Make some stacking saw horses.
Buy tools as you need them and buy the best you can afford.
I still use a B&D circular saw I bought 30yrs ago and straight pieces of timber as a guide with some clamps to cut sheets down.

I don't have a bench as such, but like tusses, i have a decent outfeed table.
I did buy a couple of vices but have not found the need for them and they are dumped under the RAS.
I do have a couple of planes but can't see how to plug them in so they done see much action.
Now chisels are used to scrape glue squeeze out from internal corners and a not so sharp one is good for scraping dried glue off the outfeed table But if you machine joints properly they dont need adjusting with a chisel
So Rob there is nowt wrong with your way of woodworking and you turn out excellent stuff but it is not the ONLY way to work wood.

Tusses, thanks very much looking forward to seeing it.
Found this one a guy made for a few pounds on youtube:
Edited to try and make link work:

Any ideas why the "YouTube" function thingy doesn't work for me?
MOD Edit (TrimTheKing) : I've fixed it for you, the only bit you need in between the tags is the random number/letter sequence at the end of YT links. In your case, this bit "cu5UU10F7NQ". Cheers.

As ever, horses for dooberies, but your's is an engineering approach whereas I come at stuff from a different perspective. The bench allows me to use hand tools on parts of a project where it's extremely difficult or almost impossible to achieve the same result with machines alone:
Detailed rasp and shaping work on the leg profiles, 'Birds Mouth' mortise and tenons, wedged, raised and profiled mortise and tenons in the leg; shaped and made with a Jap paring chisels, shaped and fitted cross rail. All almost impossible to do without a proper bench, hand tools and the holding facilities that a good bench provides - Rob
