    Start here, don’t stop here.
  

*by J***E on Reviewed in the United States on January 4, 2019*

My first book in woodworking (hand tools were my start) was The Anarchists Tool Chest.  That book gives a great exhaustive list of everything you’ll need, and I’m glad I own it.  That said, I wish I’d bought The Minimalist Woodworker first.  It IS the book for the person starting out on a budget.  The projects are focused on making your shop work.  That would also be my only criticism.  It is fiercely practical, so it offers no “vanity projects” you can take in to your spouse to earn some good will and shop time.

*by R***Y on Reviewed in the United States on July 20, 2016*

This book was not useful for me, and I returned it.  I respect what the author has attempted to do in writing it and appreciate his publishing a book that aims to popularize woodworking.  However this volume attempts to cover too much in too little space, and thus can't go much into depth on anything. Much of the book is taken up with some simple projects. There are lots of photos, which are nicely done, but don't leave room for as much text as I would have hoped for.  Statements are made about what hand tools are necessary for woodworking, but little is actually said in detail about why the tools listed here are needed, or what makes them important vs other options, how to choose them, where to buy them, or what to look for in the comparing various models and features available.  I would have liked to see much more comprehensive detail in this area.  I learned a lot more than is covered in this book simply by browsing Paul Sellers free videos on the web.Instead of -- or in addition to -- this book, please consider "The Anarchist's Tool Chest" by Christopher Schwarz, for a truly comprehensive, minimalist list of hand tools you really need to do good woodworking, and the comprehensive reasons why these specific tools were selected. Also consider "The Essential Woodworker" by Robert Wearing for an excellent introduction to woodworking for those with little or no experience.

This is the best book in the related subject that I've found and I've read through many. Within minutes I knew I finally found what I was after. If you're looking for the fastest and simplest way to get into woodworking while making due with very little this is the way to go. YouTube helped me a lot as well, but there's no substitute for detailed instructions and plans.
