Robert Sorby tools are what I use. 1 inch skew and 3/4 inch gouge. You might get some cheap ones to start with to get you through the learning process. Rather than goggles, get a full face shield. The first time you screw up and a chuck of plug comes at your face doing 300 mph, you'll be glad you got the shield. Get a respirator for wood dust too. Sandpaper: 60 grit, 100 grit, 150 grit. As for wood, whatever you have around to get you started is good. Poplar is pretty cheap at Homies or other similar stores.
Start with poppers. The rustoleum paint will do fine. Pick up some boiled linseed oil and mineral spirits. Mix 60% linseed to 40% spirits for sealing plugs. Njtackle.com has grommets, wire, weights, lips and other stuff.
