In any woodworking project, you must make your timber approximately the correct size first, subsequently fine-tune the timber to the precise dimensions, and lastly smooth it to the finish according to your requirement. Hence, you will begin by sawing your wood, then plan it down and lastly sand it so that you will have the finished product. To make all these easier, you should get yourself tools for woodworking and woodworking plans.
Here are 3 tools for woodworking that you must have to make your work easier:
1. Band Saw
You must have band saw for sawing your lumber. You can pick between a vertical or horizontal band saw. A band saw will most probably be one of the most multipurpose tools in your workshop because it can be used for cutting veneers, re-sawing and with practice, it can also be used to form joints for angled and curved cuts.
2. Power Planer
Power planer is also one of the helpful tools for woodworking. The difference between a power planer and a hand plane is, the power planer works hundred times faster. Unlike the hand plane which use a single blade, the power planer use multiple blades attached to a cylinder that rotate at high speed and then planes to the determined depth.
3. Orbital Sander
Once you have got your timber to the correct size, you will then want to smooth your cut timber down to its finish. A sander can help you do this, and my recommendation is the Palm Orbital Sander. Just as the name suggests, this is a hand held tool and it is small. With its small nature, you will be able to get into all those crannies and nooks which a belt sander or larger orbital cannot reach.
There you have my recommended tools. For woodworking, you should also have good woodworking plans which detailed out all the materials, tools and equipment required to begin your woodwork project.
