Building a woodshop....recommended tools
markrvp:
I agree with those who said a good table saw is first on the list. I have built several projects using nothing more than a table saw and cordless drill. I would get the best one you can afford.

WOW, thanks guys, I didn't expect this many replies or this much information. I will mostly go with corded tools, the only cordless I will have will be a drill as that will be used for both woodmaking and household chores ( already have a 18v Craftsman, which I have no complaints about. I've been looking at the 3100t Ryobi TS and it has got a lot of good reviews, ( have the compressor also, just need to wire that puppy up, but 220v scares me ). I'm gonna do a search and check out that one guys shop mentioned in a earlier reply....
Thanks Again
Tim

If you're serious, consider the investment in a higher quality tool.. You'll find that if you go to a real woodworking store you'll find a significantly higher quality tool for not much more money. Personally, I have almost all Powermatic and JET tools.. Most important thing is the Table saw. Get the best one you can afford and try for a cabinet saw.. it's worth it. From there, go for a good bandsaw, drill press, jointer, router table etc..

I need an electric sander. The Buzzy kind! :laugh:

Ohh, almost forgot, I got a huge 3 section tool cabinet from sears last year. The thing was perfect for all the tools Ive collected, and otherwise were scattered arround.
I got it on 'black friday' - which is fast approaching. They didnt have any in stock, but ordered it for me at the sale price. I think it was a little over 200$, reg. priced at 300+ I believe.
