I'm into wood working. Wish I had more tools but I do ok with what I have.

I've built night stands, lamps, entertainment centers and all sorts of things.

I got into display building a few years ago. I make 1/64th (matchbox size) scale farm displays. I build all my own buildings.

My father-in-law is a contractor. Every time they renovate a building, I get all the good materials. I got 2" thick oak doors once. They are now the top of my shop bench.

If you can find a saw mill anywhere around you, rough cut lumber is MUCH cheaper and a planer will pay for it's self very quickly.

Good luck and show some pictures of the build.
