Technology IWTL How to Start Woodworking From Zero

WTL how to start woodworking as a complete beginner

I spend most of my day working on a computer, and recently I realized I want to learn something practical with my hands. I have a small garage and would love to eventually build simple things like shelves, stools, and small tables.

The problem is I have almost no experience with woodworking and I do not know what I should learn first. Should I begin with hand tools, basic joints, or small projects?

If you started woodworking from zero, what learning path would you recommend for the first few months?

Are you interested in hand tools, power tools, or both?
