Our new home has my "man cave" downstairs. I managed to load it up with a few machines including a microwave and refrigerator. I also got the chance to have it rewired with a receptacle every four to six feet of usable wall space. Up above I have a JET filtration system and enough fluorescent lights so there are no shadows. I have necessary benches a PC and three Craftsman Roll Around tool chests. With the exception of the Chop Saw and the Table Saw, the tools in the cave are as follows:
