1. Carpenter  pencils with printed ruler

You can never have too many pencils…and these carpenter pencils work double as hard with the printed rulers! Be sure to add in the sharpener too!

2. Silicone Glue brush set

I love this silicone brush set! It spreads glue well and the clean up is a breeze with the silicone.

3. Glue Applicator Kit

This is a great upgrade to the glue bottle. All the glue applicator attachments make applying glue uniform, easy and less messy!

4. Kreg’s Multi-mark multipurpose tool

This little multipurpose tool is AMAZING! It can measure so many configurations. It even has a built-in level. Ever since I got one of these, I use it all the time!

5.  Bench Cookies 

These bench cookies are used to elevate and hold a project off of a work surface without clamps. I use it when sanding, staining or painting. And more the better 🙂

6. Pipe clamps

This pipe clamp is super affordable and the best part is that there is no restriction in the size of the clamp because you buy the pipe that goes in it!

7. Ratchet Bar clamp

You will never hear a woodworker complaining of having too many clamps. This little ratchet bar clamp will be a great addition to any clamp collection.

8. Magnetic wristband

I have 2 of these and I absolutely love these magnetic wristbands! It makes building so much easier when you don’t have to keep reaching across your project for screws!

9. Small Port Vacuum hose kit

This is a life saver- literally! Huge dust collection systems can be very expensive but I love using this small port hose kit with my sander or BladeRunner X2 so I don’t have to breathe in any of the sawdust!

10. Kreg Cabinet hardware jig

Every woodworker builds cabinet doors or drawers. This cabinet hardware jig makes attaching the hardware a breeze! I use it all the time!

11. Digital protractor 

Why go old school when you can have a  digital protractor! It is used to measure angles between cuts of boards. I love the improved accuracy!

12. Fiskars Precision Hand Saw

I recently got this hand saw and it is so great for small quick cuts! It is super light and the handle has a great grip!

13.  Digital Angle Gauge

This little gadget measures angles  and can be used on blades of saws  – miter saw, table saw etc. Accuracy is always a woodworkers best friend!

14.  Circle Cutting Jig

This circle cutting  jig makes it super easy to cut circles with a router.

15. Ear Protection with built in bluetooth

This ear protection with bluetooth is a  great way to stream music or podcasts in the workshop and block out all the noisy tools at the same time for much needed ear protection.

16. GRR-RIPPER Push block 

Safety is most important with any power tool! This GRR-RIPPER push block protects hands while using a table saw.

17.  Corner clamping jig

One of the most important parts of building anything is making sure the project is square. This corner clamping jig makes it easy to get everything square. I use it all the time… especially while building drawers.

18. Firm Grip gloves

We have talked about ear and hand safety and these gloves are the perfect pair to keep fingers protected from all those splinters.

19.  One Board Projects book

Sometimes, they just need more inspiration and ideas. This book with one board projects is sure to get their imagination going!

20. T-shirts to wear in and out of the workshop

Every woodworker loves showing off their work and what they do!

The “I can make that” and the “Coffee and Sawdust” t-shirts are a reader favorite!

Take a look at more designs and get them T-shirts that they will love to wear and show off inside or outside the workshop!
