I am thinking of getting into woodworking and would like some advice, especially about what table saw to buy. I want to make furniture and the occasional home reno project. As much as I really want something inexpensive, quality is more important. I would rather wait and buy an expensive, good saw. I've been looking at this DeWalt and I like the price and the saw feels sturdy, but it has a smaller table and a 16 inch rip capacity. Are these things likely to be a serious disadvantage or a minor annoyance? I don't know much about planes. Could I save money on a jointer by getting a hand plane? If so, what kind, and what brands should consider/avoid?

Thanks, that gave me something to think about. I'm not sure if I'll go with the hand plane as I will be busy enough learning how to woodwork without learning to setup a plane as well. For table saws, are you saying something like this should be good enough to start off with? I take it Delta is good enough for a hobbyist?

What's the difference between belt drive saws and direct drive saws? Why is it important?

Some time way earlier in the thread, there was a discussion about preparing a surface for gluing. If I remember correctly, it was said that you should not sand surfaces that are going to be glued together. Is this true? If so, what is the best way to prepare surface for gluing?

I found a good video demonstrating kickback. The guy deliberately caused it to inform others and ended up showing that it's easier than you think to cut off a finger during kickback. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u7sRrC2Jpp4

How often would anyone use a 1/2 inch drill bit? I have one in a bit set and I wonder if it would ever get used at all.
