When you need precise cuts, especially on plywood, this is a must-have. One of the best track saws on the market. It also comes with a very nice case.
Perfect for the garage woodworker, this table saw will get a lot of the job done. Two disadvantages: it won't accept a dado blade, and it can't handle large sheets of plywood without building side supports and an outfeed table (that's why I use a track saw!).
Another must-have for serious garage woodworkers. Weighing in at around 90 lbs, this thing is a BEAST to move around, so consider buying/building a stand.
Whether listening to audiobooks, rocking out to my favorite tunes, or just trying to tune out the kids, these headphones are a lifesaver in the shop! Who wants to listen to the voices in their head while they're working, anyway?!
I use this computer exclusively. It is perfect for hand-drawing sketches of my project ideas, drawing them in Sketchup or Fusion 360, and then turns into a tablet to bring in the shop for reference for parts' dimensions.
This tool is a must for all woodworkers - beginner and pro alike, and DeWalt is my go-to brand most times.
Another essential for all woodworkers!
This sprayer saves you a TON of time when finishing your products. Well worth the money!
