Table saws, band saws, skill saws, saws alls, drills, presses, coping saws, etc.
Also have the hand tools but don't do much tenon and mortise joints, thats pretty cool.
I respect the dudes that work the wood naturally. Have to have real sharp tools to do that.
My goal is to build a cabin the old school way, no power tools. I have a tool chest that is at least 160 years old that contains everything I would need to build a building, and all in good shape. My ancestry is all German anabaptist farmers, barn raising and all, and this tool chest was for that and has been passed down. Just need to get the land, money, and time.
