Jim's list is comprehensive, but not everything on the list is necessary. There are a number of "nice to haves".

As Tim said, you want socket framing chisels. Not tang chisels and not parring chisels. I use all antique chisels(1.5 and 2"). Barr makes good new chisels.

For layout tools you only need a machinist square and a framing square. Starrett or Brown & sharpe for machinist(check Granger or McMaster Carr or Amazon). I like the Japanese made stainless framing square from Lee Valley. Won't rust when it gets wet- and it will.

For mallet, you want a hardwood mallet. You can make your own. I bought two turned South American hardwood ones from Foxmaple.com Mallet style comes down to personal preference.

Start with Just a 7 1/4 circ saw, and either a stanley sharptooth saw or japanese saw.

Start with the basics, and only buy what you think you need as you go along.
