I've been working hard selecting tools for my beginners woodworking toolkit.

I overthink a lot. I get caught up in the detail trying to find the “perfect” tool.

But it doesn't matter!

These aren't the last tools I will buy

A very bad perspective drawing of my workbench!

I have no idea how to draw in 3D can you tell??

I'll admit it I'm a bit obsessed with woodworking tools even though I'm a beginner! (Especially planes...)

What are your must-have tools for your workshop?

Share your favorites, I want to hear about them!

Hi I'm Daniel the author of The Woodworking Shed, I just learned about Mastodon so I thought I'd join and see what's up!

If you're a woodworker or just aspire to be one we need to connect.

I'm on a journey in 2025 to become a woodworker myself. I'm writing about that journey over on my Substack.

My second project is to provide beginner friendly - jargon free - content that anyone can enjoy!
