Well, if you're talking power tools, everyone needs a bench grinder. Also, those drill sharpeners you see on t.v. would come in handy. I don't know how good those really are, but we have the industrial version at work, made by the same company, and they are fantastic. Bill

I usually scratch build and some are amazed at the few machine power tools in my work room. A bandsaw, floor mounted drill press, bench grinder and a 12" disc sander suffice quite well. A Dremel and 12V cordless hand drill are the only modern hand tools used. Have never felt the need for anything more. A good solid bench, a versatile, sturdy vise w/ outboard supports and many, many chisels, files, rasps and planes do the job. Whatever tools get the job done is the way to go, but haven't needed anymore than stated.....Fred

Same here! I use more hand tools than I thought I would. After 8 gun builds now I have no real use for all the power tools. Although I would not be without my DeWalt 5" palm sander.

Still not a bad deal to have the other stuff around to use on other jobs like cannon carriages.
