What are some less-obvious items that you must have in your shop? (kbin.social)

I'm very new to woodworking and I'm focusing on learning how to use hand tools. I'm slowly acquiring more tools and setting up my workshop, but I just know that there will be something super useful that I haven't thought about, and won't realise that I need it until I actually need it.

What items can you just not live without in your shop?

I find myself using a chunk of beeswax way more than I expected. It's handy for little spots where you need some quick lubrication, in addition to its usefulness as a finish.

That is something I'd not heard of, thank you!
