good lighting,fans(for cooling your self) i like a rolling work station as it tends to very help for me.mine is 29"high 36" wide 6' long on 6 casters if space would allow i would also think that some type of rack to hold your most used hand tools like drivers hammers(yes you will need and want about 5-10 hammers) rules and many other things would help as well ,but that is something more that you would want build.

I think the above posts said it pretty well, but if you live in Peoria I'd go for the "1000 ton" A/C unit first. :D

It's already too hot for me! :eek:

Here are a few suggestions didn't see up above: sanders, chisels, collection of hammers, weatherstripping and insulation, (here in CO, this is not an automatic that it's done) buckets of hand tools.

1 good hand plane is always nice. When you need it, there's really nothing else that'll do. You can get cheap ones at HD and sharpen/polish the blade pretty well. Should do fine. You don't have to pay hundreds to get a good hand plane.

You need clamps. More. Go get more clamps. I gotta get more clamps. Be back later....going to get clamps.....

As Badger Dave said.
Clamps

[VASandy]

My wallet is lighter....... I got 2 Bessey 31" bar clamps!! They really seem neat. Got little feet on the free end so they'll stay level. Now I can make door panels.... well, after I spend just a little more on a panel raising bit...then there's the molding bit....then there's the..... ok, well, there's always more. :D

god i love clamps

ditto on the hand plane, buck bros has a decent intro one for arround $30. while your there buy an extra blade for it, its like $3, just in case you drop the plane and chip the blade, ya got an extra one one.

i think im going to get more clamps too.
