Hi all,

I'm taking a break from stripping wallpaper and don't want to delve into the world of plastering/skimming/lining paper yet so going to start a new project.

I'd like to have a go at making this.

I picked up these heavy wood kitchen worktops for free (don't have a car so walked 2 miles with them and my forearms ached for a week) which I think will be suitable.

For tools I have:

• cheap mitre saw I got for free
  
• £36 Aldi drill and impact driver
  
• detail sander I got for free but the velcro is shot
  
• bunch of chisels and hand saws
  
• tape measures
  
• dust mask, safety glasses, earmuffs
  
• birthday coming up and Dad ordered me a circular saw (won't be expensive though)
  
  

obviously not the arsenal many have and don't have the budget to get too much but what else would you recommend?

I'm thinking

• a rafter square to use as a guide
  
• long spirit level
  
• eventually will need a router
  
• perhaps need to investigate the blades on the power saws
