Tools and materials I propose:
In this video I show the essential tool set you need to start making simple DIY projects. These are the tools that helped me begin woodworking.
The first thing one should get is a set of really basic tools, such as screw drivers, pliers, wrench and a hammer. I think a really value for money choice is the IKEA tool set. I also think this is really useful to have in home for general purposes.
The second most useful tool is a cordless drill / screwdriver. I recommend you get a full set of drill bits so you can be able to drill through walls, wood and metal. You can use the screw driving bits from the IKEA set.
Next you will need something to cut. I recommend getting a circular saw and a speed square. Since in the beginning most people just do cross cuts to make boxes. You can also get a miter box and hand saw. A really useful and easy to use tool.
I suggest to get two classic screw clamps. Clamps are really useful and can be used in many ways. You will need to be able to hold things together for glue ups or for cutting.
A random orbit sander is the next thing in the list. Jus try to sand evenly in order to avoid creating peaks and valleys on your surfaces.
The most important tool you got is yourself. So protect your hands with gloves, your ears, your head and eyes and of course your lungs by using a respirator.
A basic set of tools is not that expensive but it can really help you begin making suff. As you continue on woodworking you will slowly acquire more tools depending on the projects you are working on.
Anyway, I hope you liked this one, because that was it. See you soon with a new project video!
