The best place to get it explained is on youtube- plenty of vids there to watch.
For the tools you need antler or copper tools. If you have no access to antler- you can buy copper tools online. You could trade for tools or rock in the "trading post" section of this forum. You can also buy rock online. I suggest obsidian for a beginner. Be sure to wear safety glasses and gloves!
