I hate ta say it but you have to look at more like $2.000 and up for
a shop,

Tablesaws:

http://www.grizzly.com/products/item.aspx?itemnumber=G0444Z <<<

Drill press:

http://www.grizzly.com/products/item.aspx?itemnumber=H0626 <<<
The latter is two tools in one, it adds oscillation which is an up and
down movement of the spindle for use as a drum sander, bench top
mounted.

Jointer:

Router and bits and table, band saw (negligible), electric hand drill or
two, definitely a workbench, hand chisels set, drill bit sets of at least
four different types (brad point, regular jobbers, spade bits, forstner bits),
make sure they are "high speed steel" except for the spades. And a book
all about sharpening, stones, files etc., (Leonard Lee wrote it).

A band saw is not supremely important unless you will be owning a
lot of lumber and need to re-saw it to thinner boards, sometimes. As
for cutting curves, a hand jig saw or a tabletop scrollsaw would replace
it.

And on and on it goes. I know I could do it, but I live in an apartment,
so I go to the local adult ed. shop for $10 per class, they have really
incredible equipement there. You could have the other half read this
whole thread, too. I'd say around $2,500 minimum. Ain't much.
