I highly recommend checking out estate sales for dirt-cheap, high quality woodworking tools and equipment. A lot of this stuff is built to last. Once you get past the old looking appearances, you will appreciate having spent 10 cents on the dollar for things you use once in a while to do great things in the shop.

+1. I used to feel creepy about going through some dead guy's stuff. I was having a beer with my old tool dealer (Dave Paling, long since passed on, unfortunately) and mentioned that to him. He fixed me by saying: Dave: "Larry, who do you want to have your tools when you die?" Me (instantly): "Someone like me, someone who will use them and take care of them." Dave: "And that's why you don't need to feel creepy, he'd be happy you got them."
