A pretty small drill press that covers the vast majority of use cases.
Really good solder station, digital temperature read out is a big plus.
It can't handle huge boards but is really handy to adjust the thickness of smaller ones.
Great for curves and with the riser you can resaw to save on lumber.Great for curves and with the riser you can resaw to save on lumber.Great for curves and with the riser you can resaw to save on lumber.

Great all around router.
This was a step up from a construction style table saw. Has been great!
Great small microphone transmitter and receiver
Probably the most used tools after the table saw

Awesome boom arms! You can buy cheaper versions (like I have) but you will regret it after the first time you try to adjust it live.
Great miter saw! Love that is has a smaller footprint than typical miter saws
Awesome budget friendly diode laser engraver. Huge work area!
This is the main lens I use, great price for what you get.
Best bang for you buck if you are looking to print larger items.

This is a combination audio interface and external recorder. There are much cheaper options but Sound Devices is rock solid.
It took awhile to put together but man do I love using this thing. Pretty crazy when work is getting done and you can work on something else!
Awesome on camera microphone.
A great system to assemble furniture fast with pocket holes

Increase material thickness by 6 in and add a rotary kit to the Full Spectrum Muse Laser
This is my workhorse camera, nearly all videos since 2019 have been shot on it.
