Hi to all)) Great question give a boy: box, scissors, tape and he will build space ship, after 25 years give same person tool box and he will ask about more tools to finish his project.I believe Paul in his book describe small list of tools which you need to get started.Buy only tool’s for upcoming project. Don’t forget shipment cost. From time to time Lee Valley offer free shipping. Buy EZE-Lap diamond plates from amazon they chipper there + free shipping. When you buying your tools remember the rule: Old is gold. Go for vintage you can understand how tools working during restoration process, which is also fun to do,500$ its a lot)) Why I like Paul he never show how many tools he owned, he always used old tools, he never try to sell any thing. He want teach how to use tools, and how to work with minimum tool list. I remember when I watched Anar.Tool chest DVD from one of the woodworking guru( he is great guy I’m not joking) when he mentioned about cost of plow plane(over 1000$) but he liked and he don’t care about price. Or we will take Rob Co.( he is great guy too) when he showed his minimum tool list on the bench a couple thousand$$. We have to always remember who cutting the board you or saw))Go with your dream, never forget that small boy in inside of you who can build any thing with scissors,tape and the box) 500$ it’s a lot)
