Woodworking Supplies

In addition to all the woodworking tools and machinery that a woodworker needs, there are any number of woodworking supplies that must be kept on hand for woodworking projects. It is truly frustrating to be in the middle of a project and have to run to town for an item.

It goes without saying that finding the wood for your project is the number one priority on your list (assuming, of course, that you already have your plans and know what size boards to get.) What type wood you use is simply a matter of choice, whether it be oak, pine, walnut, butternut, ash, etc. ( I once had a neighbor who made a number of items from an apple tree. While the wood was beautiful, he said that it was very hard to work with. Perhaps you’ve made a similar item from a favorite tree of yours.)

Once you’ve assembled your wood, you’ll need wood glue, a vise, clamps of various styles and sizes, a square, router bits, drill bits, ruler, yardstick or measuring tape, screws, nuts and bolts, and a pencil or marker of some sort. (Hopefully I haven’t omitted anything.*) Add to this list a tool box or a set of drawers to keep all of your supplies, and you’re good to go!

*And a coffee pot?!?
