I'll be restarting the planning for a workshop in my garden, and thought I'd canvas for opinions/ideas.
My aim is to, hopefully, use the workshop for making things like garden/house furniture - after honing my skills. So total output from shop will no be massive (ie it's not my job!). I currently don't have a workspace, so only have typical power tools (compound mitre saw, jigsaw, drills, large router, 'hobby' router table, plus hand tools).
1)
I would be looking to buy a pillar drill, and I'm trying to weigh up between a table saw and a band saw initially. It seems like a contentious subject from what I gather. I can see benefits in both, and can see ways to compromises for the one you don't have.
Any suggestions for the type of simple work/joints I'll be doing?
2)
Planner/thickener. This seems like an economical choice as thus far I have always bought finished wood, and this would give the ability to finish to sizes I need on the fly. A workshop will enable me to hold some stock where as I don't at the moment.
Does this make sense?
3)
Extraction.
Where do I start?!? Seriously I have know idea. Anyone recommend any good posts/sites for spring/fitting something?
Apologies for such a long post - congratulations if you made it this far!!
