I would like to thank everyone that gave me some ideas. I am sure I will make a few changes.
Here is what I have:
8 foot rod wrapper
Seperate area for drying handle
Seperate area for mixing epoxy
I know gave a lathe for turning rod handles and that is set up in the garage.
The lathe bench is portable to take the dust outside.
4-4 foot lights with daylight bulbs for plenty of good light.
Cabinets to keep my guides and stuff organized.
Bucket with PVC to organize ice fishing blanks.

I will try to post pictures.

Now it us time to get to work.

Good day, Doug

See you on the water, Doug

Doug,
Great looking work on your shop.

I see that you have a chop saw under your lathe.

If you pick up an abrasive cut off wheel, and replace the blade on your chop saw with it, you will have a great tool for trimming blanks, cutting arbors, etc.

The wheels from Grainger - "abrasive tool room cut off wheel" is a much better wheel, since it is only .060 thick. This thinner wheel makes a very clean cut and wastes less material on the cut.

Doug,
This was one of the first "chop saws" that I modified for chopping blanks and other materials.
Since an abrasive wheel wears down over time, I elevated the cutting surface by installing a 2X4 channel on the bed. Then, I installed a piece of stock just behind the center line of the saw wheel to use as a back plate for cutting.

After installing, just ran the saw down through the materials to make a thin clean cut for a nice tight fit and no issues about material falling into a hole in the saw.

I happened to pick up this saw used at a used tool shop for $20. This has one of the Grainger "tool room cut off wheels" installed on it.
By the way, I have cut all materials on this saw, graphite, steel, aluminum, brass etc. etc.

I added the halogen light for great viewing when using the saw.

Be safe
