Mike's advice, IMO, is excellent and "sort of" the way I got started myself. The only "big" mistake I've ever made was the purchase of a wood lathe many years ago: I wanted it so bad I could taste it, was a new homeowner, and had all sorts of ideas for projects. Long story short, yesterday, approximately 26 years hence, I finally dis-assembled it and put it into storage. The ONLY usable thing I ever made on it was a set of coasters for drink glasses. Oh, and some of my foster kids have enjoyed just making round "things" out of square scraps they glued up, but that's it. So, I guess what I mean is, yeah, don't wait until you absolutely must have something to buy it, but give fair consideration to what you'll buy next BEFOREd it's become a necessity. In my case, having the basic tools as you pretty much do now, I learned as I went along what my next tool should be as I became disenchanted with making, say, blink dadoes for shelves on the table saw. Finally bought a cheap router, & wow! Much faster, better. Now I have a good one - bought the same way - the cheap one just wasn't capable of the tools etc. that I needed and after a few work-arounds, well, ... . Now, I wouldn't ignore lists of tools, etc. from people either, because they might point out things you hadn't thought of or didn't realize were available. Just remember, it's YOU that needs to be satisfied; all anyone else can do is suggest and give opinions. As for a planer and jointer and the like I'd say that unless you have a nearby teacher/advisor and LOTS of known needs (not just wants) for either, you should wait until you have the knowledge and experience under your belt so that you won't need to ask "which is better" and so on - you're lots more apt to get a tool that fits your needs and your budget. I always dreamed of having them too, but the actual, verifiable, tangible requirement for them has neve arisen; partially because I have a small shop, which means no room for them, but, ... not the budget either. Now, if you've got lots of money and a cow barn you can make a shop in, have at it!
