I'm in the process of building my first FPV drone with my 11 year old son. Tools I owned or have purchased for this are:
A set of small screw drivers. I found a set in the bargain bin at NAPA Auto that had straight, philips, a few hex, a few sockets.
A decent electronics soldering station. Not the gun. I have a digital Weller that is easy to control, but the analog is just as good for these purposes.
A third hand. There are many different kinds. I got a cheap $5 one at Harbor Freight. Not great, but does the job.
Solder, de-soldering wick, flux (maybe)
Depending on where you're doing your work, might want an air-filter or fan.
A magnifying lamp is helpful but not necessary.
An assortment of board stand-offs/spacers is handy.
A good small pair of wire snips.
Wire stripper
A digital multimeter is not a bad idea.
Those are all the major tools you might need. Plus all the drone parts. batteries/charger. Radio/receiver. Camera/receiver(goggles or screen).
In short, it's a lot of stuff. The drone parts end up being the least expensive part, honestly.
Above links are just examples, not necessarily endorsements.
You mentioned you're on a budget, which I totally understand. Building is not the cheapest route, but it's been a lot of fun so far. People who've done it for a while tend to forget the cost of tools. Once you've built one, subsequent drones are relatively cheap. You can re-use batteries, the charger, most decent radios, even the receiver.
If you're not in a hurry, Bangood is a good source for cheap(er) parts. You're on your own for support, usually, but there's lots of help out there.
Hand tools! Laser cutters are fun, but sometimes you just need a utility knife. Every maker space starts without the right hand tools.
Here are the hand tools I keep in easy reach. This is all for small and tiny stuff that I work on at my desk. Bigger tools are in the garage or at my maker space.
Then there are two more drawers of electronics tools which are kind of specialized.
Edit: and you can never have enough sandpaper nor enough variety of sandpaper. Makerspaces go through sandpaper like Kleenex.
Sure, according to my Amazon history it's a Gladiator GAWB04HWEG Adjustable Height Hardwood Workbench, 4' the vise is whatever brand they sell at Lowe's and the light is a Brightech LightView PRO LED.

You mean these?

Those are some binding/terminal blocks I made awhile back for testing speakers/drivers, etc. I can plug in cables with banana plugs on them, and clip on to the terminals to test different drivers, etc.
There's some led tape/strip lighting under the top most shelf, and a clamp on adjustable led light with magnifying glass built in. I can swing it in when I need, and out of the way otherwise.
I think the magnifying lamp is this one: https://amzn.com/B00UW2IRJ2
The diagonal flush cutters are:

and the small nose pliers are:

The little parts boxes are from a Bosch organizer:

There's cheaper options, but I had the organizer and extra bins so I used those.
Fire extinguisher is a Kidde ~3lb standard fire extinguisher. An absolute must imo.
The drawers are great, when I'm properly using them I can keep the desk clutter free.
Generally when I'm working on a project, if it's going to take longer than an hour or so, I put all the parts needed into bins, organize/label all the components. Then get started on the build. I have a small whiteboard to the left of the desk that I can pin up schematics, and take any quick notes while I'm cussing myself for forgetting something obvious.
I'd really like to recommend [this LED magnifying lamp] (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00UW2IRJ2/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1) for painting. I've been able to have 2-3 hour continuous painting sessions sitting upright in a chair, and not hunched over. Alleviates all kinds of back and shoulder pain.
The focal length is a little short (you need to have the mini a little close to the lens), so on rare occasions the lamp gets in the way of the brush. However the vast majority of the time its perfect.
Hey man, i know it has been 3 weeks since you have posted this, but I too have had similar issues. I have an idea of what would be ideal, but have had too much life going on to do anything about it.
I was thinking of buying a used makeup mirror with a light ring, and replacing the mirror with a magnifying glass and attaching it to the articulating arm of a lamp. It would end up something like this. I am a cheap ass and think it is too much money for something I can build myself from some thrift store items, but you may not be as cheap as me or in need of the magnifying glass.
Anyways, good luck and let me know what you came up with
Nice setup! The right workspace makes the hobby so much more enjoyable. I added this magnifying task light last year and it's become my favorite tool on my bench.
Which one of the Fostex kits are those bookshelf speakers? I've been thinking about getting a pair and I'm curious to know what you think of them.
