I would say the # 1 tool to have is a nice flat table. It must be stable and most important, comfortable to sit at. I use a laminated maple top (Like a big butcher block) and a metal frame. The top is from Woodcraft and the frame is from Global Industrial.

Next to that I would say a nice belt / disc sander as the one shown by Zor. I have the same model but have since upgraded to a 12'' disc sander. Over the course of years I have added to my tool collection. Building just allows me to use my tools!

You are right on the mark with a rolling table to finaly set up the wings and struts on ,the building bench is tough to do it on. I found a industrial rubbermade cart for resturants for a tool cart also so i can roll all my hand tools around my shop. joe
