I did some work on improving my workbench space today. I purchased some shelf brackets from IKEA and mounted those to the legs of my table, enabling me to fit another worktop underneath the tabletop. Pretty much doubles up the space available for "junk". I made a tray from some Exterior Ply and some hardwood, this sits on the tabletop and when you need to clear away for another job it sits under the worktop.

I think I'll make another couple of those trays. They are ideal for helping to double up the available bench space and help to organise the tools you use on various jobs too.

I also cnc'd some little compartmentalized trays for storing Lathe Tools and Micro Drill bits, milling cutters etc. Being able to find stuff - should help make all those little repetitive Lathe jobs a little easier too.

IKEA Shelf Brackets fitted under desktop



Tray made - fits under desk when it's time to pack away!


Lathe Tool Storage - will fit into draws mounted underneath Taig Lathe
