Thank you all for the thoughtful answers. After much consideration, the
first project is chest.

You may have noticed a number of the responses urge you to make some of
the tools you need for woodworking. You can use the idea of making a
chest guide what tools to start with. People mention a table or
sawhorses... if you really want to get down you might want to combine
woodworking with metal and make a wooden plane to smooth the surfaces of
the chest.
