Whenever my Birthday rolls around each year, I can RARELY think of what I want??
My husband always begs to tell him what he should get me,
but all I usually want is some sort of decoration/home improvement item for the house.
He told me this year that I'm not allowed to get anything for the house...
I have to think of something I want for ME:)
I thought a lot about it and decided I want a SAW!
He was quite surprised when I told him & asked what in the world I was going to do with a saw???
I told him, "Make stuff !"
He said, "What in the world are you going to make?"
I said, "Just stuff...you know, cute, crafty things."
He said, "Whatever. I'm just glad you actually want something for you!"
Little does he know, everything I want to make will actually go IN THE HOUSE ;)
So...HOPEFULLY my husband is going to get me a saw next week!
Any suggestions on the saw/power tool you use MOST in your home for Home Improvement projects or Crafty Decor???
I'm THINKING I want a jigsaw, but any advice would be GREAT!
At our house, we have a table saw, a jig saw, and a meiter saw. The table saw scares the livin daylights out of me so I don't use it ever! I recently got brave enough to use the meiter saw(chop saw) and the jig saw. I find them both very useful. For crafting
ReplyDeleteI use both. The chop saw is great for cutting 2x4s and the jig saw is great for smaller more detailed cuts. For general home improvement, I would say the chop saw. They are pricey though! Good for you that you actually were able to think of something. I usually can't either!
I have most of the saws one could need. I think a miter saw would be the best one to ask for as a present. They are pricier than a jig saw.
ReplyDeleteI use my miter saw and table saw the MOST. But if you get a miter saw, you can have larger pieces of plywood cut at the store (home depot).
However, when you're in the middle of a project, a miter saw is invaluable, especially if you want to do trim. (think crown molding)
I haven't bought anything at a pawn shop, but a jig saw might be a great pawn shop purchase.
good luck!

We have a miter, and a jig saw...next on my list, a table saw! AND, Happy Birthday!
ReplyDeleteOoh, I want one of those too. I want a lot of tools to make the things I see on knock-off wood.
