re: Tips for Starting Woodworking

I’ve never really thought about the starting.
I’ve always been handy with a shed full of tools to do home and vehicle maintenance. 
I didn’t like woodworking at school preferring metalwork; thus engineering trades through the Navy. Then found out office work in procurement was more rewarding. 
The woodwork came as an outlet distraction for pain management and better mental health. Being an impatient sort of bloke I just wanted to make and finish something; so with the handyman tools I had the journey started. Somehow I settled on toymaking and with the support, encouragement of many folk found out I’m creative and not too bad at doing it. 
It was a matter of just starting, but saying that, I’ve always appreciated good quality tools as I could afford them. Older secondhand tools have saved me a bucket of money.
