I have a tiny (about 10'x8' work area; everything must store in a 10'x3' space each night) workshop in my house that contains a bunch of power tools of widely varying quality (nice router/table, miserable table saw with nice blade, ok drill press, etc.)--all in benchtop sizes. I have mostly done small cabinets/bookshelves so far, but would like to get into nicer stuff as well as make the casework more precise.
I'm considering slowly acquiring a handful of reasonably nice hand tools which would complement the less elegant tools I currently use. I have some sense of what I need (plane, saw, marking gauge...) but no real idea as to the specifics of what I should get for maximum versatility as well as complementing the power tools I already have (block plane? tenon saw?), and really no idea at all what brands to get that would be in a reasonable price range (either used or new).
So...help? My priorities are versatility (I'd rather buy a few high quality tools than a set of cheap ones, but budget is pretty limited), complementing my existing tools, and size.
Thanks!
