In reply to the question about routers:
I have a sears brand router although I forget exactly what horsepower.
I find my router to basically be pretty good and I do a lot of work
with oak.  If I were to get another router these are things I would
look for:
At least as powerful as my present router (I think 3/4 hp)
One with a dust bag - my router throws chips everywhere.
As far as router tables go I believe the only good one is a homemade
one.  I bought one which seemed pretty sturdy.  After a couple of months
of my router hanging under it the top now has a dip in it - very inaccurate.
Sears charges way too much for what they sell.
