Thread: Very green and appreciative

G'day King Dog and welcome to the fount of knowledge,helpfulness and insanity!!

A good table saw with good blades is a start. Steer clear of Triton Work centres, not accurate enough.
Opinions will vary on which is best but, as you know, you get what you pay for.

A good thicknesser will be worthwhile, or perhaps a combination planer thicknesser.

Good drill press, grinder for tool sharpening and a solid work bench. Have a look through the workbench
builds on the forums here. There are some beauties and you will certainly appreciate them.

Hand tools are important, planes, chisels, squares and so on.

Well good luck an don't be afraid to ask questionS!!!!!

G'Day & Welcome to a top forum King dog,
You'll find a heap of helpful & knowledgeable blokes & ladies on the forum and for most very willing to assist.
Make sure you show off your handiwork as everyone loves a photo, especially WIP photos with build notes.
Enjoy the forum.
Enjoy your woodwork.
Cheers, crowie

PS - For me, I started with a Triton as that's all I could afford and it was okay to learn on....
Most of my early tools/machinery was lower end and even secondhand so have a look in the "for sale section" on the forum plus your local area garage sales or country clearance sales to get a start without breaking the bank....,

Welcome to the forum.

It takes a little bit of time to get to know everything about wood working so not really expecting someone who just started to know everything. I find the best way for me is to make things, it can be a little bit of a trial and error but learning as I travel along my path.

There are several sub forums to this forum and it might be advisable to post questions more specific to what you are intending to make. That normally guides me to what I want to purchase in tools either new or second hand.
