I'm fitting out a workshop myself and will build a bench which can be at any height I choose, but I also need to fit in a window. I'm interested to know what you think a good height would be - I've seen anything from 840cm to over a metre quoted. Once I know the height of the bench I can work out the sill height for the window to give max light (and a view), and hopefully a row of sockets between the sill and the bench. Any clues?

You've inspired me a little - I'm feeling a rearanging urge hit me as I type. :) It looks like a totally functional work space. My own workspace is a bit of a nightmare in terms of efficiency and practicality - eeek! But I've never been a terribly organised person. I really dig your packaging table - great idea! Good job!

They're great, but they take up a fair bit of bench space and all you have to do is knock one over while it's open to have hundreds of tiny components all mixed up on the floor! Which, trust me, is no fun at all. So I've now started getting round, clear plastic pots which all screw together to form a kind of tower, with the top one having a screw on lid. This means you only need to have one open at a time, can see everything clearly without opening anything and they take up a lot less space. They're highly recommended and come in different sizes.
