I'm finding that with limited space in my shop that some portable work benches are a life saver. First with about 1hr of work&about $20 worth of lumber&casters old desks can make great mobile work benches. Also for repairmen on the go sturdy old ironing boards make a very cheap take-with-you bench....just food for thought .......

I use some old dressers and I've seen many other kinds of old household furniture pressed into shop duty.

I agree.....file cabinets,especially heavy duty, are wonderful storage for parts&projects ......

Greatest little workbench I have is a black and decker workmate I made a table top for it with edges to stop stuff falling from it then screwed a 2x4 to the bottom
I open the workmate jaws and clamp the table top by the 2x4 I can work anywhere out under a tree ,verandah wherever I want

Ha as I type I've got three saws on top of a piece of plywood which is on top of my table saw .I don't need more space I just need to learn to put stuff away when I'm done with it .
