Clamps get them from Harbor Freight, they are very inexpensive and lots of woodworkers use them.
A router is a good tool to have.
A Planer is good to have if you plan to do a lot of finished project with dimnsional lumber. If you plan to use hardwood from the lumber yard you really don't need it.
As mentioned you can get by without a table saw. Get a sheet of 3/8 plywood and make a couple guides to use with a circular saw to break down plywood.
Watch lots of YouTube videos.

ETA.
If you want a pocket hole jig get the Porter Cable 560. Very user friendly and easier to adjust than the Kreg jigs.

Agreed. Learned the hard way on this one. Porter cable makes some cheap stuff, but it also makes some good stuff too. I highly recommend their side grinder and heat guns as well. But if you are dealing with wood, you won't need these. At least I hope you realize you will not need these

Unless I'm misunderstanding you I think this is backwards. People doing projects using dimensional lumber are buying s4s boards and not usually trying to change the thickness. People buying hardwood at a lumber yard usually buy it rough or somewhere between rough and s4s and then use their jointer/planer/saw to mill it how they want it.
