If you know what you are doing you just need three turning tools, a 3/4" roughing gouge, a 1-1 1/2" skew, and a parting tool. Buy HSS, Sorby is worth the premium price. If you are not used to turning, the skew will be a nightmare (though with a good spindle turning video you can learn quickly) and you might want to start with a square and round nose scraper, or a hybrid tool called a spindle gouge which is very easy to use and will work like a skew without catching (but leaving a slightly ribbed finish which you can sand off). You also want to buy a good paddle, because you will be up the creek without one once your wife realizes what you are spending on your new hobby.
