In Response To: Keep it cheap (Dan Ruff)

: Since you are building a stitch and glue from plans, you are going to need a
: block plane for the scarf joints. That is the important tool to buy if you
: don't already have one. To cut the panels, just use what you already have
: and cut outside the lines. I had a cheap black & decker saber saw I
: got at a garage sale. It's a peice of junk, but the panels are thin, and
: even stacked on top of one another (to ensure they are cut identically)
: the saber saw had no trouble cutting the panels.

you're right about that, if thats all that the tool is needed for, I would get the cheapest tool i could find.
