Workshop
Layout, lighting, power points, power tools, hand tools, general material, storage, and dust collection. There are lots of good books and articles in woodworking magazine explaining what a good woodworking shop should look like and what should be in it. As far as I am concerned a lot depends on the space you have available, what kind of projects are you going to tackle and which power tools are you using the most. It is always a matter of compromise. For example, when I started I had an empty space and installed all the lights and power points I would ever need. Yeah, right. Let me tell you, you have never enough power points and they are never in the right position.
