Tips on starting furniture making? (lemmy.world)

I'd really love to start making something, even if it's basic. Any tips on where to start? Tools, wood, etc?

Nothing against track saws at all, they're excellent tools. My point is, if I had no tools, and I was going to buy one powered wood saw, it would be an ordinary circular saw.

For instance, what's it like cross-cutting a 2x4 with a track saw?

Same as doing it with a regular circular, you just don’t use the track.
