$200 I think should get you started pretty good. I bought a cheaper vise to start and it worked fine. Materials mostly all came from Skip (Skiptomylu here on cdc). Lots of good videos now on YouTube to watch and learn from. As far as materials like mentioned most came from Skip who is recovering from shoulder surgery and unable to reply right now. Lots of places to buy from, below are some I’ve used.

Woods and Water Outdoors
Nimrods Tackle
Crazy Angler
TJ’s Tackle
J. Stockard
Barlows

Hopefully this helps you out.
