Get a big tool chest first, you can use it as a table, and still store all the tools you'll be getting, until you can get a real table

Check out the Salvation Army stores or some kind of thrift shop. Any of those ones where people can donate stuff usually have some furniture back behind all the old clothes.

goodwill, salvation army...cheap stuff!



and the rule is, if you get a spool, you must have an orange road cone



when my dad first moved out after my parents got divorced, he had a couch with pull-out bed, and a TV on a milk crate. He pulled the mattress out of the couch and slept on it, so you sank down when you sat on the couch.
