You didn’t mention the most important tool: a bench with a vise or “work
holding appliance”.
If you don’t have much room, I’d go for one of the old Moravian style
knockdown benches that were meant to bring to the job site before the days
of 4-square milled lumber.  These typically use pegged mortise construction
and are very sturdy.  I’d definitely start with something like that, and
then add whatever type of tooling you need for the type of work planned.
If you are only going to make spoons, you’ll want different kit than if you
are making guitars.
Cheers from New York City (full of a bazillion tourists)
