Brett,

Read the last line again.

uh oh!!! now wheres that tool catalogue.......

I use my table saw, hand sander, and rotary tool on just about every project.  The rotary tool is filling in for a drill press and on small projects I use it as a router too.

I would love to add a full size drill press and a surface planer but I don't have enough room in the spare bedroom used as a shop.  Maybe in 2 years when I retire and move out of this house I'll have enough room to set up a proper shop and include a lathe as well.

I use my Delta disc belt sander combo a lot, it sits on the bench next to my saw and I usaully hold my pieces on the belt to take off any fuzzies left over from sawing, and I usually turn on my midi lathe atleast 2 nights a week it helps me unwind, keep the sawdust flying, woodman

Love to add a lot of tools, but a drum sander machine would be great to have

   I have most of the normal  tools ,plus a Drum Sander, and I find that I use this more than my planer, I resaw most of  the wood on a 14 inch band saw then just sand it

  That   way  I am sure that all the wood for any one project  is all the same size.

 even  down to 1/8 inch.

Of all the tools I have,  patience is one I can always use more of.    :^)

Will- Good tool to have, however, mine seems to be hindsight. This is because I  take my time doing something so I don't screw up, but when I get close to finishing something, then I start to rush as I want to be finished and onto something new.

This is where my hindsight kicks in- right after I screw up.

I have a orbital sander, table saw, planner, band saw, drill press and oscillating spindle sander. I would be lost without any of them but especially the drill press and orbital sander. I would love to get one of those "flea" sanders but I saw the price of one the other day!  I would love to get a joiner though! Oh, and a bigger shop!

I use my delta drill press and my delta combination belt and disc sander the most. I would really like to have a drum sander, so as I couls sand bith sides of my cuttings at the same time. woodman

Basic tools I cannot do without are orbital sander, drill press, disc sander and dust extractor. The latter may not be categorised as a 'tool' but is the most indispensable in my workshop. On my wish list is a bandsaw so I can do my own resawing.
