Hey Reader, I know Prime Day can get overwhelming really fast. There are so many deals, so many “limited time” banners, and so many things that look tempting… so I went back through the lists and pulled out the ones I would actually recommend. These are not random finds. These are tools I own, use, or would 100% recommend if you have been waiting for the right time to grab them. A few of my favorite Prime Day picks: HomeRight Paint Sprayer DeWalt impact/drill driverYou have probably seen me use these on repeat. They are some of the most-used tools in my shop. Worx Pegasus work table Kreg K4 Pocket Hole Jig Metabo HPT 10-Inch Single Bevel Compound Miter Saw Bosch Sander 3M Reusable Respirator You can see all of these here:
And you can browse all of my curated Prime Day lists here (I have also added a few kitchen and beauty items I use and love all the time):
👉🏼 One little reminder before you shop: only buy what you actually need or have been waiting for. A good deal is not a good deal if you did not need it in the first place. I will keep checking and updating the lists while the sale is live! Have a wonderful day! Anika PS: Prime Day runs through June 26, but deals can change or sell out before then. So if something you have been waiting for is on sale, this is a good time to check. |

Hi Reader, One of the most common questions I get is: “What tools do I actually need to start woodworking?” And the honest answer is… not nearly as many as the internet makes it seem. Overspending on tools you don’t need is the #1 mistake I see beginners make. It leads to "tool overwhelm," and that's exactly what I want to help you avoid. I put together a simple guide + video walking through the beginner tools I recommend and why they matter. I cover: The core tools beginners actually need...
