Hi -

I would start by looking at the tools you will use the most - and ensure you have good ones. Measuring, marking, layout is a good place to start. Sharpening is a gateway skill - make sure you have what you need (including books, video) to do that.

Buy what you need to support specific projects - avoid looking for what you might think you need down the road.

Stay away form big ticket items until you know you need it .... Consider used/antique tools until you have developed a method of work preference...

Cheers -
