Jet mini lathe -- also the bed extension if you feel flush. Allows you to through drill a BIG needle easily.
Decent turning tools - don't skimp here.
grinding station. also a good grade wheel. - probably a grinding jig to help hold the tool for a good edge every time.
Drill press fit your budget with this one.
Good set of drills - nail point and maybe forstner bits.
band saw. again fit your budget.
sanding tool - combo belt and disk is OK.
Dust removal system.
Air rush and compressor.
Paint station exhaust system ( if you want to live long)
Initial investment -- about 900 bucks
Now go out and buy all the plugs you need for about 20 years and you will still be ahead of the curve.
Good luck and join the club! Catching on your own wood --- Priceless !!
