I want to start working with wood.
I have some projects in mind, big stuff mostly. Carport next to house, terrace, maybe a set of stairs to the attic, while it's being turned into a living space.
What essential (power) tools do I need? I'm trying to work out the budget I will need.
So far I'm thinking planer (jointer) to turn planks smooth, maybe thickness planer too.
What kind of saw would be most useful to start with?

I salvaged some wood logs that the city left along the side of the road. They’re mostly quite wet and all about 4 to 8 inches wide. How can I dry these out without a kiln? I’ve heard the wood needs to be sealed at the ends to dry evenly but I want to avoid using polymers. Any alternatives?
