Contrary to popular belief, you don’t need a lot of tools to create what we’re building here. There is a minimum number of tools that you’ll need, and then every tool beyond that will make your work either easier or more precise. Don’t think that you have to spend $1,000 on all sorts of things. It is even possible to build a tiny house with all hand tools, and people have done it. Power tools are a great thing, though, and I highly encourage their use (see here for more info on power tools). Just understand that certain tools will make the process easier. You may or may not have access to those tools, and you may or may not want to use them, borrow them, or rent them. Decide what works for you.

The pictures in this chapter are of my well-used tools. They are nothing fancy, but they work just fine, and I have built multiple houses with them. You may find yourself gravitating toward other tools as you work and gain more experience, but these are a great starting point.

Get ready to go to the hardware store and buy some supplies. You’re pretty darn close to starting to build your own tiny house on wheels.
