While reading through the latest installment of Kiwibonds informative casting series (a trilogy in 4 parts, to quote Douglas Adams), it struck me in the photos how..."unruly" his workbench looked. This got me thinking about the size of the respective workbenches used by our two paragons of the scale (Head Druff and KiwiBonds)....and the high output these two are turning out in what I think are very modest spaces....
Firstly, The Head Druff:
Seeing this workbench brings to mind a line from "The Cyberpunk Fakebook" (essential reading for anyone in my line of work with a hacker alias) where one one of the most reverred hackers ever ("D00dz") did his most impressive work with a Commodore 64....be impressed...be very impressed.
The Head Druff here shows scant regard for heavy machinery while having a good size functional workbench, well under the size most would expect him of having when seeing the calibre of his work. Point to note: GOOD LIGHTING. Worth its weight in gold. Also note his tools are all within easy reach on the floor (usually where they've been put).
Next up: KiwiBonds.

Yeah that looks pretty typical!
Like the way that you have kept plenty of spare room for the layout!
One feature that I have found extremely useful, is a set of redundant drawers.
A long piece of customwood as a benchtop also improves the marginal working area! :-)
I've found that the landlords curtains also add a nice touch to the whole thing.
Didnt like to say, but thought you were planning for the future.... :-)
