Answer 1

Off the top of my head...

Balsa wood planes are fun to make and you can use simple hand tools to make them. You don't need much more than a small saw, utility knife and some glue to get started.

If you have a miter saw or even a miter box with a stiff-back saw you can make a lot of things - boxes, picture frames, planters, etc.

Chisels are good for carving and shaping, so small detailing accent pieces - decorations for cabinets, etc. Keep them sharp and be careful not to cut yourself!

With a regular hand saw you can make tables and benches pretty easily. A coping saw can do fine detail.

There's tons of things you can do without power tools. For some inspiration, check out the link below for The Woodwright's Shop. He makes everything with hand tools only - usually vintage ones. It's kinda fun to learn how they did it in the "old days".

Answer 2

Shelves are pretty easy to make, and they can be handy.  Try a small set of book shelves.

Answer 3
