My Workbench and where I got it
After showinbg a pic of yours truly and the workbench, I have some requests for more details of the bench . . so here goes
You can buy the bench at;

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
