Looking for tool suggestions for a first time homeowner
Hello! I just bought my first house. Previously, I was traveling for work every 3-6 months for the past decade so I've never had a chance or reason to really acquire any tools. I have basic hand tools, some chisels, a drill, a couple levels, and thats about it. The tools i do have are ridgid brand- i know they arent high end but they get the job done pretty well for what ive needed them for so far.
With that said, I have some woodworking experience, mostly just doing stuff with my uncle in his garage. But I am not knowledgeable enough to know which tools are considered "essential" or what brands are considered decent (not trying to start a brand debate or anything).
Here are a few projects I plan on in the near future: making shelves (currently have 0 lol), making a TV/entertainment stand with cabinets on either side, bookshelves, adding a set of stairs to the backside of my deck, shed, replacing my MDF trim with hardwood (long term project).
I'm assuming ill need: table saw, band saw, miter saw, and a router? Maybe scroll saw? I dont plan to acquire these all at once and am ok with buying used if recommended, but just looking for enough to get me going. My first priorities would be shelves and the stairs for the deck! Thanks to anyone that can offer some guidance.
