Oh Man.... I'm feeling a little inadequate for this thread...
My current garage is a tin shed, and the work bench I built using left over yellow tongue & 2x4
Philm: Outstanding - I've seen pro-workshops that don't even come close to that, I love the way everything has its place. So neat and tidy.
Bernie: I've always liked yours & the toys in them (some go without mentioning, but I also love the vintage Ampol pump).
Merv: I love the Cobra logo sign hanging off your wall, and the floors finish - very classy
Modena: Yours is coming along very nicely with the race deck & Gladiator benches. Looks the part for a snake pit! I especially like what looks like a TV wall bracket
Not to mention Reptyl's & Boxhead's... Wow!
Congratulations to all.
I can't wait for the wife & I to move into our new place.
It is a humble home, but it does have a 2 car lock-up garage and a 3 car car-port. You guys are definitely providing inspiration. So Thanks!
Sorry for the slight hijack Mike!
I think you're onto something with regard the "walk around" to "work around" island work bench, perhaps some fancy sprung wheels which compress under load to anchor the bench down, but also allow you to move it out of the middle of the workspace should you need the room?
