I want to set up a little workshop in my basement for doing some basic woodwork and whatnot. I’d like to be able to build shelves and cabinets, decorative items, etc.
What are some recommendations on tools and accessories that I absolutely should have?
There are so many different types of saws I’m utterly confused. Which would be the most versatile?
Thanks.

I’ve been thinking about buying a set of power tools to use in carpentry applications (Im tired of borrowing my grandfathers). I’m in the process of remodeling my home and need a circular saw, a drill/screwgun and a recipricating saw. I saw the Milwaukee V28 set and it looks like just what I need. My grandfather who is a very experienced carpender tells me Milwaukee is a very good brand. Tell me what you think…..thanx.

I am planning on painting my bedroom with my father. We do not want to call the professionals, as it is too expensive for a job that we are capable of.

What tools should we acquire to mistake-proof the job?

Are there any specific techniques, methods, or steps we should follow for a flawless finish?

Any tips on getting the perfectly painted room?

Thank you!

I’ve been a builder ever since I got my hands on some Lego’s. The only place I have to build is in my Pop’s basement. The workbench is in extremely poor condition, tools are just flung around wherever, and just isn’t safe.
So, I’m wanting to turn my garage into a new workshop. What would I have to take into consideration to be able to do this?
(Not sure if it helps any, but I’m mainly looking into construction using wood materials to build furniture and mostly things of that sort, and also computer case modification so I can donate some of those cool computer cases with all those lights and whatnot to my previous school’s technology club.)

Much appreciated

It looks like my walls have vertical speed-bumps running floor-to-ceiling every 4′. I have much experience in sheet-rocking, etc, but this particular time I was greatly rushed, due to reasons I won’t bore anyone with, & of course - as should’ve been expected - it looks absolutely horrible. You wouldn’t believe the difference from the high-points to the ‘flat’ of the un-compounded part of the walls. Can all the semi-gloss paint & compound be removed down to the tape so I can start again? I don’t care about how much I have to rip everything up. I’ll do whatever it takes w/o actually taking down the sheet-rock itself. I have the tools, patience, & time, & need of this particular room is not critical. It’s so bad that if my walls were streets, your car would crash. The rest of the work I did in my house is perfect & I intend to do a perfect job the 2nd time around like I did the 1st time everywhere else.
The wall that I’m looking to fix is an adjoining/common wall to another room. Construction is wood beam spaced the usual 16″ apart.
Thanks very much.
Is there any sort of device or tool that will sand through paint though? I don’t care how much it would rough up or rip the wall up. I have 2 coats off eggshell over 2 coats of primer. I’ve found nothing that can break through paint.
