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.

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.
