No problem!
Here you go :)
A strop is only for honing (the final step to achieving a razor-sharp edge), while a whetstone could be used for anything from shaping the initial bevel to honing, depending on the grit.
If you do buy some Flexcut knives, which I highly recommend, you will probably only need a strop if you properly maintain them. In fact, they recommend you never use a whetstone and only opt for a Powerstrop if you neglect them for too long.
Many sites will recommend you buy tools one by one so you can get what you need, but as another beginner, I was extremely happy I purchased the Flexcut Deluxe Set. It was probably one more knife and one more palm tool than I needed, but it helped me understand what was out there and how to use them. A good, cheaper alternative might be this set.
No matter what you buy, one of the most important things to do from both a safety and usability (and enjoyment!) factor is to keep your tools as sharp as possible. That way it requires less force to move the tool through the wood, which is a common injury mechanism, and it makes it easier to create fun things. For the weird angles with V and gouge tools, I use another Flexcut invention. It works okay, but you can get the same results with folded sandpaper or other methods. I also bought a fullsize knife strop because it really does make a difference and you can get some with a lot more surface area. I haven't needed to buy a whetstone yet.
Also, I've since supplemented my starter set with Dockyard tools, which also come very sharp and keep their edge well. So far I've only used their micro tools, but I understand they have decent sets as well.
Speaking from unfortunate experience, you should definitely pick up a pair of kevlar gloves. I had a pretty serious hand injury (partially severed tendon) because I was just doing some touchups and wasn't using my gloves and got a bit sloppy. It only takes one single wrong stroke, and I had gotten complacent since I'd been so careful in the past. The gloves let me be more reckless and have definitely saved me from cuts, although they wouldn't protect against a stabbing cut. Thumb guards are also popular, but I don't actually like them very much. The gloves are nice because you can get a great grip on the tools.
When you have a knife or a set, you'll need some wood to practice on. I found ebay to be a great resource...just search for "basswood" and pick a few different sizes. 2x2x6 seems to be a good starting point to me. Make sure it is kiln-dried as well. Here is a good assortment that is pretty cheap. Butternut is another good choice, but for a beginner, I'd stick with basswood from personal experience.
Finally, if you are wanting a good book to introduce you to the subject, I'd recommend the Complete Book of Woodcarving. I've bought a number of books on the subject, but it is definitely the best if you are only buying one and need an overview to the entire craft. Old Time Whittling is only 30 pages, but gave some great examples and was very useful to me as well.

Welding gloves, motherfucker, do you wear 'em?
Seriously, they work amazingly well.
Just make sure you get stocked up.
Been using this for about 6 months. No problem holding gloves and I can quickly rip them off without fumbling with a strap. Really just personal preference at the end of the day.

Invest in some no cut gloves. I have this pair and while they're not indestructible, they will save your fingers from a glancing blow. I wear a pair of latex or vinyl gloves over them when i slice to keep the fabric from getting dirty.
I like ones like this
They are a lot thinner than most of the ones that my employers that required them would buy. With a thinner glove I was able to feel what I was doing better so my finer knife cuts didn't suffer as much.
If you want a chain mail one like the other guy posted, here is a cheaper option.
I've got a pair of Ironclad framing gloves, leaves main digits free for dextrous work are solid, running on close to two years and they are great.

That's probably because they're not touch screen (I'm assuming). The home button on the 7 uses the same touch screen response so only reacts to skin or certain gloves.
I actually used these to make my gloves touch screen enabled!

These are super cheap right now, I just ordered some more. They are great gloves but they do wear out.
What term are you?
You can also tuck them inside your jacket close to your body. I wear kinco lined gloves. They have lasted about a year. I'm Canadian but I take them off I think I'll get my hands wet and then dry my hands off and put my gloves back on. If you want something to work in all the time you'll need to have a rotation as mentioned.

That does seem like an expensive piece of kit - and if you do decide to return it and buy a cheaper model, Id recommend buying something like these (protective gloves!). They might seem like overkill, but even as a fairly experienced cook, using mandolins (even with the hand guard) gives me the heebie jeebies!!

Costco has good base layers for cheap, I double them up. I think they're called 32 heat or something. My setup goes like this..
-one or two layers of the 32 heat long underwear, depending on temp.
-sweat pants.
-heavy jeans or carhartt pants if you need lots of pockets.
-one or two long sleeve shirts
-a puffy down hoodless jacket or fleece. Like This. Buy one cheaper than this, it might get burned a little.
-A hoodie over it all. I have a carhartt FR so my jacket doesn't get trashed, and a bunch of freebies that I've gotten from companies.
Gloves and feet are the real pain in the ass.
I have a pair of steel toe red wings that I bought a size up and I wear 2 pairs of wool socks.
These are the gloves I wear when I need to do work that requires dexterity, and mitts for everything else. I keep both on me.
I also have a gaiter to cover my ears/neck.
Also, where do I snag a pink hoodie >:(
Try prying them off first but be prepared for breakage from the start. Just an idea, possibly use some spray glue to attach a plastic tarp to a few pieces at a time. Otherwise you can use tape and square off a couple feet at a time. Then some light taps with a hammer on a nail ought to break it into small workable pieces without causing a huge mess. Use some cut resistant gloves for removing the pieces, preferably into a sturdy cardboard box (the glass should be able to be recycled). Long sleeves, hat, pants, shoes and eye protection as well, and put down some cloth moving tarps, as those will catch and hold tiny glass chips without them bouncing off, and you can throw them out afterwards. Use a lint roller on your clothing to get glass particles out. See if you can get some of those shoe covers so you don't get any glass embedded in the soles.
The full leather ones are pretty warm. I have a pair of the gloves and mittens. I haven't had a day where I needed anything warmer. I wear the cloth-back ones the majority of the time though.
Though I'm not sure how available they are in Europe.
Always shop stuff around, especially for things that are not airsoft specific. AirsoftGI and their ilk make shittons off markup of simple items.

Really like my SERPA as well.
Ironclad Framer.
I like the cutoff index, middle, and thumb. Makes wrapping cable and tying tieline easy.
Just don't use them to load weight on a fly system. I learned that the
hardfun way.Another small handed individual here! These are the gloves I've grown accustomed to- https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00004XOHE/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1518891117&amp;sr=8-1&amp;pi=AC_SX236_SY340_FMwebp_QL65&amp;keywords=framer+gloves&amp;dpPl=1&amp;dpID=51YI88yQobL&amp;ref=plSrch
My only real qualm is that I have been able to wear them out with some very heavy use, but they are cheap so I just order another pair if I get to that point. They are an excellent fit for me personally, flexible but with enough support and structure to still be gloves. The main thing I'd look for, whether you go with this brand or not, are framers gloves. They are a hybrid between fingerless and full fingered, freeing your thumb, index, and middle fingers which gives you identical dexterity as if you weren't wearing gloves. It's perfect for working with small hardware. I do keep a full fingered set on hand as well for certain tasks, but the framer style is my go-to 90% of the time.
I just ordered these so I can't attest to their quality but their ratings are fine on Amazon.
thumb guard
gloves
These are the gloves I used: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00DN2GBW8
Sure! Get a large rubbermaid tub, a tube of silicone adhesive caulk, a couple wire coat hangers, and these gloves.
Cut holes in the tub to fit your arms, make rings from the coathangers just slightly larger than the holes. Cut the gloves the length you want them and curl the cuff around the wire. Use the caulk to glue the gloves in place in the box, and you're done!
I keep a can of clorox wipes in there to clean it out from the inside.
"framer" gloves are a good cheap glove that still leaves a couple of fingers and thumb free for more dexterity.

The people in the world cup are probably wearing these...
https://m.petzl.com/US/en/Sport/Packs-and-accessories/CORDEX
I like to wear one of these on my hand used to hold the piece, and one of these on the thumb of my knife holding hand.
You're out almost nothing, and you'll have some really great protection that wont hinder your dexterity.
That's a good one. My first purchase would be my gun, which I think my G36KV was an awesome choice two years later, but I don't know if I'd go for the full size G36 starting out.
Definitely wouldn't get that ill-fittimg PC I bought, instead would probably go for a chest rig setup. Surplus flecktarn sooner too, it's surprisingly cheap.
Everything, excluding shipping would be:
After than it would only be about $30 for a new inner barren and to r-hop that, bringing the total to $491. Battery, charger and ammo all excluded from the cost because to me "loadout" doesn't include them.
Regarding long gloves...
I use these when I'm moving lumber around or need to lift things. They're very thin and sticky, so I don't drop stuff and I don't get splinters. That said, as countless others have mentioned, take them off when you're operating power tools.
"Catch, grab, and pull" No loose hair, clothing or gloves.
It's not like it comes up halfway to the elbow, just a bit higher up the arm.
Another option is welder's gloves! These are under $11 (Prime) for a PAIR! And these extra length gloves are $16.50 (again, Prime) also for a pair.
I suspect you could find the welding gloves cheaper at a local hardware store. I bought the welding gloves based on Alton Brown's recommendation, but the Ove Glove and Pitt Mitt have better dexterity, so I prefer them for oven use.

These cheap, durable, textured, and LONG. Not incredibly heat resistant; I can reach into the mash and be Ok, but not the boil.
Not ready to just ditch my carboys, but I have been knocking the idea around getting some gloves for brewing. It would be nice to get something that provides protection from hot liquid, grip, and puncture resistance in case I drop a carboy. Preferably elbow length. I was looking at something like this.
Chain mail and some other metal work. Welded a tree out of scraps in the shop recently, but this is what I'm proudest of so far. I started doing this at a call center job, making the rings from scratch and just playing around until it looks like I wanted.
these would help me make some really nice jewelry.
these would help me keep making sturdier things like gauntlets and other armor.
these would help keep my hand intact for other things Ill be welding.
Don't get a fucking hammock unless they're hunchbacks.
A couple of [goodass headlamps](http://www.amazon.com/dp/B004BBR2EG?_encoding=UTF8&amp;psc=1&amp;s=
)
Or if that's too expensive, get a couple pairs of goodass mechanix gloves
these are my favorite. They are like the ones u/sluttyjamjams73 recomeded but knited, and lined. They suck if the lining pulls out (which it will), but they are warm, and even when wet. And at less than 10 bucks, and you can often find them at gas stations and hardware stores, I stock up when I find them.
Pro tip for dealing with feral cats: Welding gloves.
Best 20-30 bucks you'll ever spend.
not chain mail.

I have a pair I use in the kitchen when cutting a lot of stuff by hand or using the mandolin. Cut myself once on the mandolin - never again. You ever seen those videos where they take a knife and do a nice clean thin cut of a vegetable to show off how sharp it is, ya that happened to my thumb.

They look like these
You can't do much about the cold unless you have heated water in your buckets (perhaps even bucket heaters to keep the water warm). You just need to keep your skin dry, so you'll want long cuffed gloves. Something like these work. I don't personally have those, just been eyeing them. I bought a similar pair from a restaurant supply store (of all places lol). I'd make sure they are the right size because if they are too big, you'll lose hand dexterity.

Build a glove box. You'll need some duct tape, a large clear plastic container, something to cut plastic with, and a couple large gloves like these.
tucking them in my belt takes just a little longer than i would like. I have googled most things like that and found nothing that seems as quick and easy and i would like.
This seems like the best option so far and very close to what i think im after http://www.amazon.com/Lightning-Reflective-Firefighter-Extrication-Alligator/dp/B00OM231B2
I could always just make something from paracord i guess.
Mechanix Mpacts in coyote. Here they are on amazon. Great price and quality gloves.
Be sure to double check your size. I tend to go a size smaller. They also sell these at most auto parts or big box hardware store where you can go and try on some different sizes.
I have heard these, or ones like it, reccomended all the time
I'm not sure of the brand, but there is a glove made of stretchy fabric with a thin layer of rubber on the palm and fingers. Something like this: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00KAK5FNM/ref=cm_sw_r_awd_v8zYub040Z05E
I'm looking to get my own pair of light duty gloves in place of what I was issued at my school. Does anybody know if the gloves have to conform to any certain standard? Was thinking about these but they're not the same color as the issued pair. I'm 100% new to ROTC and the military in general so I have no idea about anything.
