If you glue up a lot of panels and don't have a lot of space(most of us), build a clamp rack that hangs the panels from the ceiling. For around 100$ you can glue up panels and actually still see your floor. Also work for doors.
my assembly bench with outlets for electric,air lines,vertical clamp rack,t-tracks on the top for holding things down,paper roll holder and enough storage space for everything needed for project assembly,on wheels for mobility.
Rolling workbenches and wheels under all of my tools. In 15 minutes I can have the entire shop out in the drive and humming. I get more equipment in place than the army did on Omaha beach.
lol, actually it was the new to me delta 150inch blade band saw, boy howdy, does it cut thru the mother nature goods, and i'm liking it more and more, sure is one big boy for sure
My SawStop Job Site saw [ducks]. I'd like to get a larger band saw, but there wouldn't be any room for it if I had it. I'm in a minor fraction of a two-car garage. Smitty's wood floor brought tears to my eyes.
I don't know if a single thing will narrow it down
Dust Collection
Lighting
Climate/humidity control
All 3 of those are deal breakers if I don't have them, and I cannot separate their importance. I give them equal weight.
A wood floor would be fabulous, but at the cost it comes placing those stall mats from Tractor Supply in front of all your frequently used machines is just a small amount of $$$$$ and if you are on a mat, I can't tell if it was wood, concrete, sand, dirt under it. Takes that pain right out of your low back.
A 8' long gluing and clamping table (allows me to keep my work bench available while waiting for glue ups to cure), and or a Grizzly G1531 Edge Sander 80" x 6".
