The homebuilt airplane community has some pretty impressive workbenches at times. Here's one useful thread: http://www.homebuiltairplanes.com/forums/workshop-tips-secrets-tools/4456-my-workbench-build-sorry-long-lots-pics.html Just keep this piece of wisdom in mind: "No matter how many work benches you have and how big they are, your free working area is always exactly six square inches. I have nine work benches and I cant find a piece of space to work on." -- George Sychrovsky Given more ambition and surety about how I want things laid out, I might very well be mounting monitors and even smaller items on repositionable arms so they 'float' around my workspace and can be pushed hither, thither, and yon. Of course, the extension of that thought would be to get a display about 3'x6' (or appearing to be about that size on a head-mounted VR display) and push VNC windows around. ;) -- Carl Soderstrom Systems Administrator Real-Time Enterprises www.real-time.com
