Yes, of course. He'll need a set like that to build one of these:

Hey OP ... Start simple.
You might want to start with a simple workbench and use it as a base to
extend the usefulness of the tools you already own with various jigs.

Use the internet to search for plans like you mentioned. There are tons
of free plans and even the purchased ones are usually only about $10.00.
Try your hand at birdhouses & feeders, planter boxes to spiff up that
new house and so on. If you run out of ideas, but had the foresight to
get married, you might brainstorm with yer missus.

Play. Sometimes you make really neat decorative or useful things, other
times you make memories.

Just be careful ... otherwise those memories can be of how you watched
your fingers go flying past you.
