Frank, you'll get plenty of opinions, but in addition to the obvious
stuff I would highly recommend the LC meter kit at:
http://www.aade.com/lcmeter.htm

Since you like building, you'll like this kit. It gives much more
accurate readings of L and C than the LC readings on my fancy digital
VOM, and it's a great help when winding and/or debugging toroids and
identifying capacitors with tiny cryptic markings or none at all.

Of course, you need a VOM, maybe a nice signal generator like the
XG-3, and an RF probe for your VOM. I love my scope but it's certainly
not a necessity. I also have an audio generator I built from a
Sparkfun kit that could sometimes be helpful.
