I have done some brief searching and have seen a few cool posts, but I would like to get things together in one place. What is your favorite/most useful shop equipment? I'm moving soon and it is going to be a good opportunity to think about what sorts of equipment it would be fun to have on hand!
I'll start off with: A good heavy duty work bench A dual valve low profile aluminum jack Wall mounted rack for holding wheels/tires Wishlist: media tumbler (for cleaning small parts) do-it-yourself plating equipment 12 ton press bench grinder air compressor Attached thumbnail(s)

QUOTE(scotty @ May 15 2013, 09:28 AM)  An extra 100 square feet to store it all. Only 100sq/ft (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif) I built a a big shop (about 1800sq/ft) when I got done I went, "Fuch...I didn't build it big enough!" Then I built an attached 2 car garage on the house, as I was building I added 8 extra feet on the planned length, when I got it done I went, "Fuch...I didn't build it big enough!"
