Work bench in the garage, Not the best pic but you get an idea, i built this bench a long time ago, mounted the vise on one side and the grinder on the other, the peg board is real nice to hold tools up on the wall.








Bench pics from work.

the new florescent fixtures.. T4 or whatever they are called, small round bulbs, are extremely bright. One will do everything you need.

I hope to halfway finish mine this weekend so i can start over on the organizing part.
