i have been doing all my building with hand tools and am looking to buy a saw to make things a little easier on me - which would be more useful? it would be used exclusively for making cbgs - would these $125 or so jobs at lowes, etc. do the job?

I have the use of both. I have a good used craftsman bandsaw and an ok mikita portable tablesaw, my dad has a really nice old craftsman table saw that I use. I would say look for good used or really good sales and get the bandsaw first, then look for a good tablesaw. The portable mikita is ok, but the real thing is so much better, if you have the space. My next tool is going to be a good drill press. The more tools you have the more creative and better quality your builds will get. You can do alot with very little, but so much more with the right tools. Buy the best you can afford (like JUJU's awsome bandsaw) and hope they last for life (my dads tablesaw was his fathers first, dad is now 80).
