Looking to redo my bench, and would love to get some ideas. Trying to make things more organized, efficient, and make my processes as fluid as possible. Whattya got??
 
I have multiple tables I'm using now, and i'm happy with them. Just looking to rearrange and add shelves. Just want to get some ideas of what other guys have set up and see what may work for me
 
At this point I'm long on supplies, short on shelves. Some place along the way I've become an unintentional hoarder.
Not good with picture posting, but roughly 2 8 foot benches. I try to separate the process's. A smaller shorter 4 foot bench has my computer, where I look up loads etc.

My little hole in the garage....serves its purpose for now...but of course it isn't big enough for all the storage needed...
Bought the tabletop bench from Home Depot...did a little devisive adjusting and a sealer on top....works great...0108181910.jpg
 
I am building another bench for my man cave. Have too much crap on the other. I bought this kit and all the lumber today at Lowe's. This kit will allow the bench to be up to 8 ft long and 4 ft wide. Mine will be 7x3'. Pretty handy to put together just having to make 90 degree cuts, looks good, strong as hell and priced right. Came with all the wood screws needed as well.

Not sure if you have access to slabs but here's what I'm in the process of making.
Used my chainsaw mill to rip these 24" wide.
Gonna run another slab below and build a hutch style shelf along the wall.
I won't post a pic of my current disaster..

.........6' long x 28" wide. The 4x4 pressure treated frame might have been alittle much. But it's stout.....

That's what I built mine from. It's my 3rd, and carriage bolts, and wood screws, it should stand the test for a long while.
