Garage appliances?

I am going to take over my brother in laws pole barn for an extended period and I need some advice on garage appliances. I renting the garage for used equipment ;) I am also putting up a bunch of used cabinets and lighting. He has a compressor, tools and most of the other workshop crap it is just an empty garage with a compressor and a tool chest

The Refrigerator is a gimme, so it is already on the list. I am considering a larger oven for powdercoating small stuff, should I use gas or electric? (both are options) Microwave? Coffee pot? Stripper pole?

What am I missing?

One of the most used "appliances" in my garage is the utility sink.

old dishwasher!

(i was taking apart the console of our old subaru to install a radio, it made it SOOOooo clean!)

You want an electric oven for powder coating.

Be careful putting plastic stuff in the dishwasher - it can get hot enough to melt your dash parts.

The less crap the better. don't ever put a tv in the shop! you'll never get any work done.

Need a barber chair.......I've got on on e-bay.

Heat?

It is heated.

Music you need somethin to listen to when doing "light" jobs. Tune-up's detailing ect. And last but not least a tree, a real one.

Old computer, with interwebs access? For GRM technical advice on the fly.

Combine with coffee pot and microwave, and you won't ever have to leave the garage.

Could you control that by not using the electric drying cycle as well as turning down the hot water temp at the water heater?

I could see it damaging old, brittle plastic with just the water jets.

I worked in a shop that had an old clothes washer and dryer for rags and stuff. Also came in handy when you pulled an all nighter and needed to freshen up your clothes before returning home. You can find them on craigslist for $100-$200 for both.

Stripper Pole? can I come hang out in your garage?

but a large stainless utility sink with eye sprayers should be there as well

Don't use gas stoves on P-Coat, things blow up. Serious, read the instructions.

Parts washers are nice to have, cheap at H-Freight.

Fume sucker for welding chromoly/stainless... basically a rafter mounted blower, a hose and a roof vent so you can move the end that sucks all-around

Ceiling trolley mounted winch for lifting/moving stuff

Pizza oven for powder coating stuff

I 2nd the huge stainless sink, stereo, & fridge

Tire changer machine

you need this.

Compactor for beer cans. And, it's not so much an appliance as a "charge station", but I like to set aside a counter near the outlet for all of the rechargeable batteries. Maybe a shelf or hand them on the wall if counter space is sparse

That barber chair is SWEET!
