Members tweed Posted September 28, 2005 Members Share Posted September 28, 2005 I am currently putting together a new 8x12 workspace and am looking for ideas of how to arrange my bench. Post ideas and pics of things that have worked well for you and things that haven't like, height of bench, placement of tools and electrical outlets , shelving , etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SymenTimmermans Posted September 28, 2005 Members Share Posted September 28, 2005 I always liked the idea of having two workbenches, at different heigths.- one at "work-on-my-guitar"-level - one at "woodcutting"-levelA LOT of shelves is a must Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Duesentrieb Posted September 28, 2005 Members Share Posted September 28, 2005 My "workbench" is outside on the balcony, has a diameter of 50cm and the most important thing in autumn is not the storing of the tools, but a good jacket and a water-proofed light :D:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Duesentrieb Posted September 28, 2005 Members Share Posted September 28, 2005 btw: the worst part is, that the table is made of metal - so I always have to put an amp down on the floor when I fire it up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members argonaut4 Posted September 28, 2005 Members Share Posted September 28, 2005 This is the best pic I have of my bench. I've been somewhat in transition (remodeling), so it's currently not laid out very well. I prefer to work standing up. My bench is about 10' long and stands about waist height. I raised it to be so. I like to use non-skid pads on the bench top. They're cheap and are easy to roll up if not needed. Also, don't forget about your feet. If you're standing a lot, like me, give yourself some cushion.I like to have my tools at arms reach and in cases. I also like to keep my components in clear plastic containers (like a tackle box). I know where everything is and it's easy to find. I can grab my cases and be off in a moments notice.It took me quite awhile to seperate and put everything together this way, but it was well worth it. It's funny 'cause I'm generally a messy person, but my amp making stuff is as neat as can be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe, but since both studied chemistry and have a good toxicological background: Soldering inside isn`t recommended with a newborn - or I`d had to buy filters or something. I prefer to get another Diezel instead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt they would do it, although, perhaps they wouldn't mind cutting into their 3 hours of sleep for a side job.
