What is the simplest set of tools I can buy if I want to make semi-decent DIY furniture from wood/cardboard? E.g. drawers, shelves, possibly desks/stools.

Saw's, make your own mallet, clamps, planers, chisels, hand drill.
Personally I prefer a miter saw and circular saw. Drills help too.
Just built that a few weeks ago.

That's about as simple as I can get unless you really feel like chiselling out mortis and tenon joints.

Knife + Glue
Maybe $3.50 total
just the knife if you go with some advanced joinery origami style construction
glue can be made from flour and other bs

Hijacking thread so I don't need to create new one: I'm working with a few designs relying on large 4x8ft plywood cut down to smaller but still big flat pieces. Currently using an electric jigsaw (and table & clamps, plus hammer & nails, OP) down at my schools workshop. I want to work at home but I don't really want to invest in power tools. 2 questions: is using traditional saws realistic or is it a lot of extra workload? And which type of saw would be recommended?

Get a circular saw...that and a guide clamped onto it will cut just as straight as a table saw...
It'll just take longer...

Hoping to avoid power tools in general. Not just about saving money

Sounds like hand tools are not that great for plywood.
