A drill press and a band saw are basic to a shop as is a belt/dick sander, air compressor and a few air tools. I have a "Crapsman" drill press, floor standing, and have used it to drill pin blocks using a slanted board arangement. My bandsaw of choice is _Inca_, a 10.5" model. I once had a 14" Delta and felt that that the Inca 340 was a much more refined machine. See if you can find it on sale somewhere, otherwise, it is expensive. Best wishes for the holidays!
