Most of the references I've seen to people doing hot stamping was with the use of an arbor press - mechanical vs electronic but also can be had for a lot less money. I hot stamp my 2inx2in logo on projects and just use a quick set hand clamp!
Amazon - arbor press
That would be a tool holder holding a cutting tool mounted on a cross slide vice like the other poster said, usually used for metal work. If you wanted to use wood tools by hand you would need a tool rest to mount in a holder. It looks like you may have the holder for that, on the bed, between the vice and tailstock, turned around backwards, its partially hidden by the wood so I can't tell.
You mentioned a drill press. I have a very similar setup to you. Small workbench in my condo garage. I got this drill press and have been very impressed. It's not good for construction tasks, but for the small projects and tinkering I do it has been great, and doesn't take up much room.
EURO TOOL (DRL-300.00) Bench-Top Drill Press https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0058ECQX2/ref=cm_sw_r_awd_1bbKwbSY9Q4ZE
Also, kudos on the project. Turned out better than my first couple have for sure. I like the scales.
Same here. I have this guy that I bought used on craigslist, and I used it exactly once. The guy I bought it from said he only used it once also.
On that note, anybody in the ATL wants this, you can have it for $150. Very lightly used.
Yessir, this one
There's a place by me here in Maine, that does classes and has plans, I've only bought a few hand tools from there but you can check out their website and see if it helps. Shelter Institute . I did a timber frame job this summer and we got to use one of these , came in pretty handy if you are doing a lot of mortising.
Proxxon makes a bitchin' mini press...

I'm pretty sure I bought this basic drill press and it seems to work just fine for me.

I've bought several things from Amazon for the shop, and they're just the sorts of things that /u/abnormal_human suggests; Woodcraft also sells through Amazon, so you can get some decent hand tools that way, but that's not really "amazon" per se. For a recent birthday my wife went a little nuts on my Amazon wishlist and I received two waterstones, a lapping plate, and this shoulder plane - very extravagant gifts.
Amazon is also a pretty good place to shop for some woodworking machinery if you want to buy new and especially if you happen to have Amazon prime; free delivery on a drill press or a band saw can be kind of a big deal. Those are on my "dream shop" wish list...not going to happen any time soon, but if I can't dream on the Internet...where can I?
Another neat thing that I didn't know about until recently is camelcamelcamel which is an amazon price tracker. Companies adjust their retail price on amazon all the time, and you can set thresholds at which you would like to be notified. For example, here is the price history for the drill press I linked above. Helps to see if it's a good time to buy, or if you should maybe wait.
Have fun!
After some searcing for my own machine, I found that with drill presses it is all or nothing. Small bench top unites are woefully underpowered and tend to be pretty bad in terms of quality. Also the throat clearance is so small it really limits its usefulness. However there are good ones out there but you will pay for it, which is the other catch. You either pay 300 or more or else you get junk that will be nearly useless.

for example. Both around 26" tall.
Glad to hear people are getting good results with a 6 ton & detached plates. Just bought this yesterday for $99 to upgrade my highfive press, its plates/controller are great, but the press leaves something to be desired when unmounted & the press bar should of been mounted on both sides, not 1 & had a central handle for better pressure distribution.
