Well the vote is almost split between 4feet or 3feet. I am leaning toward 3 feet to make sure I can walk around it.

I really like the Rev 2 layout. I had never though of moving things around that way. Making one shelf only 6 feet sounds good. That is simply cutting 2 feet off the 2x4 shelves before they get screwed to the frame and since the saw arrived that is doable.

As for the living room, I am already using the dining room as my current work area. Since it is just my son and me no one complains about eating in front of the football game. The living room is for my TV and recliner. The 'MAN' cave is my son's Red Skins heaven with his 60 inch TV.

The stands for the two sets of shelves are done. All that is needed is to clear some floor space and start screwing the 2x4 shelves in place. Each shelf uses four 2x4s. The workbench is nearing completion. All that is left is the bench top. A hardwood top would be nice as one on the uses will be my reloading presses. This puts fair amount of stress on the bench tops. It ended up being 27 inches by 8 feet. This a stock picture and I plan on replacing it with mine later. The 2x4basics kit is the four legs and all the screws to put it together
