The first tools for woodworking that I bought were pretty rudimentary. I was then, in wood carving, so I not that much more is required. Woodworking tools for carving are in fact different Knives. There are meant to gouge out of the wood, knives for making a nice edge, knives for creating rounded corners, knives and for any other form of detail work you could imagine. At the time, I thought I had que a collection of tools for woodworking, but I really had only a single case filled with Knives. Maybe there were eight different tools and a grinding stone.
When I actually home construction projects, however, I needed a lot more advanced tools for woodworking. Tools for woodworking come in all shapes and sizes, and some of them can be quite pricey. My first serious woodworking tool was a reciprocating saw. It was an old model that my father had sting in the garage for decades, and probably not in the best shape. Nevertheless, I loved. Can I stuff with that I never before I could imagine. I had the abily to shape wood with precise cuts, which allowed me to create furnure, rudimentary cabinets and many other projects. In retrospect, the things that I was making at that time was pretty rough, but I still enjoyed it.
As my skills improved with carpentry, I have more tools for woodworking. I know that a lot of people who will start getting a whole woodworking tool set, but I've enjoyed my tools get one at a time. I really had to learn how to use each hammer, saw, each sander each and every router before I allowed myself to buy a new one. That way, I appreciate everything I have. Every new tool allowed me to doing new projects that I hadn't been able to do before.
That is why, now that I have a son of my own, I am introducing him to woodworking tools pretty slow. Although hand saw much coarser and slower than PowerTools, I let him working with a handsaw and some nails to show how many interesting projects you with a number of rough and simplistic tools can do. That way, when he more high-tech and high qualy tools gets, he'll really appreciate what he works with. Sooner or later, we'll start a first full project together. I personally think to build a boat, but we will see what he wants to do before deciding.
