Hi All,

Just a quick note to say im new to woodworking, but done abit of DIY around the house, shelves, wood floors etc

At the moment, im looking to get a set of tools together, both hand tools ( chisels, marking tools squares etc) and power tools, I was thinking about getting a router to start with, and maybe a bench sander. I have a drill and jigsaw already.

I will be using half the garage for a workshop, as the other half is taken up with storing the usual rubbish.

I live in norwich, so if anyone lives local who could give me some tips would be great

Any advice given will be greatly appreciated.

welcome to the forum , and to the woodworking slope tony - my top tip , get rid of the rubbish in the tother half of the garage as however much workshop space you have you need more

Regarding tools, buy only when you need the tool for the job in hand and my added welcome.

Welcome Tony, but beware, the 'slope' is terminal!

Hello and welcome. Tony

A router's certainly useful but sawing would be your main concern. Particularly accurate ripping and cross-cutting. If space is limited think about a radial arm saw
