RE: workbench
I use a 30" x 80" luan door blank from Home Depot. I put a set of their folding legs on it so if need be, I can store it easily. A workbench stool provides comfortable seating and I use clamp-on goose-neck lamps for great lighting. It provides all the space I need for chargers, soldering equipment, two car work stations with rotating car stands, and plenty of space for all of my tools. It also doubles as my R/C plane workbench. Works great and cost me about $50.
