You're welcome and just keep in mind the adage of the old west gunman. It
isn't how fast you draw, it's how straight you shoot.

It will take research, some digging, gaining some knowledge, It will be
up
to you as too where you make the compromises between price and
functionality
but, above all, make the project fit the budget. By the time the project
is
finished you will have tools you could afford, that you will be using
over
and over again and the start of a firm base of understanding
woodworking.

One more thing, don't worry about the mistakes, we all make them. .

Thanks for the thought provoking writing, Mike. I think I'm only
beginning
to enjoy this as a hobby. I finally realized I cannot build anything
worthwhile in a few hours. I either make too many mistakes or grossly
underestimate how long it takes. Acceptance of building something over a
few days or a few weeks allows me to relax and just enjoy the time as I
get
it. I'll always tend to spend more on tools to try to save time, but
maybe
I'll achieve a better balance as I get close to retirement. I wish I
could
retire today and have the extra time.
