I've been putting stuff together for years (I wouldn't exactly call it
woodworking, just 1 step above nailing 2X4s together). Retirement is
closing in and I'm looking to spend some more time generating sawdust.
As my only available work space is the two car garage, I need some
tools that can be rolled in and out of the parking area. Saw a
ShopSmith today at Loews, I'd heard of them but the first I'd seen
live.

Are they any good for a beginner/intermediate woodworker? Or am I
better off spend the 3K on separate tools?

Regards.
