    If you buy a compound miter saw.....get one that slides so you can cut wide boards

    Boats one thing Tush. There was NO WAY to run the wires where I wanted them. One bad thing about a bay boat, you can't get to the wides with wires. ALL my wires to the front and the center console are where their supposed to be. I have build shelving and a book case or 2 years ago with a dang handsaw. Talk about tiring

    IMHO, it's highly unlikely u will be cutting any compound angles, so a good slide miter will do. However, I really like one with the laser beam, makes things much easier, faster and more accurate. Hatchie makes a good one too..

    If the budget can stand it, get the 12" compound slider instead of a 10". You might not ever need the compound feature, but if you ever do, you will be glad you have it. The additional distance from the 12" comes in handy more time than you would think. Just my 2 cents.

    A good circular saw will do most of what you want to do with outdoor furniture, planters and such.
    I bought a 10" miter saw when I redid the floors. The limit on it's straight cut was a 2x6, 45 degree angle was a 2x4.

    Definitely worth it to go with a 12" miter saw. The 10" is too small on bigger boards. You can find some really good equipment in pawn shops or Craigslist, if you are patient.

    DD i have heard stories about you and some of your abilites i strongly urge that you either buy the stuff already built from the store or hire someone to build it for you. Pretty sure you want to keep all ten of your fingers
