Thinking of building my own like this one from Sears only a bit bigger with more storage.
http://www.sears.com/south-shore-crea-c ... ll=REC_1_0
It also shows the dimensions too. Any thoughts of what changes I could do to it? How much bigger would you go length-wise and depth-wise? How would you design it as an L-shaped workbench based on that? I know I'll probably close off one of the cubbies for my reference binders/books (inside back left side). Any ideas?
Want to build a new work bench. Any working ideas?

I do have a bench on the right side of my temporary workspace/table. I do have a metal shelving there as my future display case. Of course, I will seal it off to prevent cat disasters and dust.

I guess size depends on how much linear space you have, huh? That is a nice clean workspace to be sure. Look around in some flea market places....I found an old office cubicle, complete with the side pieces drawers and a shelf for a hunnert.
To make each build less crappy than the last one. Or, put another way, "Better than the last one, not as good as the next one!"..

Do you have an IKEA near you? That's where all the stuff in my model room came from. The bench and bookshelves.

Oh man... I wish there was an IKEA near me. Two are located in Brooklyn and Long Island and a couple places in NJ and CT - all at least 5+ hours from me. Haven't thought about checking their website though.

Both me and SWMBO have gotten tables from there. I use mine for my benches. SWMBO uses them for her artwork. Cheap and easy to put together.

Re: Want to build a new work bench. Any working ideas?
I finally got around to taking pics of my workspace in my cellar. Any ideas for storage cabinets placements would be appreciated. I know an L-shape workspace would be ideal (running front to left side, airbrush station will go in left corner or left end of workspace on left side).
NOTE - Ceiling height is 7 feet
Front:
Left Side
Right Side
Back Side
I have plans to build my own airbrush booth hopefully this summer.

Just a small idea: a magnetic rail to hold all your tools on. Works like a charm.
