What else will I need?
tools and equipment
You can get all the hand tools for this project that are mentioned here in my online tool shop. If you have done any of my other project kits then you probably already have most of the tools required. If you don't have any tools yet, I'd suggest getting Recommended Tool Set 2.
Included in Recommended Tool Set 2:
Small saw, with fine teeth and stiffening spine
Small hammer, somewhere around 115-200g
Either 18mm or 24mm chisel - must be sharp!
Japanese marking knife or Stanley knife
Square with measurements along the blade in mm
10mm diameter countersink (snail/de-burring type)
Awl, for easy marking of accurate points to drill
Mallet - a small wooden or 400g plastic one
300mm steel rule for accurate marking
4 x 200mm capacity clamps (smaller ones will work)
You'll also need:
Wood glue - I use Titebond 3, available in my tool shopÂ
Cordless drill (correct drill are bits included with your kit)
Pozidrive size two screwdriver OR
Screwdriver bit and holder to go in your drill
Gloves for handling the wood when it's hot
Oil for finishing. I used Rubio Monocoat pure oil
