for kit building tho most used tools in my collection are my sanding bars and blocks, and I advise to get one as long as you can get, the one I use a lot is 26in long. I couple of good straight edges dont hurt either, I have a 36in and a 48in. sharp blades for your knives are a must. One thing I have found very useful too are the extra long drill bits, I have a set 26in long from 1/8 to 3/8. some rattail and square files also have thier uses too, as do a good pr of scissors, I have both hairdressers and heavy duty. As for glues, I use mainly a quality wood glue and 2hr epoxies, I dont use much ca at all
My building tables are covered with 3/4 thick cork floor tiles ( 2 layeyers of 3/8 thick) that have been coated with polyurethane and are well waxed, I can pin down parts no problems if needed and the waxed poly stops glues from sticking to it. My table is 12' x 4', but I mainly build large scale, and is big enough that I can usually have parts drying one end and room to do the next as well.
unless you have extreme cold climate shouldnt be an issue, but an air con unit may be advisable during summer
