Marlene! I totally agree–jig saws are amazing!!! Rachel recommended in an earlier comment to check out Father’s Day sales for deals! Maybe you can score one then!!

Thanks Rachel! I’m not aware of tool libraries in Minneapolis, so I’ll definitely need to look into it. What a great idea and resource! And the Father’s Day sales tip is genius. Thanks again, Rachel!

I’ve still got to learn how to use a few more, so thanks for the resources. Just a heads up though, your circular saw link is broken.

Here in Portland we have tool libraries, does Minneapolis have those? We have several, specific to different neighborhoods, and they’re basically just free tool rental. It’s great for when you just need a tool for a specific project.

Father’s Day sales are the best time to stock up on power tools for yourself, ha. Gotta subvert those gender stereotypes whenever we can. 😉
