Hey everyone! I'm completely new to woodworking and I'm looking for advice on where to begin. I have a basic understanding of power tools, but I'm not sure which ones I should invest in or what easy projects I can start with to build my skills. Any recommendations would be really appreciated. Thanks!

For a solid start, you should definitely get yourself a circular saw or even better, a track saw, along with a drill and driver set. These will cover most basics. Think of picking a simple project like a workbench or a table, as they provide a sturdy surface to work on. Trust me, this setup will get you going!
To kick things off, I suggest choosing a project that excites you! This will help you figure out which tools you'll need. Check out YouTube; there are tons of great woodworking videos out there that can guide you through your first steps. Woodworking for Mere Mortals is a fantastic channel if you're looking for beginner-friendly projects and tool suggestions.
A workbench is a smart choice! You can use it for many other projects down the road.
