If you have a mill, you can get by with a straightedge and a sharpie. If you don't have a mill though I highly recommend this router and either the 5D Pro jig, or the Modulus Extreme jig.
This $99 Makita compact router has served me very well and is surprisingly useful for it's size. You'll probably want to add a bigger router in the future, but you'll still grab this one for a bunch of tasks. https://www.amazon.com/Makita-RT0701C-1-1-Compact-Router/dp/B00E7D3V4S

make 5 identical plywood boxes.
you'll probably need additional tools to construct this.
if you can afford it, the makita 1-1/4hp router and a whiteside 1/4" upspiral bit are the only two additional tools necessary to construct both the boxes and drawers. use a straight edge for the guide.
if you want to go with hand tools only, you'll need a rabbet plane.
