It's ever evolving. You covered the basics well. Whatever it takes to finish the project buy it. There maybe a point where you're selling off as much as your buying. That said, small parts/nuts/bolts bins are a must, decent low profile jack, pneumatic rolling seat, any type of welder, more receptacles and lighting than your think you can get by with...and most importantly a comfortable chair to sit back and enjoy a few beer. If you're older having many sets of reading glasses strewn around the shop will prove to be invaluable.

My two car garage/shop is full and I mean full! I can barely get around and do have most everything on wheels. I just put my 6in jointer on Craigslist because I want to upgrade to an 8in. Just realized the 8in bed is quite a bit longer than my 6in bed and it's not gonna fit in the same spot. Now I have more re-org to do to shoehorn in another tool! :banghead: Man, I need a bigger shop!!! :hissyfit:

Too much to list, my shop is mostly oriented towards woodworking. I have been adhering to the first rule of projects for many years: Every project requires at least one new tool.
Many of my friends wives have not appreciated me sharing this with them, my wife has been very understanding and has benefited from this over the years.

My single best shop related item I have is my Montazuma triangle toolbox. My rural property is 45 minutes from home. Before buying this toolbox I constantly need a tool that was at home in my shop. Since buying this toolbox I have assembled a second set of tools. The toolbox stays in my old truck I take to the property. I also keep my chainsaw and cordless tools in that truck. Now rarely do I not have the tool I need.
