I was thinking more in the line of say how "office equipment" bring the idea of a computer and a printer, etc to the mind. Very generic items like those Waver had on F/Z.

Sure. The thing mainly is that there are basically infinite things you can do with a workshop. The most basic kind of workshop would just be some place you threw a Bounded Field up in for stuff like alert systems and controlling the area's mana, and you don't really need supplies for that, just time. Supplies only really come into play if you're doing more complicated stuff, normally.
