I’ve been in woodworking just long enough to have made a bunch of wrong decisions about what to get, when.  Now I’m hoping to get rid of my low-end tablesaw and my jointer to offset the cost of a bandsaw.  They’ve been gathering dust, unused, for almost 2 years now.  I already have a lunchbox thicknesser planer.  The bandsaw (when it comes) and the planer are the two tools I think for sure I would keep in what is now almost exclusively a handtool shop.  I like working at night w/o disturbing the neighbors, and I really like for my 2,4,6,8,10,12, and 14 year olds (warning: child gloat) to feel comfortable hanging out in the shop with me and fiddling around with the tools to create something ex lignum.
