Building a small shed

[Howard]

This is an issue I see often, fellows that take on a project without the proper gear. The right tools make a slow demanding project a lot faster and easier. They often mean the difference between an ok job and truly professional finished product. I understand that most people don't have the need of a well stocked tool shed, but if you're going to tackle projects tougher than painting the bathroom, there are some tools that are a must have.
I absolutely hate trying to do a job without the right equipment at hand. Get your material, set up your gear, think through the steps, then get the job done.

Before you all beat me to death, I know my requirements are a lot different than most peoples, but I honestly believe a basic $1500 tool kit is a must for any weekend warrior. Good gear will last a homeowner for many years, and save you 20 times it's cost.

Or, you know, I could've just spent a bare minimum fee getting a few pieces cut to size for me. Honestly I think this "basic tool kit" doesn't need to include a chop saw. Miter saw maybe, definitely not a chop saw.

A miter saw with a carborundum wheel becomes a chop saw.

Again, my needs are vastly different than most of you here, but I can't imagine having to call a pro because I lack the most basic equipment.

It could be I'm just completely out of touch with the equipment needs of the average guy. I am admittedly a tool junkey, every time I set foot in my garage I'm reminded of that, but it sure makes life easy.
