Well, I can't exactly show you my work area, because I work where ever there's a flat surface or a kitchen table. I can, however, show you some of the stuff in my "stash" area.

Yes, I've only got one golfball; I found it in the woods, and it's probably as old as I am, but I treasure it.
That's going to create a lot of one ball jokes.
To be honest, I don't keep many golfballs around, mostly because I just don't build launchers in sizes that can fire them. Dunno, maybe that will change some day.

I have even less. I work with a blow torch, a budget set of bog standard tools - and the obligatory Dremel of course. I do occasionally borrow a workmate to help.
Actually, I have another multi tool as well, as I saw a box of replacement rotary tool bits in a store I was in, and it was £20 on it's own - or if I bought a £20 rotary tool, I got the set free with it.
The choice was obvious - and it added around 60 more bits bundled with the tool. But it should be said the tool in question isn't very powerful. 18W to the Dremel's 125W - but it is a slimmer body, and is more comfortably held like you would a pen for engraving or such.
Frankly, as the hammer in the budget set bent the first time I used it, and the mole grips won't lock properly it's a wonder I can build anything at all.
Why do I work with low quality tools? Well, when I'm a student, and each of my recent project has cost £200 to 300 ($400-600 USD) a pop just for materials, I have to cut back somewhere - I also tend to use cheap ammo, nothing more than a few pence a pop except for very rare use.
