My Must-Have List of Tools for Woodworking

I’m grateful to have a well stocked shop these days with some of the best woodworking tools out there. It hasn’t always been that way.

The first workshop I had was in a cold, damp basement in upstate New York. I had had very few tools and the ones I had were mostly hand-me-down odds and ends and my trusty circular saw.

Over time and working hard I’ve been able to replace and upgrade the old tools I started with. Listed below are the the favorite tools I use on a regular basis, which make my work better, faster and easier to do.

Glue stains and squeeze out are a pain in the neck on wood. No matter how much I try to clean it up by wiping it with a wet rag, it always shows up when I stain my projects.
Enter the @MilwaukeeTool MILWAUKEEM12 FUEL 12-Volt Lithium-Ion Brushless Cordless Orbital Detail Sander. I was amazed how well it worked with little effort. I actually applied the finish after sanding and no glue marks.

Great Edge and Corner Sander

Bayne Custom Woodworking November 25, 2024 3:28 pm

I received an email from a client asking if I could make 4 barstools of out some of his old baseball mlb bats.

I attempt to discuss and show the process I went through to build these stools.
The holes are drilled at 11 degrees with my drill press. The bats are cut at the same angle.
I allowed the bats to protrude through the seats and then used a pull saw to flush trim them.
I created a blog explaining as much of the process as possible on my website. That blog will be posted shortly.

CORRECTION -- at the 2:00 mark I mention that I needed an 11* cut, so I had to angle my blade to 89*. I meant to say 79* -- Thanks to Mike @4-6-3DP for catching that.
