For tools it really depends what you want to make. If recommend you think about that first. I will say that the power tools at Canadian tire are usually not even worth the sale price. You're better off buying decent used tools on kijiji most of the time.

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? |
