I'm completely new to home ownership & woodworking. I've tried to tackle a few projects myself & bought a couple tools in the process, but mostly still have no idea what I'm doing. My garage is a currently a complete mess. I've put some stuff up on the walls to make more space and start organizing, but I don't have any decent shelves and the "workbench" is currently just a storage area (leaving me no place to work). The surface of the workbench is warped and there are no vices or clamps making it a less than ideal work surface anyway.
I've started doing some research and dumping the notes here as I (very slowly) make progress.
