Yes it is a rather stupid question but....
After reading a few threads about work bench's and assembly tables I think of my work bench and doubt I am using the space it takes up to its full potential. Just recently I have cleared and keep clean my work bench and realize that I use it some but end up using another table or 2 for a lot of the work. The work bench has a vise, is on wheels, is in arms reach of all hand tools and a few often used hand held power tools. I guess part of the reason for using other tables is that for years the work bench was cluttered and it was easier to go to another table or I needed a bigger table to work on. I have thought about building a little bit bigger work bench but if I still use another table all I have done is waisted a weekend, money and valuable shop space.
So... How do you use your work bench?
