You don't need all the tools in the world to get started. But you need some.

Just about any furniture maker will tell you that it's hard to have too many tools. This is probably true becau the people have a deep appreciation for just how uful t
ools can be. The right one for the job can make any task easier, quicker and very often safer. Over the years a successful artisan can accumulate a truly astounding quantity of equipment and supplies. Each is important, or at least was at one time, and therefore difficult to leave behind. If you're a professional this makes perfect n. But for the beginner such conspicuous consumption can be a real mistake. Why devote so many resources up front to something you're trying for the first time?
就像很多家具制作者会告诉你的那样，工具永远不嫌多。这很可能是对的，因为他们都深刻体会到了工具的用处。选对工具可以让工作更容易、快捷，通常也更安全。一个成功的手艺人经过几年的积累可以攒下惊人数量的工具。每样工具都很重要，或者说至少曾经在某个时段他们很重要，所以很难舍弃。如果你是个专业人员，准备好齐全的工具意义重大。但对新手而言，买齐全部装备显然是一个错误，谁会在一个只是准备尝试涉足的领域投入过多资源呢？
A better idea is to buy a basic assortment of woodworking tools like the one shown
here. With the tools you can build just about any straightforward furniture piece and leave the extra room under your credit limit for other things. This is not to say that tool manufacturers are giving their wares away. For the full complement shown, expect to pay around $800, depending on the quality of the individual items. This is a lot of money. But it's also a lot of capability.
一个更好的主意是买一套基本的木工工具，如上图所示。有了这些工具，你就能制作几乎任何简单的家具，而且不会让你刷爆信用卡。当然，这并不是说工具制造商会把工具白送给你，对于这样一套工具，大概需要花800美元左右，具体取决于每样工具的质量。这是一笔不小的开支，但他将带来很多功用。
去野餐When shopping, it's a good idea to buy the best tool you can afford in any category. Do keep in mind that price may not always be the best indicator of quality, but it usually is. Cheap tools often have a much shorter life, and are typically less accurate and frequently more dangerous to u than their premium brothers and sisters. Also remember that although some of the tools are fairly sp
ecialized, most of them can be ud for general repair chores around the hou. So even if you leave the world of furniture making behind, your investment in the tools will reap benefits for years to come.
在采购时，最好在挑每一类工具时都尽量选你能负担的起的最贵的那种。记住，也许不总是一分钱一分货，但通常都是这样。便宜型号的工具比起那些更高级的型号通常寿命更短、更不精确而且经常也更危险。也请记住，虽然有些工具是很专业化的，但他们也能被用于家居日常的修理工作。所以即便不玩木头了，这些投资在未来数年里仍会发挥效益。
海洋量子号好奇心理Of cour, this tool lection is abbreviated on many fronts. For example, we haven't prented some common tools that most people already have around the hou. The include a 16-ounce claw hammer, a heavy-duty, 25-ft. grounded extension cord, an assortment of flat and Phillips screwdrivers, a tape measure, safety glass and hearing protectors. We also assume that most people have some kind of workbench or worktable that can be ud for support. If you don't, a convenient and economical option is a folding Workmate. The units cost about $
90. They not only provide sturdy support but also boast movable clamping jaws that can hold just about anything curely in place.
当然，所列举的这些工具是在很多前提之下简化而来的。比如，我们没有列出那些一般人家里都有的普通工具。这些普通工具包括一支16盎司重的羊角锤，一个大负荷的25英尺长带接地的插线板，各种平头螺钉和一把飞利浦电螺丝刀，一个卷尺，护目镜和降噪耳塞。我们还假定大多数人可以找到某种工作台或工作桌可以用来支撑木料。如果你没有，一个方便和经济的选择就是买个折叠Workmate。这东西大概要花90美元，它不但能提供牢靠的支撑，而且还声称能提供活动夹钳，可以把任何东西牢牢固定住。
电蚊香液*an assortment of flat译为各种平头螺钉不知道是否正确，按上下文意思臆测的。如有谬误，请指正。
*Workmate就是那种小型的可折叠工作台，如下图：

A circular saw is a versatile tool for both rough and finish cutting. The saw consist
s of a horizontally mounted motor that drives a 71/4-in.-dia. blade. The depth of the cut, as well as the bevel angle, are adjustable. Many saws come equipped with an accessory rip guide, but if yours doesn't you should buy one. Also, outfit your saw with a carbide-tipped, thin-kerf blade. This will cut at least 10 times as long as a steel blade before requiring sharpening. And it reduces the load on the saw motor and wastes less stock to sawdust. This is the first tool to pick up for both crosscutting (perpendicular to the grain) and ripping (cutting parallel to the grain) solid stock as well as for sizing manufactured panels. The spinning saw blade enters the bottom side of the workpiece, which can result in chip-out on the top surface. Plan your cuts so that the good side of your material faces down during cutting. (Approximate price $130.)
