A good drill is key. It's silly to stick to one brand (many people have the bs brand loyalty fetish and I'm not sure why). You'll also want to get a variety of drill bits to go with drill. Go to garage sales and start hoarding nails, screws, etc at cheap prices.
My recommendations below are based on at least 5 hours of research and shopping around. There are some things I'd probably add to the list (like a hand saw and dremel) but this takes care of a lot of your big needs. I own everything on the list and am pleased with it all, especially in terms of a performance for value ratio.
The key is know what you want then shop around / wait for the best prices (track prices in spreadsheet). Use google shopping to compare prices and see who price matches plus has best ebates or Ibotta cash back % + consider buying gift cards at a discount on Raise or elsewhere to further maximize savings (or just go with whatever credit card gets best points on particular site). Add Google Chrome app "Honey" to have coupon codes auto applied (eliminates time searching for them).
Also, I'd strongly consider getting a credit card with a decent bonus that will essentially help you get these items for free (assuming you can achieve the bonus spend with money you're already paying on existing bills / monthly purchases - it's a no-brainer in this case) - Chase's Sapphire Preferred is a good place to start ($500 bonus for 4K spend in 3 months)
Consider waiting until Black Friday (and from Jan to end of feb) for the good deals.
Drill (get a decent to really good one - you'll use it often)
Circular Saw
Multi-tool
Miter saw
Respirator
Horse (the 'roided out version)
Sander (makes a huge difference): I've seen it in the low $40 range
A P100 dust mask. I went from months of lung recovery time to zero time needed for recovery. Playa is so small that our lungs can't easily clear the particles, suggesting that health problems similar to those cause by asbestos and silica may be in some of our futures. N95 and N99 masks are insufficient.
I suggest you wear one of these when you have you bussy in the air.
Elipse P100, hands down.

I've tried many different dust masks and this is the most comfortable and best value mask I've found. I've tired 2 different versions of the RZ and hate they way they fit. the 3M respirators are ok, and I have one of those with organic filters for painting, but the Elipse is the best for me, especially when wearing other safety gear, like glasses, and over the ear hearing protection.
I use this one because it's small, comfortable, and works well:

I know if I had a big bulky one, I'd be less inclined to actually wear it.
I also really like these disposable respirators because they're comfortable to wear for a long time, and I can toss them if I'm doing something really messy (and this is a good price, too):

Get some good safety glasses while you're at it:

I currently have a large beard and an RZ mask...my problem is it does fog the safety glasses and condensation builds up inside after a bit. I am thinking about this. GVS SPR457 Elipse P100 Half Mask Respirator, Medium and Large https://www.amazon.com/dp/B013SIIBFQ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_so95AbEHA8YM7 I pulled one out of a box at rocker and seemed pretty nice.. also only $25 there...
> if you have a suggestion that has worked for you I would love to hear it.
I've found this to be a lot more helpful, even if it's a little bulky. A full P100 mask is a big step up from an N99 Vogmask for me. It's also more comfortable to me. I just wish there was one that doesn't make me look like a bad Bane cosplay.

I use an elipse p100 for general dirty work. Unfortunately this won't do anything for vapor/fumes.
something like this?

Thanks!
This is for everyone else when OP inevitably uses the stuff in the woods because he can't find an actual safe place to use it.
Yes, especially with activated carbon as yours supposedly has, the elements only last so long and the carbon will react/ expend with use.
The activated carbon helps reduce odors. Another note, yours doesn't say how effective it is, just that its PM 2.5. Real respirators will have an efficiency such as N95, N99, or N100 that says how much PM2.5 they block.
Consider an upgrade with replaceable cartridges such as https://www.amazon.com/3M-MASK-RESPIRATOR-ASSEMBLY-MEDIUM/dp/B0082LIZYM
If you want activated carbon filters as an option.
Look at the miller electric/GVS elipse style if you dont like the round cartridges hanging out there https://www.amazon.com/GVS-SPR457-Elipse-Respirator-Medium/dp/B013SIIBFQ/
Also 3Ms cartridge guide will give you some general info and an idea of what different cartridges do

I can't really do that because all the guys would know it was me right away since they all are fine with the working conditions except me.
Also we're inspected like 6+ times a year by various organizations. The air quality is never brought into question. It's all just our tools/doors/vehicles/etc. So I feel like it's "just something you accept" with a job like this. Aside from getting a mask, I'm not 100% sure there even is anything you could do about this kind of shrapnel-based air in circulation.
I'll mark that mask recommendation though and I appreciate the link. In my other research I came across the M2 RZ MASK and the M2.5 RZ MASK which seems to be the same thing as the first just minus a strap. I feel like that mask is a good balance between the full-on double tank masks like this or this but is one step above (visually) the one you linked. Yours could be way better performance-wise than the M2 I linked, though. And it's cheaper so I have to take all of this into consideration since I work 7 days a week all day, so I'd probably burn through these things(filters) fast.
I would recommend building the fume hoods out of mild steel. If youre welding in a garage with no fume extraction thats no good. You can stick weld outside, or even with a fan blowing at you.

>PROCESS. SMAW (stick) stainless electrodes that provide chrome will have much of the chrome in the "hexavelent" form generated by the reaction of the chrome with the flux constituents in the electrode coating.
>Evaluations by the California Department of Health Services and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) indicate that the risk for workers is extremely high.
Im not trying to be a naysayer here, you just need to make sure before welding stainless you have fume extraction and a respirator wouldnt hurt.

This is the respirator i use at work for galvanized. Mines Miller but this ones the exact same. Im not really a huge a fan cause IMO its uncomfortable, but it does the job.
I love projects like this. Your furnishings feel much more your own, and they take on a sense of permanence you can't get with big box furnishings.
A heat gun and putty knives work very well to remove the stickers. Use a low setting, don't keep the heat focused on one area for too long and keep an eye out for browning, singeing, smoking, and fire. You've got lots of space to work with so skip around to allow the wood to cool. You'll potentially be removing whatever finish is on the couch if you are too heavy handed and or use too much heat. If you plan on refinishing use the heat gun and putty knife to remove the finish.
You can try just scraping with a razor blade to remove most of the stickers and then saturating the area with full strength degreaser, such as D-Limonene.covering the area with a paper towel to keep the degreaser in place.
A couple of razor tools to consider: 4" wide short handled for large areas with thick layers of stickers. Smaller razor scrapers with metal and plastic blades. Plastic detail scrapers might be useful too.
Instead of using Goo Gone I like pure D-Limonene solution. It's a potent degreaser extracted from citrus peels and contains no petroleum distillates, unlike Goo Gone. It also comes in food safe solution - though to be safe for digestion it really does need to be quite dilute.
Use the putty knife and rags or gauze to clean the adhesive from the wood. Large Woven Gauze Sponges are more scratchy and will give more traction with absorption. Rolled Stretch Gauze Bandages have the same great absorbing properties but they're softer and great for detail work. You'll get to know what you prefer - I'm partial to gauze sponges. They're cheap and I just toss them into the compost bin as long as they aren't too bummed up with adhesive top.
To remove the degreaser dish soap and rubbing alcohol work well. I like Dr Bronner's castile soap diluted for dishwashing. Wipe down with 90% Isopropyl Alcohol. You should be good to move on to your next step, probably sanding and smoothing, patching any holes or gouges to prep for staining and finishing or painting.
I linked a whole bunch of products to give you an idea of what will work for certain applications. There are definitely other ways to achieve the same goals, this is just how I tackle this task. Please don't order everything listed here at once, see what works from you. I link Amazon because they have everything but locally owned small businesses are an invaluable resource and great when you get stuck in a project.
Don't forget your PPE'S!
Dust Mask - I like this one as you can vacuum the filters out to extend the life and reduce waste. It has a smaller profile too - my husband actually doesn't complain about wearing it, just puts it on.
N95 Respirator
Replacement filters available on Amazon
Comfortable Safety Glasses or Goggles
Heat Resistant Gloves
Long Cuff Gloves Disposable
Some type of work gloves
