What tools should I start with to get into building things out of wood? My wife wants me to start with some book shelves.
I have an old radial arm saw, good for cut off but not ripping, a circular saw, an electric belt sander, a scroll saw, drill of course, a orbital sander, a 4" grinder (use mostly on iron work), various files, squares and other assorted hand tools.
I have been looking for a table saw on Craigs list, looked at some but most have had what looked like a problem with a bearing. Closing in on a Rigid at Home Depot for $499.
Any comments would be appreciated.
