how is your shop setup? benches especially! if you could share a plan or 2 on the bench that would be great! But anyways, show pics of your shop! i wanna learn how other people do it before i setup my own.

everyone has a different amount of space, different tools, and different resources, it all revolves around that.

Depends on you...
...on your place
your tools / power tools
your budget
your needs and desires

It's YOUR shop, the best thing is to do it like YOU want it.
And a ship is never finished... you will always move, change, get out, get in and build different things...

my "shop" is actually the end of our garage.
12' x12'.
i built 2 workbenches out of scraps of doubled up 3/4" ply, with 2x4 legs and supports.
about 2-1/2' x 4', that can easily be moved around.
then i built 3, 5' x 3' x 12" shelves on wheels to be able to move them around.
just got rid of my bandsaw, so it's better working in that little squirrel hole.
