For the kayak I built, you need:
a saber saw/jig saw (a cheap one from Harbor Freight Tools will do) $20
a random orbital sander and some sandpaper (You will use this a fair amount, so you'll want to spend the $90 for a good one.)
A drill (you probably have this already, but if not, a cheap one will do) $30
A block plane $30
a hammer (you probably have one already) $10
Some wire cutters $10
Bunch of disposable latex gloves to keep epoxy off your hands $5
A respirator is a good idea when sanding epoxy/fiberglass $20
Safety glasses $4
Ear muffs so the sander doesn't make you deaf. $5
A huge variety and number of clamps is helpful, but you can make your own from plastic pipes.
I had a $800 table saw that I used a few times, but you can get around it with just the jig saw.
