Neccessary hand-tools

[charley1968]

G'day, folks!
I've recently begun to buy hand tools. Now i wonder what tools you consider an absolute neccessity to have for furniture/box-making. For you info: I got a complete set of bench chisels (no mortising chisel), a block plane, a no.5 1/4 jack, a no. 6 fore, a japanese combi-saw (rip/cross-cut), a dovetail-jig, a rip-cut saw with progressive teething (Flinn 10"), a large router plane, marking knives and -gauge ,squares, mallets. Do you consider scrapers, spokeshaves, cross-cut saws aso. to be of absolute importance?
Thanks for your input:

There's a lot of debate on this subject and a lot of it comes down to personal preference. The list of tools given in The Anarchist's Tool Chest is pretty close to what I use: http://static1.squarespace.com/static/5 ... chwarz.pdf

Thanks for the link, Dave. Seems i'm almost there.

for box making, i would add a record 043. probably not essential because there are alternative ways of making a groove, but it is a quick and easy way.
