Something I plan on incorperating into the workbench are several swing out trays, about two feet wide. These will be made of 1/16" stock, no more than two inches deep, in a quarter circle designe, with a piece of pipe at the right angle corner, slightly longer than the depth of the tray. Several of these will be mounted on a pivot pipe secured to the floor and the bottom of the workbench. The object is to store the inevitable odds and ends that accumulate in boxes, pails and jars, like the old sqaure nuts that I use for welding to sheet metal hoods for the mounting bolts, also stuff like brass fittings, of which there seems to be no end of types..... well you get the picture. Another suggestion is shallow plywood trays that slide out from under the top of the workbench to hold gaskets. Sounds a bit elaborate, but I plan on a ten by ten foot fully insulated 'room" in one corner of my shop, to be heated seperatly from the shop. This "room" will contain a 60 gal water heater, a washing machine, basin and lav. With the freezables in one small room, so I won't have to heat the rest of the shop when not in use. These are suggestions only and not intended to imply that I am an expert. Hope these few ideas will help a little. Have a gooder, R.E.L.
