Lighting has been my biggest problem. I tried fluorescent's but had to hang them too high due to the lift. So tried mercury vapor and they don't give off enough light. Finally settled on two sets of contractor halogen tripod lights which work out just fine. A large propane tank hooked to a big contractors heater makes for 5 minute warmups in winter. Summer still is pretty hot as I only have a large contractor fan to cool the place. Back when we remodeled the production facilities for our restaurants I latched on to a bakers table. 12 foot long x 3 1/2 foot deep x 4 inch deep butcher block table with 40 slide out ingredient bins it makes the best workbench you ever saw. Grinder, buffer, and vise are mounted on table with drill press and other assorted tools on individual stands near the table. Now if I only had a blasting cabinet.
