I would like to humbly add a few suggestions to the excellent advice you've already received.  There are many items one wouldn't consider a tool that I have added to my hobby tool box.  I've found that if I don't have the ideal tool for the job I just start thinking "outside of the box" so to speak.  I try fully understand what I'm trying to accomplish and start looking around for things I have available to do what needs to be done.   In my little Jolly Boat build I found Lego building blocks were perfect to square my frame members to the false keel.  I found a toothbrush is a must have.  I have many where I've shaped the head or shortened the bristles to fit my needs.  The flexible finger nail files are so versatile, you can trim them to exactly the width/shape you need.  Take your time, be patient and learn that the only stupid or dumb question you have is the one you don't ask.  As you can see, there are so many knowledgeable and experience builders here ever so willing to assist. 

Take care and be safe.
