If you're looking to get started in woodworking...This is a list of the basic tools you need to get you up and running. All the basics for cutting...assembling...and finishing a project. I've tried to keep this budget friendly, but I also included a few extra tools that are for those that have a bit bigger budget.

Tool #1: Quality Tape Measure

Dewalt 25' Tape Measure

Tool #2: Cordless 6-1/2'' Circular Saw
(I recommend getting a 6-1/2'' blade over 7-1/4''. A 6-1/2" circular saw is significantly cheaper than 7-1/4" while the max cut depth between the two is pretty similar.)
