re: Starting Woodworking, what should I get?

1. Drill set - most name brands are okay
2. Kreg jig set
3. Miter saw
4. Sander - orbital
5. Circular saw
6. Clamps
7. Tape measure, speed square, straight edge
8. Dust mask - often overlooked by beginners but use especially when sanding indoors.

You can do a lot with the above and get experience. To go a step further I would then look to add:

5. Table saw
6. Planer
7. Router - possibly two depending on what you are doing. I use a small trim router a lot but also a larger router for mounting in a table/etc. with plunge capability.
8. Jointer - I put this last because you can buy surfaced wood in the beginning even though a jointer is very nice to have.
9. Jigsaw - maybe higher on the list - depends what you want to make. I don't use one a whole lot.
10. Air compressor with nail gun set.

I use a festool track saw a lot to break down plywood but you can make a guide for a circular saw that works and is a lot more economic. There is a lot of youtube videos on making a circular saw guide. OR like mentioned, Kreg makes a guide too but I have never tried/used it before.
