I'd be going with a furniture store right now.
wowza, tools are expensive!!!Easy-Peasy; I could drop that much, and then some, in ten minutes at Rockler. One Delta table saw, an 8" jointer, and a Powermatic 14" band saw. Done.

Yep; just that table saw, what is referred to as a cabinet saw, goes for about $3,500. The band saw is another $1,700 or so, and the jointer, a tool to obtain dead-straight edges on boards is another $1,000 or so for a basic one.wowza, tools are expensive!!!
Maybe 30 years ago, we stopped at that all non-electric store in Kidron. Even then, they had a fancy wood stove that was over $3,000, what with all the nickel fittings and such. I can't remember the name of the store now, but I recall there being a couple of tour buses parked outside of the place.An Amish furniture store, we are close to Amish country. It is expensive so one or two pieces may be all that $5,000 would buy. It is worth it though. That is the kind of furniture which can be passed down through generations.
