Here is a thread about "My ideal workshop" where I will contemplate on how I would setup my kit - had I known what I know now.

Of course, things *I* consider "ideal" may be junk for others.

To the record out what *I* define as "ideal" is approximately per below:
0) firstly I see "cost" as a 3-sided triangle of $, time and space
1) good-enough accuracy so a dry-fit fits
2) best possible accuracy at reasonable cost => go for the cost/value inflection point or just slightly beyond
3) minimal "operating costs" /this translates mostly to space used when shop is "mothballed"/

I expect this to be a long-living-posts thread for me. Will be changing the posts as my views change over time.
