wood joinery, that is...
so far i think i roughly have one of three options...
1) the tradidional chisels set, hacksaw, rubber hammer... i sorta like
the abscence of that power tool noise and the "purity" of the artistry
in this option...
2) dremel multitool, which i don't know much about
3) several powertools, including a router
are those all the options i have for a kit or is there more... please
advise... and which do u recommend... thanks

When you're done trolling, go to the library and learn a bit.

I don't approve of political jokes. I've seen too many of them get elected.

No doubt, start with getting yourself a well made rubber hammer and
master it thoroughly: Study it, use it, feel it, think it . . . become
that rubber hammer.
From there (and I mean after a minimum of 3 years with the rubber
hammer) I recommend aquiring a hacksaw. Practically everything I've
ever constructed of wood I have done using only a hacksaw (and a
rubber hammer).
It sounds simple perhaps, but it can take a lifetime to master just
those two tools.
Good luck.

Now you know, someone is going to try this. Come to think of it, my
teeth are looking kind of dirty. Hmmm . . .

Man, you guys are bitchier than the wife every 28th day. If he's a
novice then advice here is just what he should be after. Either give
it or move on to the next post. This bitchin' about whether or not
he's a troll or not is worse than weeding through the all the vulgar
postings of late.

Power tools do not make noise - they make music. And... they mask that
ringing sound in your ears that accompanies the purity of artistry.

Dremel tools are useful for cleaning the plaque out from between your teeth,
but they're not really power tools.

See - you already knew the answer. You were just looking for that
confirmation, weren't you?

Oh heck no - there's whittleing knives, and all sorts of crafty things -
and... we haven't even touched on the artistry of chain saw carving

whatever else you end up getting, do this first.

nope. dremel stuff is way too light to move the amount of wood needed.

routers are great for precision wood removal. you'll be making a lot
of jigs.

a drill press is mighty handy.
With the level of knowledge displayed in the question I suggest you not use
anything sharp and follow Charlie Self's advice.

Don't laugh but I chipped a front tooth (very small chip but razor sharp)
used a new reinforced cut off wheel face on in my dremel to very carefully
smooth the chip off.....took only one second & made an perfect
job......don't try this at home LOL

I'm sure your wife would love to know you use HER as a yardstick for
judging those you disagree with. I wish her well. (and I offer her my
condolences)
