I love projects around the house

They make the best excuses to go out and buy new tools

I'll let the pictures do most of the talking

Mitre Saw

Table Saw

And where theres saws, there must be saw blades

Picked up the skilsaw for like $ 49 brand new!

Sander was free with the purchase of a mitre saw, air nailer was not.

I picked this up a while ago, never posted pics tho.

New batteries for the 6 yr old drill

And of course, fresh chisels. Buck Bro's, still Made in the USA

Now, time to finish the Oak stairs

Whatcha building?

Oh wait, stairs.
Nice job on the new tools. I'd love to have more woodworking tools but I don't really have the room and I hate saw dust. I do all my cutting in the driveway but it's a pain coming back into the shop or if it's raining.

I'm redoing all 36 stairs in Oak, and the landings and hallways in Hardwood.
I hate sawdust too, but a shopvac makes cleanup quick!

and the left over oak strips burn nicely in the fireplace

Sorry to hijack, but how do you like those Buck Bros. chisels? I have a set of Craftsmans and they took quite a bit of time on the stones to get to where they would produce an acceptable cut. I would love to get some Lie-Nielsens or old Stanley 750s, but until I am a bit more proficient, I am just trying to find something affordable that will get the job done with decent results.

For the price, i love them. They are relatively sharp straight out of the packaging, a minute on the fine side of the stone and your golden. Only $ 20 at Home Depot. I have two sets One for finish work and one for general use.

But then again, im no professional carpenter, just a 21 yr old college student.
