if you’re just starting out, walking down the tool aisle at the hardware store could be incredibly intimidating (and expensive). But here is the honest truth. You only need a few basic tools to build 90% of beginner projects.

Start small. Master the basics. Let your skills dictate when it’s time to upgrade your tools. Not the other way around.
