Nice. How big is it?
What if You Don't Have a Table Saw?
It's easy in the woodworking community to think of pretty much everything in terms of what we can do with a table saw. But what if you don't have one? I did woodworking for years without one, mostly because I didn't have the money to invest in a table saw. Well, the good news is, you can do just about anything with a circular saw and a few jigs, that you can do with a table saw. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U_m1A3Np01A

Happy New Year, Agnes. Let's make this a year of sawdust.
Least used tool
My least used tool is an old brace and bit hand drill. This was my dad’s (and I think my grandpa’s before him). It is always hanging on the wall but I can’t remember the last time I used it!

I have a few of them as well. You might have seen them hanging on the wall behind me in one video or another. But I bought those to hang on the wall, not to use. I don't even have any bits for them.
What’s Your Least Used Tool (but You Still Keep Around)?
It's my portable electric planer. I bought it with the thought that I'd never need a full size surface planer and I could also use it in place of hand planers. It either takes off too much or nothing at all. I hate it. It's been 2 years and it's just sitting there collecting dust. Especially since I now have a jointer and a 12.5 inch surface planer.

As far as I'm concerned a handheld electric planer is a carpentry tool, not a woodworking tool. I have one as well, and the only time I've used it is on carpentry projects at my mother-in-law's house. Come to think of it, that's when I bought it, on one of those carpentry projects.
