Default is it possible to woodwork without 20k in tools?

I have a jigsaw, circular saw, corded and cordless screw gun, and an orbital sander. I plan on getting a bosch combination plunge/fixed base router soon. I'm wondering though. Is it even possible to do much woodworking without having a full shop of all the huge tools like tablesaw/planer/jointer/bandsaw/etc

I don't really have room for a lot of huge tools and I will probably be working outside most of the time so I will be moving them outside to work.

I guess I'm wondering what tools are required and if there are any shortcuts or cheaper ways to do the jobs these huge machines do.

Over the years I'll be able to get some more equipment but in the mean time I would like to see what I can do without.

I just made a couple bookcases and I plan on making a king size platform bed with drawers in it. I also want to make a liquor cabinet and a couple computer desks. eventually I would like to get more advanced though.

so I kind of rambled but any advice will be greatly appreciated.

thanks
Kyle
