Hi All,

I'm finally going to build a true workbench when I move into my new home with 2 car garage/workshop.

Most workbenches seem to have the front mounted vice on the left end and the end vice on the right side. Given that most are right handed, should I consider switching the layout?

I've not worked on a bench with built-in vices and the like so I have no personal opinions or habits on the matter... So I'm looking for input from the fellow lefties of the world.

Also... as an aside, I'm curious as to folks opinions on either having a tool well in the rear off the tabletop or maximizing the space and keeping it all solid.

I have to admit, I'm not sure what you do with the tool well. Do you pile up frequently used tools in there? I would think that it could become a bit of a wastecan for shavings and scraps so I'm not sure I'd want my tools down there too!

Thanks for your time,
/Kevin
