I’ve done a lot with a circular saw, bandsaw, mitre saw, jointer, planer and router table. The wood you buy is typically not square of flat in any dimension, so a jointer and planer is a must. I want a table saw, but there’s really not much it can do that I can’t do with the tools I have. Table saw allows you to rip boards, but I’ve ripped with the bandsaw – mind you I have a pretty good one from Grizzly. Plus bandsaw might be safer, but a real dummy can cut themself with a sheet of paper!
