"I live in a town home with a two car garage
that has a car, motorcycle, and many boxes stored. I would like to
build book shelves and can move the car out of the way. I don't
think I can get a table saw. Where should I start?"

WWGOA Editor Response Lots of
woodworkers get started in a small amount of space with a small
number of tools. I can remember, early in my own woodworking, doing
many projects with a circular saw, jigsaw, and belt sander. It
certainly taught me how to be creative!
Tools have evolved a lot since then, for the better. You should
have a look at saw systems like theDeWalt
TrackSawand theFestool Guide Rail System. They
combine extremely high quality circular saws with a straight edge.
The cut quality is as good as what many table saws produce, and
dust collection is excellent.
These guide rail systems are not inexpensive, but they work
extremely well and will allow the user to work within the confines
of limited space. Combined with a couple other tools, such as a
router, sander and cordless drill, you'll be able to tackle
lots of jobs, including your book shelves.
