So I have a window that doesn't have trim around it (see pic 1). And will eventually need to make a trim around it that matches the other windows in the house (see pic 2). The trim does not seem complicated (it's an old house over 100 years old). I have a miter saw and a circular saw. But some stuff on the trim that I need to replicate looks to be L-shaped legth-wise. I'm assuming that to make an L-shaped piece of wood I'll need a table saw, a I right?

Also, I don't know whether it be better to buy a table saw and try to do it myself or to find a professional to do it for me. While I do have future construction projects in mind I don't think any of them will require a table saw. So idk. Maybe I could rent one? Still, I might spend more $ and ruined wood + time than I would on just hiring someone who knows what they're doing. Idk

I don't see the pictures, so I am guessing on the profiles. Most trim profiles can be made on the table saw (see attached video for a video I made on he subject). Out of all the tools out there a table saw is the most versatile even some smaller portable saws. So i don't think it is a bad idea to get one. The trick is to have a good blade, most saws come with a crappy blade. Go slow and don't get in a hurry and you should be fine.
