Yes HtH is an old'y and a goody if you can find it.
For more inspiration I would look on line for a chemical supply house for chemistry equipment and see just what is there that might fit your situation.
From my experience it would be:
1) Glass wear
2) Alcohol both gain, wood and maybe diluted
3) Acetone, some other basic chemicals.
4) Scales
5) Some way to provide constant heat, either from gas or maybe a water bath type idea.
6) Glass jars with solid chemicals in them, some metal jars, some ceramic jars, some jars sealed with wax and some with jell.
7) mortar and pestle, probably more than one
various screens with different size holes
9) normal water and purified water. Maybe a large water purification system in the room.
10) cool environment, generally.
11) Side room with lots of books and paper for notes and researching stuff.
12) Microscope
13) Some type of fume hood, most likely water running through a constricted opening that pulls air with it.
14) drying area
Thats all I can think of right now.
