Since I'll be building a new man cave, the one most important thing for me is an adequately large bench area I can't clutter up while I'm building. Second is proper storage for supplies that doesn't interfere with the bench space, T.V., computer and spray booth. I have ample tooling and the will to build is strong.

Things I need to build... my glasses! My cushion handle eXacto knife. Zap-a-Gap, Dixie bathroom cups, tooth picks and my very favorite battery power drill. Oh, and my lucky pink board!

My Chopper II is one of my best tool investments. Under it is an old hacksaw blade that I use as a straight edge and can't forget Squadron Green Putty. Matching Gerber's jars that probably date back to when my kids ate the stuff (they're in their 20s). One is lacquer thinner and the other is good ole turpentine.

My spray booth

My assortment of 1x1 squares of sandpaper in varying grits. And my several Flexifiles.

and my 1/25 scale ruler!

And with all of the above, I'm pretty much good to go

and can't forget my sidekick sleeping under the bench!

Lighting has gotten to be a major requirement lately. A really sharp retractable X-acto knife I use the small bladed versions mostly ( looks like a retractable pen )

But the motivation is the hardest one for me to keep stocked

Hmmm... my Zona saw, Calipers, Pin vise and bits, Scribers, X-Acto blades, various adhesives, good brushes, tooth picks, cotton swabs, paper towels, masking tape, work bench and comfy chair... and my Nook with Pandora playing

These, plus a roll of masking tape, are all I HAVE to have (including the dMt.Dew)...everything else is a luxury.

Tom, I use a hacksaw blade for a straight edge as well. The teeth make for great anti-slip devices. :P

I read through this thread and I gotta say you guys pretty well covered it. The things I can add are access to a sink and water for wet sanding and plenty of storage room for all of my projects.
