Tips & Instructions For A Complete Beginner

[Life Long Learner]

Are there any videos and / or discussions for those who have never built a balsa wood plane?
I found a list of recommended tools but would appreciate tips and details on the best way to proceed.
Thanks!

There are several useful videos on youtube.com. Some are in fast-motion but you can slow them in settings. You can spend a fortune on tools but the essentials are, for the most part, available on Amazon or from your local Walmart.

Thank you for your reply. Much appreciated.
For reasons unclear, I never received a notification of your reply even though I checked the box.
Glad I checked back!

I bought a Walmart toenail clipper which is a curved bill side cutter. It has a lifetime replacement policy. Now that I've been using it for several days I can highly recommend it. It's primary use has been to precision cut stringers.
