Beginning woodworking

A question I’m sometimes asked is how to get into woodworking, what tools I would recommend, where to start.
I can’t really make good recommendations as to what specific brands of tools are better than others. Most of my tools were opportunistic purchases, with little regard to specific brands. More often than not, it’s price and a quick inspection to gauge the solidity of the tool that are the determining factors. My tools are usually not among the best that can be had, but good enough.
This is pretty much my approach as well. I’ve amassed a pretty complete workshop of used, free, cast-off, or otherwise affordable tools that work well.
