shipping from ebay depends on where you are but shouldn't be more than $60 so we factor that in:
560.97
build your own bench (not going to take the time to go into details but it shouldn't cost more than $500 for materials
so now you have
999.03 left to get whever else you want (more marking gages? switch some of the above for better stuff? spoke shave? cabinet scraper? router plane? brace and bit?)
You could get better prices for the ebay stuff above if you were patient that's just what's out there right now. the above is more than enough to do 90% of handtool projects though. Just watch those compound curves ;)

I'm a big fan of this method. Was one of my first projects I did using chisels, I'm a newbie too. Made one of these with 1" pine, 4" harbor freight vise, and $20 Irwin wood vise. I have found I use the wood vise a lot more than the machinist vise. Even non wood things.

I bought this vise because it's low profile. I attached some scrap 1x4 to it as jaws and it works great. It's no plumber's pipe vise but it hasn't let me down yet.
