New to woodworking, what do I need?

I planned on attaching my 55" to the 75" for ripping large sheets, I also have a Panel Saw Pro for backup.  I planned on hanging my cabinets using the french cleat system for easy moving if changes are needed.  I plan on up grading my Kobalt 10" Miter saw to a Kapax.

You can apparently purchase a nifty "small" 210 DVD set for as little as $2999 from them.  [eek] [scared]

Seemed a little pricey to me at first glance. But then I saw that it includes 6 autographed photos of Norm, PLUS free shipping. That sealed the deal for me.  [big grin]

They'd sell a lot more if it included a signed flannel shirt.

for general woodworking you should tune into Norm Abram's New Yankee Workshop.

I thought you were joking - then I followed the link [eek]

Don't let Paul see that.  ::)
 
In summary, lots of money, lots of time, lots of patience, lots of practice.  But its well worth it!
 
I've never found any S4S lumber purchased to be consistent in thickness or available in a finished width that is straight or ready for glue up to make a wider panel. Considering your collection as a power tool user, at minimal you might want to consider a bandsaw, a portable surface planer and a small dust collector. All of these could store in a few square feet. Next suggestion would be acquisition of a long bed jointer because even though your router table has some capability of joining an edge, you're in need of a method to flatten the face of the stock to remove bow, cup or twist.

I agree, the first tools I purchased after my table saw (35 years ago) was a long bed 8" wide jointer and a 12" planer.  There is no substitute for straight and square material for your projects.
