws and at what stage they need to be purchased and what to be guided by when buying, except for the price.

Archimed FORUMHOUSE user

I thought about equipping my workshop. I need to process boards for wall cladding, and in the future I plan to make furniture. With good hand tool everything is clear, but there are a lot of questions about the use of electric, and you need to “get into the budget”. I need expert advice on what to buy, what I need in the future. So far my rating is:

• drill;
• screwdriver;
• grinder;
• jigsaw;
• electric planer;
• circular saw;
• manual frezer;
• thicknesser machine.

Topic created archimed, provoked a wide response. Many professional craftsmen offered their options for completing the workshop.

Sitnikoff FORUMHOUSE user

When I first got into carpentry, I had to make simple workbench, and I only had: a bow saw, a drill, an old planer, a few chisels, Forstner drills and a shoe knife. Everything. But I made a workbench. Now, after 10 years of carpentry, my rating of the best tools is as follows:

• Milling table with milling cutter;
• Manual frezer;
• Belt and eccentric grinder;
• Miter saw;
• Table circular saw;
• Several electric planes;
• Electric jigsaw, electric drills and screwdrivers;
• Dust removal system;
• Grinder;
• Compressor for a carpentry workshop with a spray gun;
• Planer machine.

This is not the whole list of power tools. Plus, I had to pick up a lot of hand tools.

Moreover, Sitnikoff does not plan to stop there and is thinking of acquiring:

• jointer;
• band saw;
• drilling machine;
• wood lathe;
• Install a chip removal and air ventilation system.

Summarizing

Answering the question asked Archimed-m, we can say that a possible set of tools for a furniture maker is directly proportional to his budget, the planned volume and complexity of work, and, importantly, the area of ​​\u200b\u200bthe workshop. After all, the entire tool will have to be placed somewhere - so that it is convenient to use, and access to it is safe, not limited or difficult.

You can make furniture, working in a limited area, in an apartment, on a balcony, in a corridor. But any master sooner or later comes to the need to build his own workshop. Moreover, a well-planned workshop, with communications connected, well insulated, in which you can work all year round, regardless of weather and daylight hours.

To have a guide to the future and understand what you need to equip a furniture workshop "for growth", you can use the following list. This is:

• Stationary circular saw and milling machine;
• Miter saw;
• Circular plunge-cut saw with guide rail;
• Band-saw;
• thicknessing machine;
• Stationary jointer.

On the last two machines, attention should be focused, because. sometimes novice carpenters get confused about their purpose.

With a jointer, the knife shaft is located in the table, i.e. below, so this machine sets a flat plane - the "base". The jointer, unlike the planer, does not make the workpiece of the same thickness.

At the thickness gauge, the knife is located on top, so this machine makes a plane parallel to the “base”. If you run a workpiece with a “screw” or “hump” into the thickness gauge, then at the output we will get a planed curved workpiece.

Therefore, first we set the workpiece to a plane (we make a “base”), removing the “screw” or “saber” with a jointer, then we plan the workpiece to a given thickness with a thickness gauge.

Conclusion: to acquire expensive, complex, professional tool it is necessary not "in reserve", but only by moving to a new stage of his development as a master. In other words, you buy this or that tool only when you realize that your carpentry workshop is already a small workshop and you cannot make any furniture parts without it.

When working with power tools and machines, safety precautions must be observed. Namely: put on goggles and thick clothes, fasten your sleeves, put your hair under your headgear for reliability. In the carpentry workshop, in a conspicuous place, there must be a first aid kit.

And what should be the workplace of a cabinet maker.
