What tools you need to build End Table

I just wanted to take a picture of tools I used to make Shaker End Table and was surprised to see how many tools I actually ended up use. And not all tools I used fit into one picture.

I have acquired these tools over time. Some of them I bought new, others – used. Both have pros and cons. It is always nice to buy a new tool and be the first one to use, however this pleasure comes with a higher cost. Now buying a used tool is always nice because typically you get them for a fraction of the price a new one would cost. However with that comes a drawback – tool can be old, near end of life or stop working altogether. Buying second handed hand tools will most likely require some TLC before you can use it to its full potential.

And so here is a list of tools I used for building Shaker End Table:
