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 &#39;shadows&#39; of a lot of tools we don&#39;t have :S which leads to confusion.<br>
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).<br><br>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&#39;ll take some pictures when its done.<br>

<div style="">Hi everyone,<div><br></div><div>I was wondering if shops could share their bench designs and/or shop layouts - we&#39;re moving in January and trying to set ourselves up as best as possible.  Specifically, it&#39;d be great if anyone has a copy of your bench design &amp; material list, and in terms of layout we&#39;re most interested in bench spacing - see below for an example.  What works about your current layout and what doesn&#39;t?</div>

<div><br></div><div>Our current layout uses a bench that is ~18&quot; deep (from the wall), ~50&quot; from edge of the bench to bike-stand pole, and the length of the clamp (from pole to clamp-edge) is ~18.&quot;  Our spacing between benches is erratic given our current shop space, but our new space is nice and square-ish.</div>

<div><br></div><div>Thanks!</div><div>-Lee Reis</div><br><div> <span style="border-collapse: separate; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px; font-size: medium;"><div>
