I’d like to get into fine woodworking. It would seem the first order of business is to buy a circular saw to go with my drill and build a basic workbench then see if I even still like the hobby. No glue and clamps and such because it would seem I first need a workbench to build a fancy workbench.
Does that sound like a good start? If yes, can anyone provide me with some links for a good basic starter workbench considering the only flat surface I have right now is my garage floor? A bit more than basic so it lasts a few projects or more would be ideal.

I'd suggest going for a track saw setup over a basic circular if you can. Really happy with mine - went with the cheaper Makita version rather than the sweet Festool.
I made this portable torsion box bench setup. My saw sits in a cradle on the end rather than the bars like he does. Could do the whole build with a track saw, router, drill, and pocket hole jig.

You can find a ton of Paulk inspired bench builds on Youtube.
