Great advice, Ed.
Most everything that I have purchased has been to do a particular job.
I've always felt, I can purchase the tool to do something for less
than hiring someone to do it for me. At least that is the way that it
has worked for my major tools.
Regards,
Ed

Step one is to decide what you want to make. That will determine the tools
you need. You bring up clamps. When I first started woodworking, I figured
clamps were non-productive and just were not fun things to spend money on
compared to a good tool like a cordless drill or other toy.
