The tool stand I have on top of the bench is also available with the bench as a "set" at;
http://www.marketworks.com/storefrontprofiles/DeluxeSFI...c=734579&i=231069763
Actually when I got this one, I bought the tool thing separately and screwed it onto the bench so it could not tip off. The experienced eye will see the Superglue, Lense Cement, Broken parts I had to replace, and yet another "care package" from Brian C. with some parts I needed for my latest project watch.

When I work at this bench at a leisurely pace, I can do about 2 or 3 watches a day, watch Football, answer my e-mails, and clean the watches in the spin cleaner just past my right shoulder that I keep covered, as the cleaning solution is UV reactive and goes to heck if you leave it under Flourescent lighting very long. Any evening when I feel coordinated, I can clean and adjust 1 watch easily. Smile

Dave,
What a great post, I've often wondered what kind of work spaces people employ in their day to day watch repair/collecting activities.
I wish mine were as elaborate as yours. Well, Maybe when the kids are grown and I don't have to trip over scooters, skates, volleyballs, etc...Nah, on second thought I kinda like it just the way it is Smile

Fabrizio, You are very skillful. Can you make more. We all would like something that nice! Maybe to trade for some "un-broken" watches!
