I am, once again, rebuilding my shop so it will be more optimized for guitar repair and building. To that end I would like a set of cabinets from Alex K for my shop :)

I've got power to my new shop, now I just need to install some more outlets, lights, and switches to make use of it.
As for tools, more clamps are always on the list.

For the outlets, Roger, install 20amp breakers with 12 gauge wire, instead of 15amp, if you can. If you have a contractor table saw, or other higher draw tools, you won't be trippin'!

I have been wanting a new block plane recently. I could also use some extra long swivel clamps for brace repair too.

The main tool I'd wish for is for more talent... ...also, more room would be nice. I could use some other things but, I'm kinda managing with the tools I have. What I'd really like is a sitka top from Alaska Specialty Woods!
