What equipment do I need to make custom plaques?

Good quality tools and blades are important. Sharpness of blades and router bits help assure well-defined and smooth edges. The toolbox should include:

• Table saw
• Jig saw
• Planer – a tool that may be needed for specific projects
• Router
• Sanders – both a belt and finishing sander are useful
• Stains and clear coat finishes
