What your workstation looks like?

[GreenBar0n]

Not as neat as the rest of you, but I roll this bench in to the music room when necessary.


Seville Classics HD bench, height adjustable, and can add wheels, drawers and other accessories. The top scratches a bit too easily, but the rest of this thing is built like a truck.

My new Workstation/shed now has a roof. Going to need more rc stuff to fill it

Looking good Rob, that's an awesome space for your stuff. We could always Malcolm / Mythbusters up the blue beast, if you really need more RC vehicles in there

Do I sound as jealous as I feel?

You can come over anytime once it's done.

Forgive me if I've already posted about this somewhere ... search came up empty. It's something I've been struggling with for a while, but now there's a deadline. I'm getting some new carpet installed, and one of the legs on my workbench is almost guaranteed to break when moved. I need to replace it with something that will allow the chair to slide underneath the tabletop, preferably with a workspace large enough to accommodate my 1/5 monster Arrma Kraton 8S (with the wheels off). With my existing setup, I find myself standing more often than not, which severely limits the amount of time I can wrench on my cars.

I've posted about this elsewhere and can't escape the "it's so easy, just get a bunch of plywood from Home Depot blah blah" ... I've been on this earth long enough to know what I'm good at, and furniture building is not one of them. I know that'd be the best way to get what I want, but I need something off the shelf. If assembly is required, I'll hire someone to do it. I like having a power source, a few drawers & the pegboard, but all of that is secondary to the chair position.. most of them have some of the structure in the way, forcing someone my size (and most others I imagine) to hunch over. This causes me to constantly lose parts when I'm not 100% over the tabletop. My vacuum cleaner probably has a dozen spare e-clips & set screws.

This is the one I have today:

OK, I really need some ideas here for a new setup. I'll get this out of the way now, because I already know the most common response - I CANNOT BUILD A CUSTOM WORKBENCH. At this age, I know what I'm good at, and what I'll wind up paying someone to fix/finish after I screw it up. Building furniture is in the latter category. I need something "off the shelf".

This Harbor Freight workbench has served me very well for $99, but the leg is bent & almost certain to break when I move it to replace the carpet soon...but that's OK, because I have to make a change. I have an elevated bar stool with a back rest, but can't slide the chair under the tabletop, so I either slump over the workspace, or stand, because if I sit up straight, which I really have to - then I am working over my lap, and allowing every tiny screw & e-ring to fall into onto the floor (and usually into the void).

I MUST find something that lets me slide my chair UNDER the desk. Ideally, it'd have a workspace able to accommodate my obscenely large 1/5 Kraton (pictured), without breaking the bank. If I have to just get a large table & hang a separate pegboard on the wall, I suppose I could, but I'd really like something with drawers so I can chuck the plastic crap.

Any suggestions very much appreciated.

What about some butcher board and wall brackets? I hung these separate for 2 kids but they could be joined. Pick your height.

I looked at a few like that, and while I love the idea of the floor space saved, I'd rather have a larger tabletop ... that 5th scale truck is a monster, and I already drop parts too much! Thank you for the suggestion

Rotate them 90 degrees and join 3 of them and you have 24” x 60” which is a bit larger then my current 20” x 60” harbor fright bench

What’s the wheelbase and track width on it? I’d figure add 3 inches to each side and a foot front and back?

Check out these if you require the peg board and drawers.

Put the locking wheels on it to make it mobile, and a bit taller.

Someone left the walnut table that's under the stereo in this pic, near the garbage here at my condo. I've given away some nice stuff in the past out there, but this is the first time I've won the garbage lotto.


Inspired me to clean up my workstation area, and even try framing my first anything - ever; and it shows
