Bike Pirates was lucky to have gotten full-sized metal work tables and large, solid tool boards from a shop that closed. The tables are awesome and can take a beating, and have a shelf for storing cables and stuff underneath, but the tool boards are all different, and have 'shadows' of a lot of tools we don't have :S which leads to confusion. The tables are big enough for two people to use them, so we have 9 repair stands sharing 4 toolbenches all along one wall of the shop, plus a wheel station (using one of the same metal tables).
We are planning to overhaul all of this in january and spend a bit of money on making all of the tool boards uniform (hooray!). I'll take some pictures when its done.

Hi everyone,
I was wondering if shops could share their bench designs and/or shop layouts - we're moving in January and trying to set ourselves up as best as possible. Specifically, it'd be great if anyone has a copy of your bench design & material list, and in terms of layout we're most interested in bench spacing - see below for an example. What works about your current layout and what doesn't?
Our current layout uses a bench that is ~18" deep (from the wall), ~50" from edge of the bench to bike-stand pole, and the length of the clamp (from pole to clamp-edge) is ~18." Our spacing between benches is erratic given our current shop space, but our new space is nice and square-ish.
Thanks! -Lee Reis
