In your opinion, what saws would I consider if I decided to sell my table saw? I have a band saw which I will keep, a LN xcut and rip saw,a LN dovetail saw, and a Distin rip and xcut and the new 16" tenon saw. Does that cover it? Should I consider additional saws.

I'd agree that many woodworkers today have a broader, but more shallow, skillset than those in the past.Zach Dillingerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04253489360440424953noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8458866935778172402.post-87700701056565067522011-10-18T18:31:49.681-04:002011-10-18T18:31:49.681-04:00Good post.

We do have more skills, but are probably not as good as they were at what they did.

I'm happy making the things I enjoy, and expanding my skills where I can, without relying on new tools to do it. I don't need that Lie-Nielsen tongue and groove plane, I can do it with a plow and a rabbet plane that I already have. <br />Zach Dillingerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04253489360440424953noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8458866935778172402.post-73889597211446454602011-10-18T07:03:26.437-04:002011-10-18T07:03:26.437-04:00Great post Zach, often times you hear of the slipp...Great post Zach, often times you hear of the slippery slope, be it power tools or hand tools, but rarely " a losing battle" or an up hill climb. I am now doing an inventory of the tools I have,the ones I use, the ones taking up space, and the ones I will sell.
