/diy/ - Do It Yourself

What do you make?
Little of everything, but mostly 1-off furniture for people
What woods do you like?
Pine, Ash, Poplar, Beech, Bamboo, sweet gum
Hand tools or machines?
Hybrid, but I use more handtools the more the project matters to me.
Favourite finishing?
I like most oil and wax finishes or burnishing.

I'm really frustrated with my current shop situation.
It's a 10'x20' cheap pre-built shed.
I know I need a few benches. I'm currently working off sawhorses, and a few folding tables.
I'm fairly good on basic handtools. I have several cheaper Japanese chisels and planes I use often, a Record #4 plane, and a bunch of random hand tools I've made myself over the years. I could make due with some measurement and marking tools, but I'd rather make those than buy.
I have a okay tablesaw, a floorstanding drillpress that isn't amazing but works and a bandsaw from the late 80s that used to be great but it's falling apart. Anything not made of out machined steel on it is crumbling away. Its not long for this world im afraid.

Are there any tools or stuff in your shop that just have made a world of difference for you?
I thought about getting a miter saw. I can crosscut on my tablesaw, but its not my favorite thing in the world. Like I Said I mostly do oddball 1-off furniture. Some is stylized, others is made to look like ikea-shit because the client wants it that way. I'm looking to ease some of that early-project frustration. Breaking down stock is a struggle in my current shop, and storage/organization is a nightmare.

Also I recently learned my great-great-grandfather, great-grandfather, and grandfather were all cabinetmakers. My granddad is who taught me about wood growing up. Pretty cool tho, I got to see a pic of my great-great-grandfather standing beside a cabinet he won recognition for in the late 1800s.
