I'm looking to set up a workshop for making basic tables and chairs. If there were no limitations on price or space, what would be the absolute three power tools that I should have? I've heard about tools like a panner and a jigsaw, but I want to know what the best picks are!

I'd say the top three tools you definitely need are a table saw, a planer, and a domino joiner. The table saw is super versatile for making straight cuts, and the planer will help ensure your wood is nice and smooth. The domino joiner is great for creating strong joints, especially for furniture pieces.
Honestly, I'd recommend a drill, a track saw, and a compound miter saw. The drill is essential for driving screws, the track saw gives you precise cuts straight through larger boards, and the miter saw makes cutting angles really easy for things like chair legs!
Totally agree! The track saw is a game changer for cutting plywood. So much easier than trying to maneuver a full sheet around!
