Humble brag bump..

I finished the couch and made a table too (I've learned a lot of tricks and things along the way!) REALLY enjoying the work. This is woodworking stuff that I always dreamed of doing
I have some wood left and will be working on a matching chair next
Then I will build a proper work bench/table in the garage too

You're so screwed. You'll soon discover you need a quality table saw, a jointer, planer, drill press, several nail guns, air compressor, an entire arsenal of hand tools, and a track saw (how could I forget a track saw?). $10k will get you started.

Hey, I just ordered $100 worth of tools this morning!
But yeah, I know how deep this rabbit hole can/will go. Working in an office every day for 25+ years, I love building THINGS in my free time. I'm not very good at it (I rush everything) but I understand the concepts and the processes quite well I think.

The good news for my budget is that I can't do this in my basement. As @snoopy7548 mentioned, dust is a major problem in our small house with forced air HVAC. So I'm more or less regulated to the garage for cutting. And our garage is a small, 1.5 detached so there's no heat or conditioned air at all. So, being in Wisconsin, that's not many serviceable months.

My next project I think is actually a work bench for the garage. I want a nice large flat surface to be able work on. I also would like to build a compact cart/table with left/right supports for my miter saw - but again, it sort of needs to be compact due to space constraints.

Oh! Amazon prime day... maybe time to buy some saw blades

Take a look at youtube for small shop ideas, there are a few good ones. One is a miter table that flips the saw out of the way, darn handy.
I'm considering putting a mini split in my garage to keep it comfortable. Also thinking about buying a CNC router, but I can't figure out what I'd use it for.

When you buy a dust collector (and you will buy a dust collector) put it outside if you can. I get really tired of hearing the thing drone. When I'm running the planer with the dust collector it's like having my head in a jet engine.

Don't ignore tool safety, I made one tiny little mistake on my table saw and ended up with a very messy finger, I'll post a pic if you need a good wince.
