My new house has a big triple garage and with only one car I’ve decided to build a workshop and start accumulating tools. Because why not. Got some questions.
Workbench
My first project will be a workbench. What are some recommendationded designs, tips, pitfalls to avoid, etc.? I’ve done some googling and a walk around table style like
this seems like it would be really practical. But at the same time more of a wall bench style like
this seems handy for other types of jobs and tools organization. I’m definitely thinking basic construction. No fancy joints yet.
Tools Storage & Organization
Workbench with drawers and pegboard backing like
this or a more standard tool chest like
this?
Power Tools
My plan is to just put sales alerts into the Canadian Tire app and buy as things come up 50%+ off. I’ve only got a drill, jigsaw, and sander. What should my first purchase be, especially considering I want to build a work bench? I’m thinking mitre saw or circular saw? Also, what about corded vs cordless and if cordless do I really want to stick to one brand with a common battery?
