Also interested in construction and crafting.

So im interested in making a closet. Similiar in the pic.

Any tips on newbies? Just looking for something to do with my hands stead of jacking off to cows...

I know some stuff about types of nails and hinges.

But for this project i just want it to be fire resistant.

That's a chieftains

As to getting started, look up videos on joinery.

Just so you know, wood working is an expensive hobby. Tools are expensive, there are countless chisels and saws. There's also several power tools that are quite useful, such as a router and circular saw. And you'll need squares. There are also several table based tools that are quite useful, such as a table saw and drill press. And clamps.

Not only that, but lumber is expensive, even if you made something like this out of pine it's going to cost you at least $80, if you use something like oak you can expect to at least triple that.

And if fire resistance is something you're really looking for, woods not the place to look.

Not trying to discourage you, wood working is very rewarding, but it's a challenging hobby to get into. The things you make are going to be sub par at first, it's expensive, it's time consuming, and it requires a lot of patience.

If you're dead set, look up joints. For something like your pic look up
Mortise and tenon
Box/Finger
Rabbet
Butt
Stiles and rails
