Okay, I'm new to this woodworking thing, but I really enjoy it. The
situation is, I'm looking to get some more tools but I'm not sure what is most likely to be beneficial (or at least versatile) at the moment. I currently have a 9" Ryobi bandsaw and an 8" (not sure if that's right but the blade says 8.25") makita table saw and was wondering what you wood-working gurus would recommend as my next tool. I can't decide between a 10" miter saw, 10" drill press (perhaps least obvious use to me at this point), or an 18" scroll saw. These are the ones I have a use for (or can see a practical need for in the near future). So what order would you buy these, given the types of projects listed below and limited cash availability? I've built a maple coffee table and my next big project is a Cherry dining table with leaf. I'm currently working on a lot of small projects though, including some beer steins for friends (like you see at those rennaissance festivals), clocks for my daughter and some friends, cutting boards, wine racks, a couple of decorative and utility boxes, and a photo album cover for a wedding gift (much inlay work...fun stuff). I have a circular saw, belt sander, ROS, skill saw, a couple of drills, a router attachment for my dremel, which is suiting me reasonably well for now (will definitely be getting a router eventually though) and some hand tools including various saws, chisels, planes etc. So after all that, are there any recommendations for tools I might find very useful (limited space availability) but haven't mentioned? I considered a planer, but honestly don't expect much need for one at this point. Thanks for any input you folks may have. bkr |
