(Part 2) Reddit mentions: The best power drill chucks

You said hand tools .do you mean hand tools or hand power tools? But I’ll give you my list of things you should pick up if you have a minimal amount of space. keep in mind that you will need to develop a lot of skill to make up for not being able to rely on things like fences.
I will also try to give you tools that do multiple things so that will cut down on space

A dremel or similar tool - every one who does any kind of making or creating should have one. with the amount of bits you can put in there to do things they are very useful

A worx axis saw - this is a battery operated saw that will cover most saws for you. You can use it as a jigsaw or a reciprocating saw. It takes both kinds of blades. I have this tool and I love it it’s so useful

https://www.worx.com/power-tools/saws/20v-axis-recip-jig-saw-wx550l.html

A circular saw- a circular saw can do everything that a miter saw or a table saw can do it just takes a bit of practice. If your trying to do straight cuts then this is what you want

A cordless impact driver - and only a cordless impact driver. Some people say that they prefer to have a driver and a drill because they think that the drivers Chuck is limiting to them . It’s not limiting if you buy the Chuck attachment on amazon so it covers both tools
I don’t have a recommendation for drivers but if you want a cheap one go for the harbor freight one
Here’s a good attachment I was talking about


Neiko 20754A 3/8" Drill Chuck with 1/4" Quick Change Hex Shank | Convert Impact Driver and Wrench to Drill https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0051AE85W/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_-cPXDbT1M8D3T

A router - you said you wanted fancy routers will help you do fancy.
The bits that can go into these things can accomplish quite a lot from edges to cutting to shaping to jointing

That I would say is the bare minimum that could cover a wide range of things but extra power tools that would help are
A belt sander ,palm sander an electric hand planner or a

Now for the hand tools you should get. I’ll try to keep this as organized as I can.

Measuring and layout
Speed square-use full for quick angles. Read up on how to use one they are surprisingly versatile
Combination square- very nice for a 90 degree or 45 degree line. The blade is also adjustable so you can mark a line from an edge at a set distance
Sliding t bevel - nice for angels but that’s about it
Carpenters square or framing square- it’s those big l shaped squares that you see in stores. I learned from the old school craftsman on this one, and they used this to lay out rafters,stairs ,straight lines , circles ovals you name it . Also get yourself some stair gauges to go with this one you’ll thank me
Tape measure- of course
Level - of course

Shaping
Files - get a two cut and a rasp of each variety (rat tail ,flat , half moon )and you should be fine or just get one of the 4 in ones if you wanna cut down on something

Chisels - wonderful tools ,get a good couple sizes. You can also buy a cheap general pack to start with and see what you need from there. Keep them sharp and remember that if you flip the chisel over you can accomplish something different

Spoke shave - a bit extra but still worth is since you said you wanted to do chairs


Cutting
Japanese pull saw - has both a coarse and fine blade and flexible for flush cuts

Coping saw - nice if your adding trim or just trying to get that really tiny precise cut


Bits
Spade bits - cheap and come in many sizes . Also once you see the tip come out the one side pull out and start the drill again from the other side so you don’t blow out the hole
Twist bits - cheap comes in many sizes especially smaller
Driver bit set - useful for dealing with screws and such
Plug cutters - useful for hiding screws
Counter sunk bits - useful for keeping screws flush or just flush below the surface

Finishing
Sand paper - get every grit you can and when you sand,sand the daylights out of it !!! That always helps . Also look up wet sanding. I’ve made a wooden mirror with wet sanding. And remember to climb your grit ladder

Sanding block - so you don’t hurt your hands sanding


Misc

Hammer- self explanatory for putting in nails

Tack hammer - used for tiny nails or for tiny areas

Dead blow hammer - put pieces into place without damaging or marring your piece

Clamps - you can never have enough clamps


And that’s my list I hope it helps you with what you’re doing. I hope the chairs turn out well

Yes they do https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01N7K3S5U/ref=cm_sw_r_em_apa_X5mJAb8REWEYW

For ease of washing get one of these: http://www.amazon.com/Eazypower-30167-40-Inch-Flexible-Extension/dp/B0009XAFXU

There are several listed on Amazon, for example this: https://www.amazon.com/PSI-Woodworking-TM21-Diameter-Drill/dp/B01N3YU1TT/ref=sr_1_3?keywords=morse+taper+1+drill+chuck&qid=1563500373&s=hi&sr=1-3

Good call on the teflon tape, caulk / gun (learn the differences between latex and silicon) and shop-vac.

I was indecisive on the dremel b/c it is not often I've needed to use it and a drill can basically use most of the dremel attachments, right?

Could you also point to a SPECIFIC corded impact driver? For whatever reason when I go to the store I always end up confused after seeing all the drill / driver marketing materials.

I have probably this one: http://www.amazon.com/DEWALT-D21008K-Heavy-Duty-8-Inch-Keyless/dp/B00006JSPI/ref=sr_1_6 ... and it works well, but I'm forever running into issues when trying to do things a bit more heavy duty.

it came with this drill chuck https://www.amazon.com/Neiko-20754A-Change-Convert-Impact/dp/B0051AE85W but Both Milwaukee and Dewalt have their own version. https://www.amazon.com/DEWALT-DW2298-2-Inch-Square-Adaptor/dp/B001BZ9YZU/ https://www.amazon.com/Milwaukee-48-03-4410-Shockwave-2-Inch-Adapter/dp/B002KKBBR4

Burrs

If you want to pay money, couldn't you just buy a universal chuck?

Understood. I used a dremmel with a burr set like these:
https://www.amazon.com/Tungsten-Wood-working-Polishing-Engraving-Drilling/dp/B076D4Z8LX/ref=sr_1_3?keywords=dremel+burr&qid=1562334018&s=gateway&sr=8-3


and a 3d-printed guide to clip mine, then did some clean-up with a file. It's a pain in the ass and I totally understand not doing it, especially if you're already happy with the performance.

I haven't done this myself but I've seen some people replace the chuck on their M12 Fuel with this Rohm chuck. The chuck seems to be a common complaint.

Makita has one at Home Depot for 20$.

I also bought a big Bosch one for an sds for drilling big nasty holes in steel boxes.

You bought a drill with a shitty 1/4 inch hex chuck. What you should have bought is a drill with a real drill chuck. You can buy something like this http://amzn.com/B0051AE85W but its going to suck if you ever need to drill a real hole with a larger bit.
