I am further north than Glenn. Still if you want to come to the Ventura County beach, I'll be happy to help you out. I am a blended woodworker. I do stock prep with power tools, but any semi-sophisticated joinery is done with hand tools.
Others have given you sound advice. The only thing I might add is some technique projects. One could be a box. To make this, you'll have to master square and straight. It needn't be dovetailed, but well done rabbets / rebates will give you necessary practice without a lot of material.
