I often wondered if others used any power tools. I had shoulder surgery last year, so repetative motions, like thickness planning begins to wear on my shoulder and I fatigue quickly. So, I have a thickness planer and recently acquired a 6″ jointer from my father-in-law, that came attached to a 1940’s delta milwaukee table saw and also a router I got for Christmas. The router has only been turned on like two or the times, needless to say I don’t bother with it much. However, for rough sizing work i will use the planer, jointer and table saw. For the joinery, I use hand saws, chisels and planes. I avoid electric sanding and routing simply for amount of dust that is produced, not to mention I enjoy the peace and quiet and joy of working with hand tools.
With that said, your table is looking good!
Cheers!
