Anyone here know woodworking?

All depends on what you you plan to do.
The one thing I don't like to do by hand is long rips.
So that's a table saw job.
That can be done with a circular saw. Depending on how accurate, the depth and what you're starting with I almost always prefer the table saw. Even though its only an 8" a twistlock belt and thin Freud blades make the most of what its got.
With limited space for the home shop, I tend to lean more heavily into a good workbench and hand tools. Keeps the dust levels down which is equally important when working without a collection system in a confined space. I can't recall the last time I put the dado blade into the table saw.
Shopsmith is pretty cool. Like any multipurpose tool, it takes a little more time to setup/reconfigure. Neighbor had an older one in the same size basement as mine (ie small).
