RC-advert

I want to make a 1-2" cushion for a bench with leather-like material and would like to use furniture nails for tufting/decoration.


for a simple bench cushion... I would use staples myself... stapled underneath frame and as hidden as possible.

What do i need to make some basic furniture like a wooden bench or picture frames, little boxes etc?
furn-bench

What i mean is for example what kind of saw for wooden things, sander, drill? and where do i buy them? I am looking for the cheapest ones since it will be only for hobby. any help what to buy before starting to do anything?


I think you can make just about anything with a drill, circular saw and a router if you know how to use them and know how to make a couple of simple jigs.
I would caution you about getting the cheapest tools you can find though. Cheap tools tend to break easily, and can hurt you. They also tend to be underpowered, and may not cut straight. You don't need professional quality stuff. Expect to pay about $60 for a decent drill, $80 for the saw, and $80 to $100 for the router. You will also need good bits and blades. Buy a decent set of drill bits, about $30. Buy one or two good blades for your saw (type of blade depends on what you plan on cutting, maybe a combination blade and a laminate blade), and buy individual router bits for the specific profile you want to cut (may be a 1/4" round over and a 1/4" chamfer to start). Cheep router bits, especially in a set, will burn the wood. You will also need a good extension cord (worth its weight in gold).
When I was first getting started on making stuff I had these three power tools (and a palm sander), as well as my hand tools. I was able to build furniture, make kitchen cabinet doors, and build a small boat.
The key to using these power tools is making jigs, which you can now find plans for on line.
For example: http://www.toolcrib.com/blog/2009/03/17/ 14-circular-saw-jig-plans-crosscut-jigs- ripping-jigs-and-more/
I have bought power tools before at Amazon.com (dewalt and porter cable brands). You can also go to Lowes or Home Depot to find half way decent starter tools. Stay away from Craftsman power tools (i.e. cheap Crapsman). I have a grave yard of Craftsman power tools and yard equipment.

    • Fractured Furniture - The Fault Line Bench by Cameron Van Dyke ...

    With all the earthquakes shaking up the world of late, it seems inappropriate to feature trivial furniture with earthquake connotations—for example, the Fault Line Bench. Nevertheless, in light of such tragedies, life still goes on and amazing work continues to be created.

    Designed by Cameron Van Dyke, the Fault Line Bench takes on a simple yet jagged shape that is at once both eye-catching and subtle.

    “A puzzle of interlocking Ipe plates,” according to Van Dyke, it doesn’t seem to have any faults except for the reference in its name.
