Beginner team, where to begin?

I have the opportunity to pre-purchase some supplies for the next season for a team that is just starting out.

All they have is the KOP from last year and some small quantity of hardware.

They have *no* metal shop, no machining tools, no metal stock, and no spare parts.

They do have an abundance of wood and wood related tooling.

My budget is just under $1000.

What would be your priorities and ordering sequence? For instance, I *might* be able to get a used bridgeport mill for 1000$- but that would be it.

Suggestions dearly wanted.
