At woodworkers patterns, your woodworkers toolbox is not just for tool storage. Although this is the main function of a woodworkers toolbox, whats inside of it, is whats more important. Having the proper tools for your wood shop is just as important as the tool storage.
Lets go over some of the essentials. I could go in to depth, but for now, lets just talk about the basic tools I use everyday in my wood shop, no matter what it is I'm building. Usually the first thing I grab is my tape measure, lets face it, without that, your done. Old timers will tell you a wood rule is better than a tape measure. I prefer the tape. It's just faster! it's personal preference I suppose.
Other tools in my woodworkers toolbox would include: claw hammers, utility knife, T square, rafter square, lots of pencils, can never have enough of these. Also, screw drivers, plyer set, and a bunch of different power tools. My best friend is my cordless drill. This has to be the best invention since electric. Back in the day, everyone use to use nails, now it seems everyone is using screws to build their woodworking projects. Not to mention screws make it stronger, a less possibility of coming apart. Try and pull two boards apart that are screwed together. It's hard to do. But before the cordless drill, it was a pain using screws. Way easier now.
Speaking of cordless drills, do yourself a favor, buy an 18 volt or higher drill. The others in my opinion are junk. Batteries don't last as long, and they just don't have the power. jmo
You can go crazy putting things in your woodworkers toolbox, I know I do. I have so much stuff in there, I can't find what I'm looking for half the time. So it's endless what you can put in there. but if your just starting out, start with the basics, and build from there.
