MonsterMag,

A lot can be done without expensive or fancy equipment. These are some of the items I think are important, I'm sure others will jump in with there own items.
A band saw, sander, router, and drill press will go a long way. As you advance a lathe can be very useful and a dremel tool is very helpful. get some plumbers putty and sanding sponges and set up a clean area away from dust for painting and epoxy coating. If you plan on using an airbrush, you will need a compressor and depending on the hose length a couple of moisture traps. A large pickle jar for sealing the wood and you will be on your way.
Best of luck,
MS
