This picture is from an old post take a peek in my toolbox. I don’t use a toolbox anymore, but I still use 99% of all the tools I used way back when.

I used my pry bar when I refinished these hardwood floors and any other time that I took up carpet.
In this week’s show I mentioned that I wanted this Wonder Bar but I may already have it from Jamie’s Laminate Flooring project.
I guess a pry bar may be like any other tool in your arsenal, it never hurts to have more than one—use the right tool for the right job. 
Watch Cody’s Pry Bar YouTube Video.
A pry bar isn’t any good at all if you don’t have a good hammer. If you listen to the podcast you’ll find out that I really didn’t know there were hammers for different purposes. I’m learning a lot from my own podcast!
While making the Kitty Hideaway, I used the speed square quite a bit. After watching some of Cody’s YouTube videos, I now know that I need to order a Swanson Speed Square
This is my favorite self centering tape measure that I keep in the kitchen island craft station.
Be sure to watch Cody’s Tape measure YouTube Video, where he recommends the Stanley FatMax tape measure.
I use this adjustable combination square on so many re-builds. I am math challenged for sure, so whenever I need an exact measurement over and over again, I dial it in and I know I’m good—just like I did when I trimmed out the kitchen cabinets and when I made this repurposed dresser into a media center.
I mentioned in the podcast that I’ve only framed one wall, that being my DIY portable wall that I use for staging my projects.
