For smaller jobs, the author sets up a simple workstation built on a Centipede CK6S stand, which is easy to set up and break down and light to transport.
For smaller jobs, the author often brings what he needs from the truck in an Occidental carpenter case.
Tool rolls, such as the author’s chisel roll, are useful for grouping and carrying a set of tools, and they store efficiently in the drawers of a tool storage system.
A tool roll works well to organize a select number of the author's Japanese pulls saws.
The author keeps some “empty capacity” in his truck. One example is an empty Makita tote he has filled with a selection of what he needs for the task at hand.
For most jobs, the author leans on his “80% parachute bag” with the fasteners he uses 80% of the time: 2 1/2- and 3-inch GRK general purpose wood screws, 2 1/2- and 3-inch GRK trim-head screws, 1 1/4-inch Kreg pocket-hole screws, and 2 1/2-inch cabinet screws. Each kind of screw has a color-coded bit in a bit holder of the same color.
