That's going to severely limit what you can do - virtually no power tools, bar maybe a drill. And a jigsaw with good blades

 

A well laid out workbench with a good vice and lots of hand tools - good, sharp saws (hand, dovetail, back and coping) an assortment of chisels, from 6mm to 25mm with a couple of comfortable mallets. Kreg jig for joinery.

What Pants said^

If you are going to get the shop to do most of your cutting then make sure they leave you some room to use the hand tools to sneak up on final dimensions.

The plus with hand tools is they make more shavings and less dust than power tools so its easier to clean up.

If you are looking at chisels then Narex at toolcraft will be your best friend, the quality vs price is amazing and I love mine.

I also have a japanese saw that I bought from them and I find I seldom reach for any of the other saws because the jap is just so accurate and easy to use.

Maple and Imbuia

 

Looking back through the results we know that the top pen is Beech, it's the dark wood we're after.

 

Beech and Stinkwood. Kiaat.

The other machine I could not live without is a compressor.

Planning a leg vise. But will probably source some of the hardware from Toolcraft.

And maybe an end vise as well if I can keep the costs down.

Try Toolquip and allied - they have a website but their catalog is a beast.

Thanks for the response guys! I should probably start with a book and a workbench. I live in a flat so I will need to do the majority of my sawing at the timber shop unfortunately.

 

Have a look at "Milkman's Workbench" on Google Images. I'm not sure why a milkman gets a special bench, or even what he's going to do on it, but there you are. They're quite cunning, especially for a flat. Chuck it in the back of the cupboard.

My goto hardware store: MegaMica in Eastgate is having a Ryobi sale at the moment, if you are so inclined

So after finally being done with the restoration of an old disc belt sander, I quickly finished this R35 bevel.

Can also be a worm hole that you may struggle to get back out of.....
