In my experience, the "typical" hobbyist buys almost nothing brand

have will cost you more than the house you're putting all that stuff
in.

Then I'm not typical because the overwhelming majority of my buys have
been brand new. Then again, just about every serious woodworker I
know also bought primarily new. The cost of a pretty decent shop is
going to be in the neighborhood of $10K, if you can find a house for
that much, buy it.

Does that include the forklift?
