Not sure if it's under $10 but a feather board is really handy. Also, small clamps are usually under $10 and they are great for holding things in place while working...not just for glue ups.
I started back in 1974 and I 100% agree with everything you have shown. I have several steel rulers from 4" to 48". I buy cheap 0.7 plastic mechanical pencils during the back to school sales. I got a pack of 50 for under $10. That way I don't care if they get lost. Try making your own push sticks. It's a great use for scrap wood and practice makes us better.
Steel rules are great and various sizes are in my shop. One of my favorites is one that has a zero mark on one edge so I can find the center of a board, especially the face side.
The end of my silicone glue brush goes into a small jar with water so it never hardens and I don't have to peel it off. I have had some of those fingers break off with the glue when I don't remember to put brush in water.
In my youth I tried working on a trim crew and my boss laughed at my auto center punch and the spring loaded nail set. Then he saw me use them. All of a sudden the others had them. Same with the 1/4 inch wide modeling knife I used to putty the nail holes with. For other reasons, Alas it wasn't fast but was beautiful!

I put packing tape instead of wax on my cauls. Lasts for years. I'll put packing tape on my bar clamps to keep glue off them.
Thanks. Good video. It would be helpful if you could provide links to the tools you covered.
Circle templates; yes! I’m amazed they aren’t recommended more frequently.
Additionally, French curves should be standard gear.
Thanks,good advice
No need for rubber gloves, I enjoy my multicolored hands
Can't disagree with anything in this video
