"if you're installing a kitchen get a track saw" - Funnily enough, I just finished installing a kitchen, and bought a track saw for it. Worth every penny.

#1 Tool: Toasted sandwich press. Gotta have them warm toasted sandwiches on a cold winter's day. 🥳

As a cabinetmaker i can agree a track saw is well worth the investment. It saves so much time with scribing, and pays itself off with the amount that i use it. Couldn't imagine going without it now. Definitely recommend it

Thanks for the new episode, over 3 weeks in lock down now (UK House building) I have far too many tools for my job as a carpenter of 30+ years (and other trades tools ) what I actually use on site from cordless extractors, miter saws etc but when I'm at home doing a little 'DIY' I break out the old nobex hand mitre saw which is very accurate, and various hand tools, taking time to sharpen well, even saws as well as chisels and planes. May be for the weekend warrior, acquiring and learning how to use hand tools to make say a small storage box etc as these skills can easily be up scaled up and used to fit doors, kitchens or roofs as these are all elementary and it's having the eye for accuracy and detail, what makes a good tradesman. I'll have to have another lie down after that, keep it up.

Ah yes! And a truckload of pencils, or a great mechanical pencil.

Hung about 8 doors earlier this year and made good money.
Only needed a drill, chisels and a hammer. Along with the basic measuring tools. A friend was kind enough to lend a planer.

I wouldn't call myself Paul Sellers, but I got quite the confidence boost for doing a quality job with what I had.

As a carpenter - Best ever tool's that I got is my Dewalt Table saw - Cordless Makita track saw - Makita cordless drill combo and a Multi tool .

[JKnyp]

Great list! My favorite tool is my kreg jig k5. I love the pocket holes!

[jamiefoote]

Good to see you can still turn these out during lockdown!

[welshkid]

[dtbndtbn]

[HIT]

love the video's mate brings back memories of when my grandfather was pass on the knowledge that his father passed to him

[davidhull]

I think a track saw is indispensable these days. When I bought mine it transformed my woodworking. A mate of mine is a carpenter. He was so impressed by my ts55 that he went out and bought one straight away and now it's his most used tool next to his drill/impact driver.

Love your videos, Scott - keeping me sane(ish) in lockdown! I’m a keen DIYer and have to say I love my Dewalt tablesaw (DW745) and my Bosch starlock multi tool. Accuracy of the former’s fence and immediate attachment and release of the blades or sanding pad for the latter. Used to get so frustrated with the Allen key attachment for blades on my old multi tool. Keep the vids comming! H

[gordonclark]

I'm glad I have the tools that you recommend for weekend warriors. Even have a nail gun. One day I will use it!
