Start with softwood like pine, poplar and ash. Once you feel comfortable with these two, move on to hardwood.
How can I keep my shop organised?
The first step toward keeping your workshop clean and organized is to set aside a designated area for storing tools. Keep your tools away from dust and debris, so they stay sharp and ready to work. To hang accessories and tools, use pegboard hooks.
What is the minimum amount I will need to start?

How To
How to make wood joints
This tutorial will show how to join 2 pieces of wood together. We will be using the "pocket-hole joint", which involves drilling holes in wood and then gluing them together. This method is great if your wood's straight and smooth. You might consider dowel joinery if your wood isn’t straight or flat. Here are the steps
-
Drill Pocket Hole Joints. Measure and mark the location where you would like to place the pocket hole joint. With a handheld drill machine or jig saw, drill 3/4-inch deep holes in the ends of each piece.
-
Sand Smooth. The wood's edges can be sanded to prevent splitting.
-
Glue together. Apply glue on both sides of the wooden plank. Allow the wood to rest for five minutes before clamping it together.
-
Attach the Pieces together. After the glue has dried thoroughly, secure the pieces so that they are flush.
-
Trim Joinery. After the glue dries completely, trim off any excess wood around the joint.
Make sure to leave enough room between the pieces so that you can turn them inside and out.
