Hello all,
I've been looking at the list of tools recommended by the Vans site for RV7s. I already own about half of what is on the list. So, I was thinking that I would use the list to complete the missing pieces. Wouldn't this be cheaper? I would be very grateful for input as to whether this list is complete? I do want to get a belt sander, band saw, and drill press. However, what else would you any of you recommend (if at all) adding or subtracting from the list. I would like to ward off the infamous incremental trips to the hardware store for that 'one little thing'. I do love the hardware stores. But I also like to stay in the ?groove? when on a project. Below is the list at Vans.
Appreciate any suggestions.
Cheers
