I’m hoping it at least helps someone Ken 🙂 The track of thought I’m following concerns those without work benches and how it’s possible – before aiming for a complete tool kit – for them to become involved in woodworking with minimal financial lay out and equipment.
In this instance, the tools involved were;
1. 7tpi handsaw (My outdoor kit tends to involve using throwaway saws and cheap chisels) – Spear & Jackson “Predator” 1st Fix
2. Adjustable square – 12″
3. Sliding Bevel – 8″
4. Tape measure
5. Smoothing plane – #4 Stanley or #04 Record
6. Claw hammer – 20 oz
7. Bevel Edged chisel – 1″
8. Pencil & / or Marking Knife
Additional Tools if prepping rough stock
1. Jack Plane – #5 Stanley / #05 Record with cutting edge set to an 8″-12″ radius
Additional Tools – if adding an optional V-shaped crotchet for use when door hanging and/or sawing length-wise on the saw horse
1. Bit Brace – I tend to prefer a 10″ sweep when drilling heavier stock, but use whichever size sweep you prefer
2. Auger bit – 1-1/4″ dia
Materials
1. Pine – 6″ x 2″ PSE (Planed Square Edged)
2. Pine – 3″ x 1-1/2″ PSE
3. PVA – Outdoor grade
4. Nails – Round/Oval Headed @ 2″ x 8 Qty
