As a self-proclaimed handy gal, I have a garage full of mostly hand-me-down tools that have helped me immensely in all my projects.  Although there are many, many more I would love to add to my collection (drill press, Kreg jig, router, just to name a few), I have gathered a list of essential tools I think every girl should own in order to do her own projects.

As a little girl, I remember loving helping my Dad with all things home improvement, car repairs and yard work. Something about seeing your hard work unfold before your eyes captivates me every time.  A vision turning into reality is rivaled by little.
