1. slant board, nail guns, biscuit joiners, dowel makers and dowels, table saw, chop saw, radial arm saw, ability, drive, experience, coustomers, personality and salesmenship. spray room, stains etc, finishing tables...low boys & high boys, fire retardant systems. a place to work and the cash to hold out until yours first check comes in.
2. Besides what he says "Ticket..", the knowledge of cabinet making and installation, years of experience helps unless you have a helper that knows what he's doing.
3. A good table saw. square, and adjustable clamps.
4. Skip the radial arm saw and get a good router with stile and rail bits. Also you will need some good clamps such as Bessey K Bodies. A random orbital sander is also a must.
