It's actually better to not start with 20K of tools, you'll hurt yourself and you probably wont understand what is happening to the wood!
Take a cheap $30 plane and make it sharp and true, then have at a piece of old 2x6 pine! You will learn much, you'll Learn to "feel" what the wood is doing.
Take a hand saw, mark some straight lines on the wood and cut those lines........straight! It takes years to build the skill to all this by hand, power tools simply speed up the proccess, but they don't teach as well as by doing it by hand.
If your doing woodwork as a hobby, there's no rush right? learn slow, make mistakes with cheap tool. dropping a $4 chissel is a lot less painful than plunging a mortising machine into a piece of wood that has a hidden nail in it! lol |
