I have seen lots of very interesting workbenches over the years that use some creative ideas to save time and add functionality. The one below was featured on Make last year, the creator had limited space and needed a small setup that would provided big functionality. I would like to see what other ideas are available to make our hacking and building lives easier.
The prize for this contest is a 4GB iPod Nano. Contest dates are September 6 – October 31, 2008.
Your entry needs to be added to this forum thread to be considered.
The first 20 entries will get a loupe magnifier shown below. These are great for hunting down small defects on circuit boards and will be sure to make a great addition to your bench tools.

Need to run this contest again!! I *finally* have a proper house, and thus a proper workshop. (I was so eager, I set up the workshop before setting up my bedroom or any of the other rooms in the house 🙂
