Hi. Can anyone advise a newbie on gathering some basic hand tools? I've no real experience but I've always wanted to have a go at woodworking and I'm keen to get started on some basic bits of furniture from the projects in DK's Woodwork manual. I'm in a flat so planning to stick with hand tools as far as possible.
I would plan to just buy what I need as it's required but I don't know whether to opt for reasonable quality used tools on ebay (not knowing which brands are worth what) or just buy some basic stuff in B&Q until I know I'm going to keep at it!
I'm based in Edinburgh so according to some other threads on here there aren't many local suppliers for quality tools or wood so I think I'll have to use the internet a fair bit to supply what I need.
Thanks in advance for any advice!
