How much do you think a first year team would have to spend on supplies?

We are thinking of getting some materials on Black Friday

For tools: Not knowing how much the power tools generally cost, I'd say about $100-$200 for hand tools. Possibly more.

Oh, and I forgot one tool: a tap set, but only if you are planning to make your own threaded holes without using self-tapping screws.
