Learn to walk before you run... I started on a 1st. floor balcony with a drill and a sanding disc. (and a headstand)...

From then on it gets easier and better.

Try to establish a niche... pens, boxes, fancy cutting boards, furniture... that should dictate some of the priority tools. 
Please tell me you weren't wearing your Aussie style kilt when doing so. :)
