For those of you that have dedicated workshops where you sharpen, what are some must have things, or things you wish you had as far as the build goes? Not so much equipment for inside (I'll get to that later). We're getting ready to build a 15x30 shop for woodworking, sharpening, and other project stuff that isn't automotive. It will be a steel building next to an existing shop. I'm planning on having a sink just outside(we're in FL). Obviously it will have electricity. But what other things do we need to make sure we do? Should I go through the effort to have the sink inside instead? We're just at the design phase, so now is when we need to be thinking. I have access to 3D printers, laser cutting, and a decent fabricator that has welders and plasma table/cutters.
I'm gonna link something in a sec, brb.

This one fixture has replaced my whetstones for the bulk of my work, and my ceramic rod turn box has replaced the rest.

I saw that. I like it. I have a sink bridge that I did to accommodate the back of our sink being higher than the front. Never thought about this. I'll have to make one. Thanks!
