Ready to get started with woodworking, but not sure what tools you need? Whether you're interested in working with wood as an enjoyable hobby or looking to develop a rewarding career, having the right tools is an essential first step to any project. Here are the basic tools that every beginning carpenter should have and know how to use properly. http://patterns-for-woodworking.com


You'll never be able to make even the easiest woodworking project without using measuring tools like tape measures, rules and squares. You've surely heard the old saying "Measure twice and cut once", and once you actually start working with wood you'll quickly learn how true this is. http://patterns-for-woodworking.com


Tape measures are essential for making quick, accurate measurements, while squares and rules allow you to properly align joints and mark pieces for cutting. To put it simply, when you're working with wood there's just no substitute for good measuring tools. http://patterns-for-woodworking.com


Levels and plumbs are another set of tools you must learn how to use properly for professional results. Levels and plumbs allow you to make sure wood pieces are fitting properly and are flat or form the correct angles for easy joining. http://patterns-for-woodworking.com


And plumbs also help you make awkward measurements on your pieces by using gravity as a point of reference so you can draw lines that are truly straight.

Chisels are some of the first tools that were ever used, and they're still an essential part of your toolbox today. You'll definitely want to build up a good selection of chisels for cutting, shaping and cleaning up rough edges or joints on your woodworking projects. http://patterns-for-woodworking.com
