Good Guy asked:

Excluding the price of power tools, but including the price of wood, and nails, screws, glue, sand paper, paint, etc.

As reference, I can get a 5 shelf bookcase for $74.99 or 4 shelf bookcase for $57.64.
How much would it cost to make a 5 or 4 shelf bookcase?

Novice repair tech here who’s tired of turning micro screwdrivers. I use very small phillips head and occasionally flat head screw drivers. What is the best power tool setup that can replace these. Needless to say screws are very small.

THx in advance!
