Don't forget the rubber mat. Damp concrete is a wonderful conducter of electricity, as well as cold to your feet. And rig some good old tungsten bulbs for when you want the radio to play; flourescents and halogens will not bode well for AM. I also recommend an isolated variac for benchwork in any environment. Now if I ever get my brother's boat out of my garage, I might just do the same thing for my long unused woodworking shop tools.
