handsaw, jigsaw or band saw
nut saw
sander
sandpaper with different granulation
hand drilling machine
box column drill
files for wood and metal
fret files
nut files
different screwdrivers
planes
soldering iron
tin
clamps
bench vise
cutters
radii sanding block
fret slotting template
scraper (important tool for building an instrument)
and for your own security, use safety glasses, a dust mask and ear protection.
