I'd really love to start making something, even if it's basic. Any tips on where to start? Tools, wood, etc?

The easiest way to learn how to design furniture is to copy existing designs, then tweak them slightly to better fit your style. After a while, you'll learn how to incorporate different designs into a nearly original piece.

Copy copy copy until you understand what you like, and what works functionally.
