--Keep everything small, light and on casters. IIRC J. Baldwin of
Whole Earth Review fame used to have a workshop built into a van. ISTR he
wrote either some articles or a book about it. There are also a couple of
books that you can get on small shop layout and design; although they're
primarily aimed at woodworkers you'll find a *lot* of applicable ideas in
them. Getcher self a copy of Fine Woodworking magazine or head over to the
local Woodcraft store if there's one in your area and you'll find them.
