Thanks for the quick reply, CH. Here come the detail questions:

I live in a small, ground-level condo with a postage stamp for a patio, so the table saw is OUT and the sawboard is IN. Does this change the choice of circular saw? For that matter, does the compound mitre saw have a collapsible base? Almost everything has to fit into a tiny hallway closet, just big enough to hide a couple of bodies. (The SAF, y'know!)

Even if not too expensive, the non-precision tools still need to be reliable. I'm assuming that's why you recommended DeWalt. What brands did you buy for precision tools? What diameter circular saw/blade works best for you?

Why a brad gun? I thought that screw'n'glue was the preferred construction method for pro audio boxes. Plus, plenty of clamps and straps!
