Jack,
Many experienced shapers will suggest you acquire skills before you acquire tools. I think it is good practice to acquire tools AS you acquire skills. I think an excellent way to acquire skills is to take classes. Near you north of Detroit is the great Ron Fournier who offers a very good introductory course. A more intensive series of classes if offered by Mark Gerisch in Green Bay. I've taken both and learned a lot from each.
