I have a FireStorm, not a B&D, but from what I understand they're made by the same people, and probably the same thing. Mine looks exactly like this picture, anyway. I just wanted any table saw I could use to A) cut wood, and B) learn what was really important to me in a table saw, so when I spend a large chunk of money on a nice one, I get something that I'll be happy with. This fits the bill.

Another tool I already had, for some reason. Cuts wood. Not great, but a sunk cost, so I'll use it until I need better.

I didn't used to know there *were* different styles of drill bit, let alone what a "brad point" drill bit was. Oh, man, was it a revelation to pick up a set of brad points and start using them. They are the bee's knees for making holes in wood. I've set my HSS drill bits on a shelf near the door, where I occasionally mock them while tossing peanut shells. OK, that's a lie, I don't like peanuts.

Stuff to attach to the Dremel. Mmmm...Dremel.

I don't care to develop some sort of nasty woodworker's respiratory disease. I also have a stack of menacing tropical woods (cocobolo high on the list as a well-known sensitizer and all-around mean customer). Until I can get a Triton powered respirator, I've got this -- it's lightweight, easy to use, fits OK (little bit on the small side, but workable), and cheap enough.

Not the exact model, but close enough. I haven't got all day to cater to you people. Gloves are super handy (ha, ha) for protection, especially when you're recovering dubious wood. Also when working with exotic wood that sheds splinters that fester and lead to blood poisoning, which leads to death, which leads to being yelled at by the wife, and worse yet no more buying tools for the woodshop.

It's not great, but it's not bad, either. Lots cheaper than a 12" sliding compound dual-bevel Makita. Pretty sure I paid less at Home Depot than they're charging on Amazon, but I could be wrong about that.

This thing is handy for removing small bits of wood from various places. Frankly, if I could yet afford to buy real bench planes, I probably wouldn't have this, but I can't say that for sure. In any case, I *don't* have any real bench planes yet, so this comes in handy in lots of places.

Not exactly the set of palm carving tools I have, but Amazon doesn't have anything closer. Another super-de-duper fabulous deal I picked up. Been having fun with them :).

There are several "systems" for sharpening. I chose waterstones, and found them fairly easy to use. They make stuff sharp. All told, I've spent around $100 (granted, I'm good at finding sales...). I'd still like to pick up an 8000-grit stone and some honing paste, but it'll wait for a bit. I doubt I'm yet good enough for those to make a difference, anyway ;).

Goes with the waterstones. Probably don't quite need yet, but there you have it.

Vise grips are handy for lots of stuff. Pulling nails is high on the list, but it's a pretty full list.

This may not be high on most people's lists, but a large part of my wood supply is recovered wood from various sources, so I need a way to pry apart joints, remove nails, etc. My pry bar fits the bill nicely (along with a hammer and a pair of vice grips).

I've tried a wide variety of different clamps. So far, the Jorgensons are my favorites for heavy-duty clamping. I don't feel like messing with pipe clamps. These heavy-duty Jorgensons are easy to work with and are able to apply plenty of pressure for everything I've done so far and plan to do in the near future. Way cheaper than some of the alternatives, too.

Using my Incra to measure and mark helps counter a bit of natural slop. Also satisfies my obsessive streak, the one that REALLY LIKES to have a specific hole to mark in. Disclaimer: I am selling two of these, so you might feel like I have a conflict of interest. Actually, it's painful, but sanity dictates that I can only really justify owning a certain number of 18" Incra rules.

I was terribly disillusioned when I figured out that the combination square I was using wasn't *actually* square. I felt like a kid whose lollipop had been stolen, then ground into the gravel in front of me by the heel of a perversely cruel bully. I tried out a few different options, and the first truly square square that I found was the Crown Tools rosewood try square. Surprisingly useful.

Handy for angle-y work.

OK, not Starretts. A set of three generics I bought on clearance. They seem useful. Can't say for sure. Why? Well, for a time, I kept forgetting I own them. They were in a drawer. (The perils of ADHD.) I took them out of said drawer, so I could see them and remember to use them. This was a great idea, modulo the detail that I can't remember where I put them. They're useful, I imagine.

I have like four different kinds of wood glue, which is probably overkill. This is the one I use most often.
