well a mitre saw or table saw with lots of teeth can be handy
a cordless drill, screwdrivers, plane, sander (belt, mouse, orbital), builders pencils(lot’s they get lost easy lol), tape measure, level, wood glue, router, dowls, maybe a biscut joiner but he wont need that untill he gets more skilled and most importatly safety gear. eg eye protection, earmuffs, mask thing
O and it’s always good to have a dust extractor he’ll be dealing with a lot of dust
hope this helps
xD

Go to the library and check out some books about woodworking. Subscribe to some woodworking magazines, also there are many online sources. For the first tools to purchase, a couple of sets of drill bits, auger and brad point twist drills. Then a hand plane set, a speed square, folding rule, and a tape measure. A woodworkers apron, safety shoes, and a portable bench (work mate type) until a full wood bench can be built. Also a set of levels, 2, 4, 6 foot in length, clamps, and for material.
Glue, various grit sand paper, wood screw assortment and screwdrivers, fine emery paper, wood chisel sets. With these basics, and a framing square that has been trued, he can get started. Some very fine tools can be found at estate and garage sales, also some junk tools. Hand saws and some spare blades for the circular saws. Have fun.

Comment on Is it okay to use a extension cord to connect multiple power tools? by sparky 36045

sparky 36045 — Wed, 10 Mar 2010 15:40:59 +0000

Yes, as long as you don't over rate your circuit amperage. Always use #12 AWG cords in construction. Always use a GFCI. I always use a ext. cord for multi tools. I only use one at a time. Hey! If your in your garage and its a newer home, get you one of those retractable cords and hang it from the ceiling. If its a newer home the garage door opener circuit is (or suppose to be) on a seperate circuit. This gives you an additional circuit, just don't open your door and run big power tools the same time.

the first buy should be a good table saw…he can buy wood already planed and joined till he gets a planer and a joiner…routers at least 2 …drill press , combination disk and belt sander and a palm or random orbit sander…compound miter saw…screws and glues…air finish nailer…lots and lots of different sizes of clamps , cant have too many clamps…for magazines i get WOOD , WORKBENCH , and POPULAR WOODWORKING, there are others but i’m not allowed any more…any books by patrick spielman to learn how to use some of his tools and any books that are loaded with different projects…

The extension cord should be say 14 gauge though 16 gauge..,but truthfully I recommend and think it is best to practice SAFETY first and to leave your power tools disconnected unless you are using them at the same time on a particular project. You never know who might come along and flip switch/press button. Hope the Above Info Helps!

The tools you get will depend a lot on what you plan on building. A router would be all but useless to a turner, and a lathe seldom used by a cabinet maker. Start basic and add to it as your needs, skills and projects dictate. For me, the table saw is the king of the shop.

Here is a good series of articles and free e-book on starting out:

look for a reset button first and try to push it. if this doesn't work, than check the contacts on the pressure regulator.

Comment on where was the woodworking tool the jigsaw invented at? by KTB

KTB — Wed, 10 Mar 2010 14:53:59 +0000

http://meaptocs.bosch-pt.com/boptocs-mea/Category.jsp?division=gw&language=en-GB&ccat_id=87569

As per the site listed above, BOSCH, invented the handheld Jigsaw in 1947.

http://inventors.about.com/library/inventors/bltools.htm

The first band saw was invented by William Newberry in 1807. Samuel Miller, 1777, created the first Circular saw. Tabatha Babbitt, a Shaker, and improved upon both by building the first sawmill Circular saw and the first (thin) Band saw that was used for fine cutting. She invented the separate spinning wheel heads that made this possible.

I collect old tools and I GUARANTEE that both sites, listed above, prove this answer correct.

For books and quality toys, Lee Valley Tools, Rockler Tools, Fox Chapel Publishing, and Woodcraft Tools. They all have web sites and paper catalogs. For bigger tools, look at Grizzly Tools. They are economical and quite good. I have a number of their items – table saw, lathe, jointer/planer, thickness planer, stationary belt sander – and have never regretted buying any of them.

Comment on How much does a ultimate rare power tool dragon cost? by Zechs

Zechs — Wed, 10 Mar 2010 14:49:59 +0000

25-35$ is probably about how much it's worth but you could get it pretty easily for 10-15$.
