I thought I'd found heaven when I acquired my drum sander, however I can still do everything it does for me by hand.
I think the second most usable tool if you are making instruments has got to be a router, particularly a palm/trim router.
Which Tool
Saws, Sanders, Drill Press etc. nice to have -- must have
