My vote
Joinery saws - 4 wooden hand screws - Holdfast - smoother, jack and chisels, mallet, sharpening - Plow and rtr plane - you could probably do alot with that

Every time I travel to see extended family, I have to think through this. Inevitably some family member needs a piece of wooden furniture or trim fixed, but I never know what it's going to be ahead of time. So I have to go prepared with a basic kit. I usually bring the following:
1-2 planes, block plane and a bench plane
1 crosscut saw
1 backsaw
3-5 chisels
eggbeater drill and bits
small mallet
spokeshave
2-4 clamps
layout tools (square, marking knife, dividers, etc.)
marking gauge
I can do a lot with those tools.

Incidentally, I meant to ask you before now, what happened to that bombe you were building? Did you finish it?
Regards from Perth

Thanks,
The bombe is waiting patiently for me to resume my work.
I'll get to it some day... hopefully before Jesus comes back.

Will you be close to Roy Underhill's school?
If so, you need to check it out.
Don't forget the tool store upstairs.
I'll be a few miles from his school.
We actually have a friary in the same town.

Thanks everyone.
I'll get back to you when I actually got the tool kit put together.
I don't think I'll need basic maintain stuff as there will be those types of tools at the friary.

I vision a hand tool shop in a rental storage unit.
If there is one electrical outlet you could plug in a fan; or an overhead light, screw in a bulb/plug socket. With the door open, some 2/12's and you got a bench.
Didn't you build a tool box?
Put the 2/12 bench on locking casters and push it outside for light, and push back in when it's time to go, lock up and leave.
now why did i come in here.
