Do I need any more tools for shaping a stock blank?

This is the entirety of the tools I've drug out to build this TVM kit,

That's not going to work. You need about two dozen more clamps, and with a lot more variety.

i worked 15 minutes on cleanup today before the RamRod of this outfit made me put up shelves in an outbuilding she uses for canning.
Did anyone suggest a good vise in the tool inventory? and a tail stock from the vise to support the loose end.
having both hands free to work is paramount when using a gouge, chisel, or plane.

After many years of using (a) an ancient vise inherited from my wife's father (and now in the hands of my son and grandson), and (b) a perfectly acceptable Harber Freight vise (that I just gave away to a charity), I finally bought an Irwin "mutli-purpose" vise. Yeah, I know it's low end. But for the most part, for me, a vise is a vise. The thing is ... it rotates in two dimensions and is a good approximation of a pattern maker's vise. For my purposes, and for slightly less than $120, it's WONDERFUL. In addition to a couple of woodworker vises I have on my big table, but the "multi-purpose" vise is so ... er ... multi-purpose. Extremely versatile. Several sets of slip-on vise jaws are also a good investment.

My most substantial tool investments are on the bookshelf.
Knowledge is the most valuable tool one can have.

When it comes to actual physical tools a handful of chisels and gouges and a block full of files and a 4 in 1 rasp will take you a long way.

... If you know how to sharpen them and have what you need for that.

Changed up my chisels I want to pfeil 8mm #7 straight gouge, 8 mm single bevel chisel and a 3mm single bevel chisel. Now if only they were in stock! I believe I have everything else I would need except a scraper which should be easy to make. Thank you everyone for the replies!

Yeah, you can make scrapers if you have the material. On the other hand, places like Grizzly or Klingspor (aka woodworkingshop.com) have scraper sets of good quality for about $20 (or often less).

I need to get some more chisels also. But all the ones that I want to get are out of stock and have been for months.

How about a microwave to heat up your meals you are eating in the work shop?
