It will be a little while longer before I can order additional tools, so I am getting going with what I have. Here is what I have colllected to get started:

First project is a saw bench. Spent the evening cutting 2x4 to length and gluing up the legs. Right now I don’t even have power to the shop and am running off flood lights and generator.

I put a brand new Stanley blade into the Handyman No4, and even with my novice sharpening skills it worked well at prepping 2 side of the 2x4s before glue up. I think sharpening frequency is more important than skill. The big box saw did okay, but really looking forward to something better - not looking forward to ripping the top with it...
