I’d really love to start making something, even if it’s basic. Any tips on where to start? Tools, wood, etc?

I’d recommend the following set of tools:

  • Cordless drill (any major brand is fine, I like Milwaukee)
  • Hand pull saw (whatever is fine)
  • Set of decent chisels (Narex is great value)
  • Corded circular saw (Makita 5007F is a great choice)
  • Random orbital sander (DeWalt has some fairly good budget models)
  • Clamps, clamps, more clamps

Most of all though, get good wood. I actually strongly recommend starting with plywood primarily if you don’t have access to quality lumber since you won’t have to do any surfacing.
