if you build a kit plane from the plans then most if not all of the wood is already cut out,if you are going to scratch build from plans then with the limited amount of building experience and tools I think you'll be fighting a losing battle but you'll need the wood and glass parts,band saw,razors,drills,sguares.I do not buy prints unless they are from a reputed seller,most on the web are copies which to me is thieft.
