Outfitting on a real tight budget.
Hi,
I'm new here and new to woodworking. I'm a single Dad of to four kids (21, 19, 11 & 9yo) and somewhat impaired after two 15 rounders with brain tumours. I decided to use my 6m x 6m shed as a workshop and general man area.
Being on a disability pension, money is tight so I've been trolling classifieds and slowly collecting tools for specific jobs. So far I haven't spent $500 on machinery and I've picked up a Ryobi Table Saw, a deWalt radial arm saw, a gasless mig, a new cheapy scroll saw, a few bench grinders, a cheapy plunge router, etc.
Fortunately my original trade as a machine setter/mechanic means I can restore things myself most of the time & I already had a few hand power tools.
Let the adventure begin.
