Anyone here know woodworking?

If you haven't yet, check out Fine Woodworking Magazine and the publishing company associated with them. Great books on joinery, wood properties, and great jig examples; sliding bed for table saw, hinged wood stops, lots of cool stuff to make on the cheap. I'm late to the thread, but a 1HP table saw with a T Square fence is hobby good. Use a push stick to keep your fingers away from the blade and NEVER have your hand over the top of the blade, no matter how shallow the Dato cut. Ensure any wheels are locked. You don't want the saw moving when you are cutting. If anything binds between the blade and fence, step away. Wood is cheap. A 3/4 HP Porter Cable router with a 1/2" and 1/4" collet will do about everything you come across. You can find them with an additional plunge router base if you want to do inlay. You can sculpt with a Porter Cable 4x24 belt sander. Hog down sticking doors with 80 grit, kiss away blemishes and edge bumps with 120 grit. You will probably screw up a few pieces getting the hang of it, but when you learn it, it's an amazingly versatile tool! Oh and you just can't have too many wood clamps.
