Geoff,
Here are a couple thoughts after building this set-up...

Dimensions:

39" deep
39" tall
98" wide

My bench is too deep (for me and I'm tall), needs to be 32-33" deep.

I have mine screwed into the wall studs.

I added the center support "leg" to cut vibration.

I keep the middle shelf full of heavy things...bullets etc...again to cut vibration.

You need LOTS of electrical outlets. Recently added several ceiling & wall outlets...wish I had a power strip along the front...oh well.

Keep a fire extinguisher handy.

White (light reflecting) Pegboard...the KEY to life!!!

Shelves on the pegboard are good.

You can NOT have too much light!

Made of 2/4s and plywood.

Good luck!!!!

Bob
