It sounds like you have plenty of tools to do work. Reading the rec and
magazines can convince you that you "need" all kinds of stuff.

Mark, I appreciate your response and the spirit of the philosophy. But
based on other responses, I've pretty well determined that am woefully short
in the hand tool department. I have no means for doing a mortise and tenon
joint. I have no means for making two faces parallel to each other. After I
got the jointer, I moved into a completely new zone of capability but I
still wasn't there, in my humble opinion. I still seemed to be missing
stuff to build even a simple table to dimensions with high quality fit and
finish.

But you are right. I've got plenty of tools. I think I'll be in fat city
after I get a couple of planes and good chisel set plus a means to sharpen
them. I also need some cabinet clamps or pipe clamps.
