DIY Pete: 本期节目旨在帮助新手木工选择合适的入门工具。我建议参考我的资源页面(diypete.com/resources)，上面列出了我推荐的工具，当然你也可以在当地五金店或其他地方寻找合适的工具。此外，我还建议购买一套包含套筒、月牙扳手、钳子、钻头、螺丝刀、锤子、螺丝等基本工具的工具组，以应对各种家居维修需求。在制作工作台方面，我建议新手自己动手制作，这不仅可以学习基本技能，还能节省资金。制作工作台需要钻头、斜切锯、圆锯或台锯、轨道砂光机等工具。我建议购买锂离子电池钻头，并根据预算选择合适的品牌和型号。在购买工具时，可以关注家居建材商店的清仓商品、特价区以及节假日促销活动，寻找优惠。对于工具品牌的选择，我建议新手根据自身需求和预算选择合适的品牌，入门级可以选择Ryobi和Black & Decker等品牌，如果项目较多，可以选择Makita、DeWalt、Milwaukee、rigid等更耐用、功能更全的品牌。最后，我推荐了Anna White (Anna-White.com) 和Jays Custom Creations (jayscustomcreations.com) 两个网站，上面有许多免费的工作台制作方案。 Paul: 我最近买了一套公寓，想用800到1500美元的预算打造一个小型工作室，并学习一些基本的DIY技能。目前我只有一些很基础的工具，希望得到关于工具选择、品牌推荐、购买渠道以及如何节省资金的建议。
