Or all may get together on the complete set, in a handy met al chest or with a pegboard that designates a space tor every tool. For the "mid-streamer" who al ready has about everything he needs in the way of hand tools, the next step up calls for power tools to broaden the scope of his activities. Good Start A good start would be a port able electric drill kit including at tachments for drilling holes, bull ing, polishing, grinding, sanding, mixing paints, etc. These kits make the handy man's work about the house a thousand times easier, because he can take them to the spot where he is working . . . even out to the garage to polish the family car. ' Another popular item is the portable power saw. It comes in lightweight but sturdy models, especially designed for the small builder, handyman, and workshop hobbiest. One of the most important de velopments in the do-it-yourself power-tool field is the multipur pose tool. Combining all basic op erations into one unit, this tool can be used as a saw, disc-sander, lathe, vertical drill press and hor tizontal drill. It is especially prac tical where space is at premium and a compact working set-up is essential. Advanced Type Now we come to the "advanced type" of do-it-yourselfer, who al ready has what looks to you like a pretty complete line-up of pow er tools. He never has all the pow er tools he wants. As his skill in creases, his horizons widen and his. interest begins to soar in spe cialized professional-type power tools, such as lathe, radial saw. arbor saw, drill press, band saw. Jointer, shaper, sander, and grind er. To successfully gift the "advanc ed type do-it-yourselfer" it is nec essary (1) to know what tools he already has, and (2) to learn what he needs and wants. If you are In doubt about the matter, most any hardware, lum ber or electric appliance dealer can'help. you make a wise selec tion, if you let him know what tools are on hand and the type of work toward which your do-it yourselfer is trending.
