Thread: What tools do I need to buy?

All of the above tools will be useful, the dremel is great with burrs for hollowing and organic shapes as long as the work isnt too heavy. It partly depends on how big these are but you dont actually need gouges, add some files and rasps to your kit and you could muddle through.

a 100mm angle grinder with 36 grit sanding disc should work for the gunstock

I thought I would need something like this?



I am happy to buy some tools, so if someone wast to give me a suggested list (and an idea on where to buy) I would go shopping. I am not sure of what size rasps etc. I know as little about woodworking as you can probably get.

Local hardware is a good start for rasps and files, size depends on how big your hands are and the size of the job. I mainly use 12in rasps for rough shaping after cutting out the blank and then smoother single or double cut files and sandpaper. Dremel burrs are useful for compound curves and hard to reach spots,Typhoon and Kutzall are both good and can be got through a google search or ebay.
