Default Ok, so how much more do I need to get started making real wood projects

Kinda reminds of the QC guy from XYZ Co. on wedding night sitting on
edge of bed telling bride how good it's going to be and bride waking
up next morning hearing him still sitting on edge of bed telling her
how good it's going to be!

Now, here is my mentality. I am a project executive for a large company and
I spend my career planning and looking ahead for things that might go wrong.
It transfers into how I do things for a hobby. I love to plan a project and
do a dry run in my head, then get the materials I need. I'm not the kind of
guy that just dives in without a plan and knowing all the materials/tools
I'm going to need before hand. Why? Because I just can't seem to "go out and
buy a cheap stanley plane" to get one job done. Instead I'll determine when
and what type I'll need it, then read and study until I determine brand that
I want to buy. I'll also study how to maintain it, use it safely, what all
I can do with it. I'll probably practice on boards for two days before I'll
ever use it on a project.
