HARDWARE & MATERIALS
The screws, glue, and consumables I use on every build
Titebond III Exterior Wood Glue
Waterproof wood glue for reinforcing joinery on outdoor builds. Fully waterproof once cured. The go-to glue for any cedar project that will live outside year-round.

Deck Plus Exterior Wood Screws — 1-5/8"
Tan exterior screws that blend with cedar and resist corrosion. Pre-drill pilot holes to prevent splitting. These are the same screws used on every Marcoe Woodworks build.

TOOLS
The tools I reach for on every build in the shop
20V Cordless Drill Driver
A cordless drill is the first tool to reach for on any build. Driving screws, boring pilot holes, drilling post holes — the DEWALT 20V MAX has plenty of torque for cedar and never lets me down.
Shop on Amazon →
Brad Point Drill Bit Set
For pilot holes and clearance holes. Brad point bits make cleaner, more accurate holes in cedar than standard twist bits, reducing tear-out on the face of boards.

SKIL 10" Sliding Compound Miter Saw
Makes fast, accurate crosscuts for trimming boards and posts to length. The sliding design handles wider boards easily and is the most-used saw on my builds.
Shop on Amazon →
10pc Bar Clamp Set — 6" & 12"
Useful for holding pieces in place while glue cures or lining up parts before driving screws. This 10-piece set with both 6" and 12" sizes covers most situations in a small shop.
Shop on Amazon →
10" Table Saw
For ripping cedar boards to width and making precise repetitive cuts. A 10" table saw gives you the accuracy needed for clean joinery on any outdoor woodworking project.
Shop on Amazon →
IRWIN Combination Square — 12"
Essential for marking accurate cuts, checking squareness, and setting consistent depths. A quality combination square is one of those tools that pays for itself on the first build.
