I have a personal aversion to mechanical fasteners. Proper joinery/adhesive choice is key.
Quite some time ago in our trade wood shop class a good friend was making a grandfather clock. The instructor helped set up the table saw to cut beautiful crown molding with a large cove. The blade was set on an angle and the wood stock was pushed through on a 45 deg angle with a jig. Yes.... it is amazing what can be done with a table saw.
I learned woodworking with a radial arm saw. They're considered dangerous these days, and have fallen out of favor. They're honestly quite safe, if you pay attention to what you're doing! I note that older, good quality radial arm saws are widely available on Craigslist at very reasonable prices.
Someone mentioned blades... good, sharp blades, and the right kind of blade for the job, is critical for getting good results. A few specialty blades, starting with a stack dado, will improve your joining techniques, as well.
I'm waiting on this one...
