Hi,
I am renovating a house and I am going to install oak skirting throughout, as well as some door frames and architraves.
I have always fancied buying some proper woodworking tools with a view to making some furniture at some point. I'm trying to pursuade my wife that the cost of all the rouch sawn timber plus the tools wouldn't be much more than buying ready-made skirting etc.
So far, I'm looking at a Woodster PT85 Planer / Thicknesser from Screwfix. Ideally I'd like a table saw and a spindle moulder, but it's getting a bit pricey now. I have a jigsaw and a router already but I think that'll be tough.
Does anyone have any advice as to what options I have? Perhaps a combination machine of some sort? How easy would it be to use a cheap circular saw for ripping the boards down?
Thanks,
Orv
