    I've used Grizzly cutters and they did a fine job.
    Used fairly hard but not for extended periods. They may not be the sort of thing for a production shop.

    Agree with Myk.
    Don't forget that a table saw eats up a lot of floor space.

    I've made a bunch of jewelry boxes with mitered corners. I have used splines but these get fiddly in 3/8" stock.

    I second both the Craigslist and the Ridgid ideas.
    I have a 10+ year old 6" Ridgid and it has been totally maintenance free.
    If there is one thing I'd like it would be a longer table but that...

    I prefinish the insides of my boxes. A MUCH neater operation.
    If the insides of the miters need a touch up once assembled a wipe of finish with a Q-tip does it.
    For fabric, I've used both felt and...

    And his uncle, the king of Nigeria needs quick cash because his Swiss accounts are frozen.
    You'd think these guys would know that "5,99 $" is not the normal way to write that in this country.

    I've mailed cutting boards and small pieces like jewelry boxes via USPS and UPS wrapped in bubble wrap.
    Use enough wrap to make sure the pieces don't slop around.

    I second Jamie's approach but will add that i also like to pin the M&T joints with a hardwood dowel. The pin is insurance against racking and in my eye a contrasting wood pin adds a decorative and...

    Cutting boards are very popular for charity auctions. I've made them out of all sorts of cutoffs and left-overs -flat grain, not end grain. Quick and easy to make. Strips of various colored woods...

    You have an arc in the seat. Why not cut your stretcher in a matching arc -then chop the mortise plumb and the tenon shoulders square as if there was no slope to the legs?

    Have you looked at the Diablo blades at the orange borg? The 24 tooth is $28. Made by Freud I think. Works for me.

    I frequently use cherry and have used cutoffs to make more cutting boards than I care to count.
    For furniture, I oil it and put it out into our intense sunlight for several days to tan.

    I use a plain 'ol chisel the size of my mortise.

    You already own a plunge router so adding a bit and a chisel would be a minimal investment to give you all the tools needed for mortises. I would not buy a dedicated machine that costs serious money...
