Dont break the bank. Learn to use what you have. Learn it well, a few miortises with a screwdriver never hurt anyone. Learn and practice fundimentals well. Beware of all the mickey mouse gadgets. Stay with it till you work it out. Dont buy chinese unless absolutely neccessary. Limit your budget to about 4.50 on woodworking magazines, (I mean for life), I did buy one about 20 yrs ago,then looked through several recintly while at a bookstore to find that nothing had changed. Most of all Enjoy the journey. JB
