That is, if you use any at all. I am wrestling with having to go small, into the SW Florida garage I'll have when we move there. I have discussed in other threads here the situation with humidity and temperature, so this new thread is to address the kit of tools, bench, and storage for a small-footprint hobby.
So, unless you are a total samurai, and are completely off-grid, tell us what few minimum power tools make most sense to someone wanting to do modestly-sized projects, such as casework and furniture.
I own a bench I made, just like shown at this page. https://www.popularwoodworking.com/p...-box-workbench. It is a heavy monster and has served me well for almost 20 years. I'd like to take it and have it be the main piece in my small space.
I own a cordless drill and impact driver, and those have got to remain in the kit. I also have a Festool Domino 500 and the RO125 5" sander plus the vacuum that connects to anything Festool. Everything I've made since I got these two tools three years ago has been done using them, so they're keepers.
So what else? I sold the planer, the jointer, and the bandsaw yesterday, and the contractor-style tablesaw is going to be sold, even if I need to reduce the price to almost nothing. There's simply no room.
I own a jigsaw, three routers, a small benchtop router table, a belt sander that's a wreck but works, a power planer, a biscuit joiner, and a circular saw dedicated to track-cutting, along with the track set. If I get clever with overhead storage in the small space I'll have, I think I'll have room to store these things for having when needed.
Oh, and clamps. I've a bunch but there will be plenty of wall space for hanging them out of the way.
