If you are just starting out in the hobby the best advice I can give is to find a local woodworking class. You will then have access to a whole room full of industrial machines. You won't be allowed to operate them but it will give you a feel for what they all do and more importantly (
) - you can get the machinist to convert your rough timber, or just use PAR stuff. That's how I started off - it was some time until I got a P/T'er. But when I did I found it gave so much freedom I can honestly not imagine going without now. I bought a Scheppach HMS260 - and it's one of the best machines in my shop - especially the thicknesser part of it.
