In working on the redesign of my shop, I'm planning some sort of
outfeed table. The table bit is obvious enough. I'm trying to think
what else to do with the space.

Postulate #1: Any horizontal space accumulates crap.

So live with that notion, and plan around it.

Am I the only one who had a sudden vision of that automatic cat pan with the
little mechanical arm that combs through the box after the cat has taken a
dump? I could borrow some technology for that, and build a space that
cleans itself of crap at regular intervals. Then I'd have to remember that
that tape measure/marking gauge/can of soda/glass jar/pile of razor
blades/whatever is in the collection bin on the side of that when I can't
find it.

Maybe I should patent the idea, and make one for workbenches too.
