How about a welder? Plasma cutter? Mini bandsaw? Tool chest?
I'd have a field day with an opportunity like that!

A belt sander is also easier to use SAFELY than a grinder.

One alternative is to get a bunch of good quality drill bits (multiples of the commonly used sizes) and a few Deburring Tools.

A second alternative is to get a small Band Saw. It's not the greatest but it will be easier to get good cuts on tubing and sheet goods than with a hacksaw.

A third alternative would be to get some clamps. On the weekend, I saw some good quality Bessey brand clamps on sale in one of our local stores.
