What tools (both power and hand) do you have in your workshop that you just
couldn't do without?


Good chop saw with a fine tooth blade
picture frame joint trimmer
high quality palm sander
excellent dust collector
quality straight edges and squares

Buy the best quality tools that you can afford that will do the job
now and for anything other projects that you forsee. Skimping on tool
quality costs you money and time in the long run. Also, when you
break down and buy an air compressor, don't even think about one of
the oiless types....the noise will drive you out of the shop and make
you regret the purchase every time it comes on.

I've got lots more in my shop, but I restore aircraft as both a hobby
and a business.
