..."I don't think I have ever been in a shop ( mine included ) that had enough air outlets, electrical boxes and lights. I have come to the conclusion that you should decide how many of each of those you need and double it. A little more money up front, but it makes a big difference in how convenient things are and they will never be easier to install than when you are building"... That right there is the single best piece of advice on shops there is. The other consideration is storage. Opinions vary on this, but it's my feeling that there can't be too much horizontal surface, shelves and cabinets. Some folks say the more ya got, the more the junk piles up, but I'm willing to take that risk. I gotta have a place to put "stuff". I'm so scatterbrained that if I can't organize it, I can't find it. One more thing: A bookshelf, with a slanted top to lay manuals open on. Out of the way of the work area, but handy to it. Some folks even go to the effort of photocopying often-used manuals and slipping the individual pages in plastic protectors to keep the greasy fingerprints off 'em. If it's not too late, running water (hot water too, if you're REALLY into luxury) and a place to clean up will go a long way toward keeping peace with SWMBO.
