My small basement workshop. Besides maybe a planar, what other tools do I need?
I'm just getting started with woodworking, so I don't have a lot, but I've managed to make a few projects with what I currently have. If I had a planar, it would open the door to a lot more stuff that I could make, I think.

Dust collection.. You need dust collection.
For sure. I have a shop vac under the right workbench that is connected to the table saw. Otherwise, I broom everything up. Almost all my other tools have vac attachments, so getting a few more shop vacs isn't a bad idea. Thanks.
In a space this small... And especially with it being under your residence.. Keeping dust out of the air and also cleaned up is not only a good idea just for working, but also for safety. Sawdust is extremely flammable. Hate to burn the house down cause you hit a nail in a peice of wood.
What have you got for dust control/collection?
In the basement ?? Depending how big the door still to pass some big tooolings
Between the flights of stairs there is an exterior door thankfully so that helps, but yeah, I need to think through how big I make things so that they don't get stuck down there.
Jointer and planer go together.
A better table saw.
Used tools let you get more for less.
A good, comfortable, dust mask. And wear it when you're making fine dust (mainly sanding)
A good dust remover would be a nice addition also.
Good idea, thanks!
