Miter Saw

Home Depot

It is shocking how many projects you can accomplish with just a miter saw. In fact, the only saw I used on my 12' farmhouse table was this exact saw.

I used to hate using an electric drill and now I don't know what I'd do without mine.

This gives you a smooth finish without leaving any marks from the sander.

Corner Sander

Home Depot

I use this sander for detail work, edges, and hard to reach spots.

Circular Saw.jpg

Circular Saw

Home Depot

This saw is perfect for cutting a straight edge on a table top where you've glued boards together. I prefer the corded one since the battery runs out quickly.

Brad Nailer

Home Depot

I honestly don't know how anyone got anything done before a nailer was invented. This one doesn't even need an air compressor.

Pocket Hole System.jpg

Pocket Hole System

Home Depot

Most woodworkers think pocket holes are the "joinery of the devil," but I love this thing for building furniture. It's great for beginners. 

Jig Saw.jpg

Jigsaw

Home Depot

This saw is perfect for cutting large curves or irregular shapes. I prefer the corded version since the battery runs out quickly.

Router

Home Depot

I had never heard of one of these, but now I can't live without it. I use my router to round edges and cut consistent grooves.

Table Saw.jpg

Table Saw

Home Depot

This is my scariest tool so be extra careful around this one. I use it to cut large stock to size and to cut angles. It can do cross cuts and rip cuts.

Scroll Saw.jpg

Scroll Saw

Home Depot

This small saw is great and so easy to use for a beginner. I use it for detailed cuts and dollhouse furniture.

Band Saw.jpg

Band Saw

Home Depot

This is another saw for cutting curves, and it works great at ripping thicker stock that you can't cut on your table saw.

Paintbrush.jpg

Paintbrush

Home Depot

I use this paintbrush for EVERYTHING. It's perfect for painting along edges to give you a crisp line, and it's comfortable to hold.

Old Barn Milk Paint Stain.jpg

Stain

Old Barn Milk Paint

I cannot say enough good things about this stain. Besides the gorgeous finish (my favorite is Weathered), it's water-based and has no odor.

Polycrylic.jpg

Polycrylic Sealer

Amazon

One of the questions I get asked the most is how I finish my furniture. I use this sealer in satin on any stained or painted surface. 

Polyurethane.jpg

Polyurethane Sealer

Home Depot

I use one coat of this triple thick sealer on stained furniture that gets a lot of use, like a table. It's a huge time saver.
