Beginner Hand Tools | Carpentry

These 14 hand tools are what I personally use and have used for over 20 years as a carpenter. These are 100% my opinion , but when they work, they work! I hope this video gets you moving in the right direction.

I wish all videos were like that. straight to the point, no unnecessary details. Thanks!

I love how the video is short and in point. No abundant unnecessary things to make a 3:49 minute video into a +17 min.

This is a great video with the perfect tool list. I just retired this past year after 44 years in carpentry, and I've carried your exact list of tools in my nail bags for at least the last 40 years. I prefer an Estwing hammer too, and I don't have elbow or shoulder problems, and for many years, we drove all the nails in a house or barn with our Estwing hammers not nail guns or high dollar titanium hammers.

This guy is the bomb. I have all of these tools- but then again, I have probably a hundred or more accumulated over the years and most recently a huge construction/renovation project; I feel like I’m always looking for the right tool for something but can’t ever find it! I realize this is more of an organizational/personal problem, but the point is it is so nice to have this “quick guide” to pick which ones to keep handy in my tool belt/bag. I happen to agree, these are the ones I always end up needing the most. This channel is definitely worth subscribing to and following- I love the way he explains things for some reason. It’s simple but not mind-numbingly so, and it doesn’t feel like I just wasted 15 or more minutes of my life trying to find one point or tip. It bugs the crap out of me when people in videos repeat themselves over and over and/or take forever to get to what the title of the video implies they will be demonstrating or talking about. Maybe those are preferable/helpful for some folks, but for someone with an existing working knowledge of general woodworking/tools and just needs tips or clarification here and there, this guy is where it’s at! Thanks so much!

Love the ease with which you present yourself. it is truly "easy listening".Also It is obvious you know your stuff as you have no dead spots, and you are very informative about many trade skills.

I'd love a video about some terms that are used, like what is a reveal, a return, a bead, etc. I watch so many videos that use the terms and sometimes I'm confused about exactly what it is referring to. thanks!!

Jusst getting started. I figure since it’s difficult to find a great one I need to learn all I can as a Realtor and Investor

[raheelbaber]

Thank you for such an amazing and helpful video, it solved a very basic problem for me as to which tools I should own first to begin as DIY wood worker.

I love your words.. "God Willing" .. :)

my oh my you do have the perfect Hammer just like the one I used for 40 years on the jobs and still use it these days ... unless you plan to work on a construction site in Michigan ! They BANNED the use of straight claw hammers due to too many getting hurt using them ! A Tajima fine line caulk line is best for a sweetly snapped line

[irmaztamal]

I want to learn carpentery as a hobby. But I like my manicure too. So this hobby is going to be challenging 😜

Starting in a week's time and they gave me a bunch of tools, already own better versions of most of them but they gave me a pack of screwdrivers. I don't wanna be messing round trying to find the right size so I've got myself a wera screwdriver with built in storage. By far the nicest tool I own and can see it being a tool that will last me. More than happy to have paid the £40 for such a tool
