It's not much, but it's what you can do for a functional workshop in a two car garage. The bench is 18" deep by 14' long, attached to the wall and separated into two sections by a router station. The apron is a 1x10 that serves to stabilize the legs and for workholding when I do woodwork. The benchtop is a ~1.75" industrial particle board door sawed in half lengthwise with allowance for a 1/2" sacrifical mdf surface soaked with BLO/turpentine/varnish. Total workshop space is ~220 sq ft. Slatwall with narrow shelving on the wall, lots cr*p underneath.
Yup, it's mine!
Husky 26" 4 over 2+2 with middle chest. Mostly filled up.
Along the wall... 3-1/2" Craftsman (Columbian) 506 vise, grinder, router station, and worktable. My wormdrive saw and chopsaw motor are hanging from the ceiling.
Worktable with sacrificial mdf for cutting on, ~18" x ~16.5" cast iron top with 3" vise.
18" x 5' torsion box for chopsaw base. When I use it, it sits on sawhorses or a pickup tailgate; when not in use it lives stood up in the far left corner behind the cheap tablesaw.
