I don't know how serious you are about this yet, or even what you plan on building. First off it is an expensive hobby, don't buy cheap tools, try to buy the best tool you can at the begining. A couple of sources for information besides BT3central would be
www.woodcentral.com or the forums at
www.forums.woodnet.net. Woodnet has a tendency to sometimes be a little rougher crowd.
Stay away from craftsman powertools. Grizzly has some decent machinery at a cheap price, look to them for your jointer and such. There are a lot of tools I could list for a shop, start small and add from there. A dust collector should be the first thing you buy maybe a 1100 cfm to start or one of the expensive cyclone models from onieda (2hp dust gorilla).

The worst part is that this is only the tip of the iceburg, and there is more then what I listed here. Good luck and make sure you check out the forums I listed, another one would be sawmill creek.
