Over the years doing small bits of DIY I’ve picked up some Makita tools, buying as a job needed or else when I could get away with saying it’s needed! 
I have Makita multi tool, impact driver, drill and 36V track saw, which I chose over a circular saw or chop saw due to space. I also have a pretty old workmate that tries to chop a finger off every time i try to open or close it.
With my son away at University, I’d like to start a bigger project, a craft room for my wife. Some furniture may be purchased and just need fitting, but I’d like to use the project to learn woodworking skills - I’ve made shelving, cupboard doors, erected garden fence etc, but never built something substantial.
I’d like some advice on any particular tools I would need for this project, but one of the important decisions I have is whether to add a portable MFT tables, a square and some rails, with the plan to use the track saw for everything, or for this type of project would a mitre saw be more appropriate? I do not have a workshop, so I’d most likely be making stuff outside or in the room.
I have looked at the Bora Centipede, which appealed for the small storage footprint, but wasn’t sure whether to go for a 4’x4’ version and add and additional 4’x2’ if i needed extra surface area further down the line, or just get a 6’x4’ straight from the get go. Very new to the forum, and to woodworking, so apologies if I’ve not included enough information, but please let me know if that’s the case and I’ll provide here.
