When it comes to the woodworking: a japanese pull saw ( https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_saw ) is a great and fairly cheap way to get started. It enables high accuracy and is still quite fast.

Then you'll need a cheap but sturdy table, a hand plane, some vices, a tape measure, a carpenter's square, a cheap cordless drill. Screwing and glueing is the best way to get solid joints for a novice.
