Can I learn woodworking at home alone?

I want to learn woodworking. I can spend a thousand or two on some introductory tools. Once I get better, I will gladly spend more. I am in my early 30s. I have no experience. Can I learn this skill on my own? Are there any good books, videos, etc? Or does one need to apprentice under an expert? I want to start small but I would like to work my way up to advanced levels. Any advice?


---------------------

-If you truly have NO experience, I would suggest taking a few classes first to get familiar with the tools and make sure this is something that you really want to do. While woodworking is an awesome thing to do, it is not for everybody and the tools can be rather dangerous, especially if you don't know how to use them.

-yes you can. you'll make a few mistakes but you'll learn from them. Read and watch videos all you want but there's no substitue for actually putting blade to wood.
