The important thing with woodworking is to start small. It's all too easy to visit the local DIY store and be seduced into acquiring large and expensive tools. Steer clear of this temptation and concentrate on an essential set of tools that will allow you to try out some simple woodworkers plans without breaking the bank. Once you're at ease with them, and you're still enthusiastic about woodworking, then think about buying some larger tools.
The basic equipment you'll require are a screwdriver, a hammer, a selection of chisels, a hack saw, a try square and a decent, stable workbench (probably your biggest primary outlay) and some clamps.

For power tools you'll probably only require a drill and a jigsaw, and even if you find woodworking isn't your thing, you'll find all of these tools handy in the future. If your budget allows, you might also consider buying a circular saw and perhaps a hand plane or two. You may not be able to produce the finest furniture in the world with these things, but you will be able to create something practical and worthwhile.
Even within this small collection of tools, the prices and grades of them can vary substantially. Conventional wisdom suggests that the more expensive ones will last you a longer time, but that isn't always the case. If you are just starting out, it's in all probability best to go for the lower end of the spectrum. If you find them unsatisfactory at a later date, you'll know it's time to begin spending more money on your hobby.
