      2/ for hand tools: a lot of current mass market stuff is kind of crap (e.g. chisels or handplanes from Home Depot). Flea markets, garage sales, and antique stores are good sources. You'll need to clean the tools a bit and sharpen them but (a) patina and wear are nice (b) >>>

      3/ you need to learn to sharpen anyway. For learning everything there is to know about sharpening I recommend The Complete Guide to Sharpening by Leonard Lee https://www.amazon.com/Complete-Guide-Sharpening-Leonard-Lee/dp/1561581259 …

      4/ For higher end hand tools, or if you can't find what you want at a garage sale, Lee Valley https://www.leevalley.com/en-us  and Lie Nielsen https://www.lie-nielsen.com/  are your go to places for hnnnng tool porn. I've purchased TONS of tools from Lee Valley and they're all great.

      6/ For the list of WHICH hand tools, Christopher Schwartz is the go-to guy / small publisher. His list is here http://www.talkfestool.com/vb/woodworkers-cafe/4645-anarchists-tool-chest.html … taken from one of his excellent books, I think this one https://lostartpress.com/products/the-anarchists-tool-chest … Spend some time flipping through Lost Art Press book list >

      7/ There are a few (I forget exact titles) that are exercises that an apprentice / student would have done in the early 20th century. Work through those like a guitar student practicing chords, and you'll be 100x better at basic hand tool woodworking than almost anyone around.

      8/ Yes, power tools at HD are fine. We were discussing hand tools tho. Handplanes, mallets, chisels, marking gauges, etc.https://lostartpress.com/products/the-anarchists-tool-chest …

          9/ Read Fine Woodworking magazine for inspiration (though all of those techniques and results are years away from intro level). FWW is published by Taunton Press. I recommend pretty much all Taunton Press books.

          10/ One of the very very first things you'll need to build is a workbench to build everything else on. The Workbench Book provides tons to drool over. https://www.amazon.com/Workbench-Book-Craftsmans-Guide-Publishers/dp/0918804760/ …

          11/ But you'll want something simpler. Popular Woodworking (which Chris Schwartz edited before he left to do Lost Art Press mentioned earlier) has had several articles. Use the search feature.https://www.popularwoodworking.com

          12/ Do read up about benches IN GENERAL before you pick one. My biggest mistake was building a utility / handman bench with a machinist's vise mounted on one corner, like dad had, and then I ...couldn't figure out how to do woodworking. Later I realized I needed

          13/ a cabinetmaker's bench. This is what the Workbench Book mostly covers, and those are all ridiculously awesome and lasciviously beautiful, and each probably consume $700 of hardwood. I made mine out of cheap lumber for maybe $120 + vises.pic.twitter.com/utoxR8J8Zj

          14/ For tool storage, someday you'll want to build something beautiful. ...and until then, Harbor Freight toolchests are very good and pretty darned cheap. ...and until THEN milk crates and 5 gallon buckets are even cheaper.

          16/ Every person's first work bench is either (a) built while kneeling on the concrete floor, or (b) build using someone else's bench ...and 'b' is cheating! :Phttps://twitter.com/GregM410/status/1224781849093783552 …

          Buying a mitre saw, then using it on the floor like a savage to build a bench to put it, on was extremely fulfilling.
