Designing Your Benches from Scratch?

In a week or two, I will be taking delivery on a pre-fab 10’x20′ cabin with loft to build into my micro-house.

The loft means I don’t have to waste valuable bench-space on a bed, but other than an insulated roof, this is basically full DIY for me.

I’m looking forward to the experience and I have the safety equipment from my travel trailer, but other than that – the exhaust system, fire extinguisher and plumbing (smoke detector too! Just thought of that) I’m designing my bench layout from scratch.

Experienced jewelers and metal-crafters:

What would you do if you had the chance to design your workspace?

Which details are critical to put in place?

I’ve never taken my own space without being limited by what’s already there, so I’d like to hear your input.

Thank you!
