Great results without a big spend.

You don't need expensive tools or wood to make good things.

Ideas

  • Borrow tools from a library tool lending program or friends
  • Join a makerspace to use bigger tools with training
  • Buy wood for one project at a time
  • Use cutoffs for small projects
  • Buy good used hand tools and sharpen them

General information. Follow your tool manuals and wear eye and hearing protection. Little Birch Living isn't paid by any tool brand or store.
