Re: The Right Tool for the Job

The most important tool investment you cam make is to improve the one between your ears. Attend seminars, watch the online videos, take classes. Learn the purpose of tools, how to adjust them, how to maintain them, and how to use them.

I grew up with my father's Shopsmith, which I still have and use. I had a Craftsman Radial Arm Saw, which I sold because of the crooked crosscut syndrome. I worked in a cabinet shop when I was in college and learned to use power tools to do everything. 40 years later, I've finally purchased a few premium hand tools and I'm learning to use them correctly. Now I make more shavings than dust and enjoy it more.

Don't buy anything because it's cheap. That's all it is.

Enjoy.
