Need some help getting my workstation ready :)

Hi guys,

Figured I'd be able to get some help and tips from everyone here on getting my workstation together. I've recently jumped into the world of electronics, so my tools are limited. What I have at the moment:

-A giant toolbox with all the general tools
-898D+ Soldering Station (Looking to upgrade to a Hakko FX-888D, pretty dissatisfied with the 898D+, but what was I supposed to expect it's generic)
-Screwdrivers (Big and Small Phillips and Flathead)
-Wire Stripper
-Helping Hands
-Multimeter

I do NOT have a hot glue gun or dremel.

What else would I need? Any other soldering station suggestions?

Crocodile clip with wires, resistors, capacitors, multimeter and a good power supply. Dont buy too much stuff now. You will get over the time all needed things. The local hardware store is your friend.
