50 Great Tools & Supplies for Your Shop whatever your project may be, Here are 50 of our favorite products to help get the job done By Chris Marshall Every die-hard woodworker knows that woodworking takes "stuff." A well-equipped shop includes a workbench, power and hand tools, gaggles of bits and blades, fasteners, clamps, adhesives and finishing supplies, personal safety items, a shop vac and a dust collector. Then there are those incidental items you'll eventually need — knobs and doodads for jig-making, lubricants and cleaners, storage bins and organizers, a moisture meter, tune up and calibration tools, accessories to enhance current tools, books, DVDs and other reference materials ... you get the picture. Sure, new tools and supplies can put a dent in the bank statement now and then, but their benefits can outweigh the cost. They really can help improve the accuracy and quality of your work, speed certain techniques along and ensure that you are protecting your health so you can enjoy this craft for a lifetime. The trick is knowing what to buy so you can shop wisely. At Woodworker's Journal we scour the trade shows and meet with suppliers to find the best new innovations for your hard-earned shop dollars. And, we're happy to report that there are lots of great new products worthy of your attention.
