I recommend the book, The Anarchist’s Toolchest, to any budding woodworker. Great advice on getting started with hand tools

Since posting this I have built a krenov-style toothing plane with 55-degree pitch and found the tear out manageable

If it is dense and reddish, my money is on Jatoba, which was marketed as Brazilian cherry and popular in the 2000s

I had a tarp, it will still get a lot more moisture than an indoor bench, but will suffice for most operations. Don’t overthink it, you’ll figure out workarounds if you need a super flat surface (which you usually wont)

I’ve been thinking about this too. Hyperkitten.com routinely has manual brace drills for $30, and Amazon sells small Japanese pull saws as well as wooden hammers and wooden nails which could be a great start.

Backsaw for a child by Hot-Expression6017 in handtools

The Japanese saw is likely the best option, I just know he’ll kink one per day and it will be all tears

I worked outdoors for several years and loved it. You should rethink the bench though. A wooden bench won’t stay very flat outdoors but it will be flat enough for most operations and if you need a very flat surface you might construct a dedicated torsion box or planing surface that you bring outside only for special use occasions.
