A pair of Clamps (or more) to block the wood parts during the wood cutting phase – and also later on.This cheap hole saw kit is not the best BOSCH product I’ve ever seen, yet it did a fair job. If you don’t like the hole saws you can also use a Forstner Drill set, but they’re way more expensive and they also produce an insane amount of sawdust. I got this set from Bosch which had all the required sizes and performed quite well. You’ll need these (or something like that) to make the holes for the joystick controller (19mm), buttons (25 & 29mm, depending on the joystick set you picked), for the stereo speakers (44mm) and for the back-side door (51mm). Nothing fancy here, you’ll just have to do some guiding holes for the screws and the hole saws.Ī standard drill with some assorted wood bits will be more than enough. The Makita 4351FCT in all its 45-degree cutting might: definitely a recommended jigsaw for these kind of projects! Also, make sure to get at least one 1mm saw blade for wood as well (preferably two). I used a Makita 4351FCT, which is arguably the best semi-professional jigsaw you can get for under 200$, but almost any jigsaw will be able to do the job, as long as it can do 45-55 degrees cuts. That said, here’s the list of the required tools for putting our project into life: The screws are materials, while the screwdriver is a tool the wood is material, the jigsaw is a tool the paint and primer are materials, while the brushes are tools and so on. Before starting with the list, it’s important to understand the main difference between Raw Materials and Tools: to put it in short words, we’ll call raw materials the building parts what will become part of the cabinet, and tools the equipment that we’ll use to craft it – and that we’ll be able to use for other projects later on (unless we break them). To build the Bartop you’ll need a fair amount of DIY tools: in the first part of this post we’ll briefly introduce the most important of them, leaving aside the obvious stuff – such as screwdrivers, hammers, sandpaper, brushes and so on. In the first part of this post we’ll enumerate all the required tools we need to fullfill our task: once done, we’ll dive into designing and prototyping our cabinet.
