Planer & router suggestions

[woodley45]

I have a pile of spare and excess wood that I want to play with and make into something, I still have to buy a bunch of stuff including a planer and a router so I'm really just taking it easy and as much as possible go cheap but with quality still. Any suggestions?

tools are an investment for me, I recommend you to choose quality over buying cheap ones. I go with Dewalt for most of my tools and have never disapointed

maybe start with something simple like small shelves or a basic stool, you don't need to go fancy though yunno, you can start with a picture frame or a small box. Focus on quality over quantity, and save the more complex stuff for when you're more comfortable.

Kick things off with some basic projects like cutting boards, shelves, or birdhouses. They're pretty simple to make and help you get some practice. When it comes to tools, look for used or refurbished planers and routers from trusted brands like DeWalt or Makita. They'll give you a good mix of price and quality. Just take your time, stay safe, and have fun with it

Okay, if you're still practicing, search up beginner friendly secondhands on eBay / FB marketplace. So in case you mess up like we all do at first, you've got no regrets. Good luck.
