There is no question I will never build drawers either.. These tool boxes have been fantastic.. Just make sure you screw them to the shelf then you can have all the drawes open at once with no worrries...

Actually that was just as I was finishing up the shop. It hasn't been that clean since... Almost 4 years ago

As for a workbench, mine looks good but it sucks for sitting down and working. It’s basically a concrete block slab. Ideally I wish I had a nice wood one that was more functional and had space underneath. When we bought our house there was a second basement from an addition that was not being used and I transformed it into a fishing/boat storage room. I typically use the wood work bench in my garage instead.
Here are some before & during pics of the room.

Ya John, ya gotta simplify, I had to rip out my 40 yr old 12ft bench, made with
a bolted 4x4 frame when we did the french drains.Took me a day to take it out
and to the dump.
That little HB bench holds my drill press and just enuff room to work. Stays
neater too, large flat surfaces draw stuff like a magnet. 
Nice job Piscator, gotta luv that fireplace in the corner. |

Ha ha. It's one of those electric plug in ones. $80 at Ocean State (can't go wrong), makes it nice and toasty in there. My bro-in-law just gave me a 13" flat screen and I'm going to put it above on the shelf corner for some additional "entertainment"

Calling fishing a hobby is like calling brain surgery a job. ~Paul Schullery
There he stands, draped in more equipment than a telephone lineman, trying to outwit an organism with a brain no bigger than a breadcrumb, and getting licked in the process. ~Paul O'Neil, 1965
