Yes, the radio is important and some good progranes as well. Dont listen to news, the guitars get frustrated. CD players suck, they die within a short time. They cant take the dust, so a MP3 player is a cool tool. I build my first with more or less the tools the Doctor mentioned. I would add a very nice whittling knife to sharpen pensils and other little things, and I actually cut the heel with a knife. Remember to buy good sharpening stones and LEARN how to use them. I recommend Japanese stones. You can get along with relatively cheap chisels and planes, what matters is that they are sharp and well adjusted. A Lie-Nielsen is equaly bad as a chinchong if its not sharp and well adjusted. Get the first online apprendice lessons on CD rom . I its a good source to use with Nathelson and Cumplianos book
