Hey welcome to the forum!
So unfortunately (or not depending on how much you like to read) there’s not a magic shortcut list. There are great guides to getting started which can get you pointed in the right direction, but when it comes down to it you’ll just pick things up as you go.
Like say your first idea is to make coasters. Well search the forum for “coasters” to see what’s been done and pick up tricks. Done with your coaster project and want to engrave a photo? Search for “engraving photo” and read read read, it’s a hugely deep topic and you’ll be amazed at the variety of ways to skin that cat.
Don’t know what project to try first? There’s an entire section called tips and tricks, just browse it and read anything that looks interesting!
Anyway, you’re in for a fun learning curve. Just take each challenge as it comes and you’ll be making all kinds of stuff in no time.
