find someone who is a local cabinetmaker and see if they have boards that are going to a dumpster or they need to clean out. those guys typically use stuff like birch, cherry, walnut and oak which are all great to start with and usually in small "shorts" boards which are easy to just go toss in your car.
don't buy wood through Woodcraft and their tools are just OK. you can find the deals online. if you need a hand getting a tool list together i can steer you a bit.
i really didn't get into this in earnest until about 6 months ago and i started with very few decent hand tools and a couple old or handed down power tools. my current stuff still isn't anything special. you need a few primary tools and the rest are only necessary for specialized stuff as you get more skill.
