I want to embark on making my own laminated/segmented pen blanks. I have no clue on how to start and would like some suggestions on what machinery may be required. Shop space is very scarce in my two-car garage.
Several machines I have considered are:
12" sliding compound miter saw, table saw, belt/disk sander, drum sander, jointer, router table, bandsaw (I already own), scroll saw.
I prefer not to play with a table saw, but might consider a 12" sliding compound miter saw, if that's what's needed. But if I MUST buy a table saw to get the job done, I will figure out a way to fit it in.
Obviously, I do not have enough space for all of these machines I mentioned. So, I would appreciate some pointers on what combination of machines is either most efficient or most essential for this task.
