OK, part 2. As I prepare to get started in this [strike]obsession[/strike]...uh, hobby, I am curious as to the views of those who are far ahead of me. Specifically, I want to ask opinions of this group as to the suggested materials to begin working with. Most of the work I've done so far is with lower cost sheet goods (Sandeply, mostly) and some S4S Poplar and Oak from BORG. What materials would provide decent looking pieces and yet not kill me to discard/toss when my many mistakes will be made? As for tools I have a BT3000 table saw and benchtop Northern Tools drill press; otherwise all are corded/cordless power tools.
Thanks in advance for the help!
In case I wasn't clear in the original post, I have no access to planer/jointer, so I think I'll have to use S4S or sheet goods, unless anyone can teach me how to plane/joint some other way.
