A friend of mine used to do rather fine furniture building with just two "power tools" in his cramped townhouse dwelling.

He had an electric drill, and a 16" (throat depth) scroll saw.

That's it. Plus chisels, a couple of hand planes, scrapers, and a pair of japanese style handsaws.

Quite amazing the work he turned out, resawing timbers on the scroll saw..

Now that he has a much larger place, I expect his collection of "tailed apprentices" may have grown more numerous.

Cheers
