Handhelds...a drill (if you dont have one), a random orbit sander,router,circular saw,jig saw,and a biscuit jointer. Buy the best you can afford, and buy them as you need them, you might find a niche and not need some of the ones mentioned ever. The most important power tool in any shop is your brain, always work with a clear head, and think through each operation thoroughly before you do it.If it seems unsafe, it probably is.And remember...eyes are valuable, wear good safetyglasses. Enjoy your new hobby!
