Must Tools for Finish Carpentry and for the
DIY Finish Carpenter
By: Mark J.

If a DIY homeowner really wants to do a quality job installing
baseboard trim and window casings a finish nail gun, with compressor,
and a powered Miter saw are a must. The use of Hammer and finish nails,
and a Miter box are acceptable for the very minor job, but if quality and
efficiency are desired then push them aside. When selecting a compressor determine what projects you may
eventually want to use a nail gun on. If you want to do more than finish
carpentry, I would recommend a compressor of 150 psi and at least 16 gallons.

If you only plan on doing finish carpentry work, then you can probably get away
with a 150 psi/4 gallon unit. Just remember however, that the larger the air capacity, the less frequently the compressor will be
turning on, thus preserving the life of the compressor motor and your ears.

Regarding the nail gun, there is a different one for each
project you could conceive of: e.g. Finish work, Framing, Decking, Roofing.
Likewise on the Miter saw. Don’t skimp if you expect to do
more than finish work with it. Get one that supports at least a 10” blade and
preferably bigger. Many of the latest models have laser guides. These are real
handy for getting accurate cuts.

In addition to the nail gun, compressor, and Miter saw, a
Do-it-yourself homeowner
will also need a table saw, coping Saw, tape measure, Drill, Pliers, level, square, center punch, wood
filler, and a carpenter’s pencil. Also shims come in handy.
