[Woodcarver] Shop colors & bench layout

[Linehan718 at aol.com]

My bench is a nice sturdy woodworking bench. with 2x10 planks for the top.  I 
have $3 tool holders along the back and side wall.  got them at true value.  
each one holds about 50 chisels of all different sizes in a vertical position. 
 My saving grace is a 15" wide very shallow drawer that i attached directly 
to the bottom of the workbench top.  I lay out horozontally all the chisels 
which i am using in my current carving.  the drawer slides out of the way or 
stays open as a conveinent work tray.  this way my carving is attached to the 
workbench directly in front of me and when standing or sitting in front of it, if 
I pull out the drawer, I am surrounded by chisels and other carving items on 3 
sides of me,  with my rotary tools hanging from the ceiling over me which i 
can pull down. Directly under my workbench is my shop vac and scrollsaw on a 
slide out tray.  I have often carved for 8 hours at a clip or more without 
having to move from my spot once(cept for bathroom and kitchen breaks).
