Question for flux and any other stick makers

what tools do you guys have/use to build
i currently have 3 sticks worth of parts i want to start on (at least one to start with anyway) i originally had a friend working in a joinery so was able to use his stuff but recesion closed his factory down

so what are the neccesary tools
right now i have a jigsaw skillsaw and drill
and do you paint everything yourself? cos my painting skills are appalling and have no dust free place to paint

For all the sticks I've made (including my arcade cabinet!), the only power tools I've had were a drill and a jigsaw. Everything else was either sanded, handsawed, chiselled or otherwise whittled with hand tools (I love my leatherman).

Skillsaw would have been goddamn handy.

My earliest stick actually has a marble-patterned adhesive covering on it (kind of like duraseal), but everything else I've painted using either spraypaint, brush/rollered on paint, or a combination of the two.

I'm really not much of a woodworker, I prefer the pcb-hacking/electronics side of things.

That always reminded me of dresser draw sheets.  The stuff that makes you close smell like old people, lol.
