Moto sana! I seriously considering retiring into this hustle soon. Thanks. Mesho imengara.

Hi,it's Ted

I often get asked by my students about what the minimal but usable tool set is.

Most of the time they want to know to help a friend or relative get into woodworking... without having to hand off a long and expensive shopping list.

And here’s my take on this…

The 6 Tools To Build Almost Anything

A great "starter pack" for serious woodworkers... which can allow you to build almost anything you want is:

1) Table saw
2) Cordless drill
3) 5" random orbit sander
4) Router
5) Tape measure
6) Combination square

That’s it.

Pretty simple right?

These 6 tools can build almost any project and will do just fine for small to medium sized projects.

It's great, especially for a beginner to try this hobby out.

Now, if you’re already a woodworker and you KNOW this hobby is for you… you’re going to want a better shop than this.

Some items you might add are:

1) Power Jointer & Thickness Planer
2) Circular Saw & Jigsaw
3) Some Japanese Saws

These tools would give you a much better shop… and expand your ability to create larger furniture and other high-value pieces.

Of course there is one major downside.

And that’s the fact that they take up space. A scarce thing for most of us.

In fact the other question I get asked a lot is how much space is needed to setup a shop.

My answer:

8x8 feet is plenty!

It’s takes some planning but you can fit a lot into a 8x8 space.

That is where Ralph's new guide, Ultimate Small Shop comes in

You'll discover how to setup the perfect shop in a small space

After decades of woodworking out of various home workshops, I’ve come to realize that to build your own woodworking sanctuary it’s not about space at all – it’s in the setup.

A lot of it comes down to choosing the right kinds of shop projects: designs that use floor space economically, help create a smooth workflow, and make organization a breeze.

And in Ultimate Small Shop, Ralph will walk you through shop projects to build, how to implement design principles for a small shop...

Now even better is his guide to discounted tools (including where you can buy them at the lowest cost!)

He has gotten a lot of good feedback from folks about how it has helped them finally setup a shop they can be proud of.

So watch his video here now

He also talks about the top 3 mistakes made when setting up shop and how you can avoid them.

There's lots of stuff he teaches in the video, you're gonna love it.

To amazing small workshops.


Now go start your side hustle.
