Re: How to create a workshop

Very nice! It might get a bit cramped, but if you only have a few people it looks great. The chance to organize from the beginning is valuable. Make sure to take full advantage of the freedom and organize!
As far as taps and dies go, a basic set should give you what you need; we never use anything over 1/4", and if we do it's from a COTS part and we can order the tap at the same time anyway.
Are you going to be working with metric or imperial mainly? We use 8-32, 10-32, and 1/4"-20 screws almost exclusively (excepting some electrical stuff), so close metric sizes would be M4, M5, and M6 screws. If it's easy to source locally, go metric. The single thread pitches will make things easy to organize. On the other hand, some electrical components use imperial screws, but sometimes those are small and/or replaceable with metric.
I didn't see it mentioned and forgot to mention it, but combination squares are very handy. I use them whenever I have to cut stock.
