There are many tools you can use however the main ones you want are a cheap single speed drill for screwing in screws with epoxy gloves on, an orbital sander is must as is a table saw, a sliding compound mitre saw, a quality jigsaw, a quality belt sander, an air hacksaw and a good aircompressor is also extremely useful as is a file sander,

On the subject or air compressors i initially started off with a supercheap special, however this couldn’t keep up my air tools so I hooked it up to the 2 expired gas tanks, this was pretty awesome but only gave me an extra 5 or so minutes of useable time, so I went out and bought another one and ran them in series, this was heaps better but they still couldn’t quite keep up with my air tools so I went and bought another one, this was perfect… until we got the power bill of around 1400 dollars, it turns out that running 3 2.5 hp motors uses quite a bit of electricity, so I coughed up the cash and purchased a 3hp belt driven 3 cylinder compressor and it has run flawlessly for around 15 years now
