For power tools, I have two sanders, a circular saw, and a drill. On my first build I used hand saws. I do have a couple of chisels.

I looked up finger joints and that seems doable, practicing on some old wood. I should probably get the minimum kind of power saw.

Thanks!

Thanks for being the first to welcome me to CBG. I hope to be on here more in less than 6 months when I retire.

Take care,

In about 120 working days, I hope to be retired and I really want to do something fun ... like build a CBG!

I have a few builds that will be starting this weekend and will be trying a few options...oak neck, maple neck, thru-body (no tailpiece), hinge tailpiece, etc. Will be making stomp boxes as well from smaller boxes. Started to gather up some boxes and am guessing the shelves in the shop will soon be overtaken by boxes.
