My Tools

These are the tools that I currently use on a day-to-day basis. I just keep to the basics when building projects. I have found that you don’t really need that many tools to be successful at woodworking or start a business.

If you want to learn more about how I use these tools be sure to check out the projects page and also my YouTube channel where you can subscribe and view my most current and past projects.
