Build things, find out what your good at... tables boxes etc, with the tools
you have. Most woodworkers find a particular niche they like working. As
your skills increase let your projects determine the tools you need. Read
old posts in this group. Do some shopnotes projects and see where your
skills are lacking and adjust accordingly.

I am looking for general advice. I apologize up-front if this is not the
correct News Group:



1) I enjoy doing trim work and carpentry, I do not have a lot of
experience. Chair Rail, Crown, Bead board etc.

2) I am interested in getting started in woodworking.

3) I have the following tools:

a. 10 in compound miter saw

b. Router, I have only used once.

c. An old Makita 8 inch, contractor table saw

d. Other hand tools, Skill Saw, etc



Any suggestions on my next steps or purchases? My "gung ho" side wants to
purchase an upgraded table saw, belt driven. Any suggest as my next
steps?
Wood working class?



Any reply would be greatly appreciated.
