Starting from scratch

[srh3trinity]

After years of apartment living, I finally have a house with a two car basement garage and a nice area for a little shop. I am looking around and planning future PT projects but in the meantime I am going to need to outfit my garage with the necessities. I will be buying hobbyist quality tools (think Craftsman). I am not going to be doing any fab work, I really just need to get started with the basics for a weekend hobbyist. Anybody care to run down a list of tools that would be high yield that I should start with beyond the basics (good screwdrivers and sockets/ratchets/wrenches). Also, if you want to comment on how large of an air compressor I would need starting out that would be helpful. Anything you would do differently if you were starting over again? Tools you have bought that you never use? Other thoughts?
