Woodworking is a great hobby, but you will require a range of tools to turn out great woodworking projects.

Many newcomers believe that with the growth of power tools available to the home woodworker nowadays, that hand tools are no longer required. The truth is much different. In reality the new woodworker will need a range of power tools and hand tools.

So what should be on the list of Beginner’s Woodworking Tools? I would suggest that you purchase a few smaller power tools (a sander and a drill) to get familair with them before you spend too much on any larger more powerful tools. In addition consider covering the following areas;

• Measuring – Tape, Try Square, Marking Knife
• Cutting – Hardpoint Saw and Tenon Saw
• Shaping – Plane, Chisels
• Assembling – Screwdriver, hammer, Mallet, Clamps

As you woodworking experience grows you will know which tools to purchase next.
