This is the class description:

Students taking this class will work on a pre-selected project using either hand tools and/or small power tools. The project will include most phases of woodworking skills: cutting, gluing, sanding and assembly. Materials for this project will be furnished, however, students are encouraged to bring their own power or hand tools to use.

Any suggestions?

What other types of saws should I look at?

I am a single mom and my parents never taught me these things. So now I am teaching myself as I am making a playhouse for the kids. What kind of saw is the best for cutting up wood to the proper measurement?

I currently have a power miter saw and drill. I thought a table saw might be helpfull in cutting large wood pieces. I have looked at nail guns, however the ones I feel comfortable using do not have the capabilities of using large size nails.
