A recent article in Popular Woodworking ("Best $20 I Ever Spent") and responses to a recent thread "home shop on the cheap" got me thinking - what are some simple, relatively inexpensive tools or accessories that make your life in the shop easier? Of course we all need saws and clamps and chisels and all, but what are some things that might not be on all the lists of "basic woodworking tools"? For example, I broke down and spent $20 for a "Preppin' Weapon" sanding block, and though it sounds expensive for something as simple as a sanding block, I've been amazed at how convenient and effective it is.
