Making use of inner bench corners?
I'm just about to rebuild my workbench area and am a little confused
about how to make best use of the available area and in particular how to efficiently use the inner corner of an "L" shaped bench. A nice depth for the bench will result in a rather deep and inaccessible corner area. What can be done to make better use of that area? I'm just curious what other people do. Thanks. |

a good problem to have.. I'm not there yet..
air compressor? tuck it away in a sound box planer on wheels -- assuming you have another roll out cart to get at it shelves for seldom used items - empty tool cases, etc -- assuming you have a roll out cart to get at it "Davej" wrote in message ...

Best location for a drill press, particularly a radial press with a 34" ram. |

The area might do well as a hand-held routing station? Fretsawing spot? You know, clamp your work in the corner and have at it? As another has said, good problem to have. Tom |

That said, I'm working on the same issue. Currently, the plan is for my phone, hanging tools to go above. A light box for stained glass might go across as the cabinet top. The base. I'm not sure yet. Open shelves for paint, etc.? Scroll saw storage? I'm just not certain. I need to do more of a layout in the shop to get a visual. |
