Timber Framers Guild Forums General General Forum Questions fng-checking in with q's

so many tools, so little time!
but, the first frame i cut 'on my own' was with:

1 1/2" framing chisel
2" framing chisel
slick
stanley rabbet or carriage plane (open sides)
block plane
assorted eastern and western handsaws
sharpening stones

for power i used a circular saw and a makita drill.
when time got crunched i started using a router for housings... hated it, and would set up my noisy work for first thing after lunch, then finish the day working by hand.
