    I use a computer table as a bench.  It is wide and deep, it holds
    lots of tools and looks like the more cluttered workbenches shown on
    Orchid.  However, I wish I had a bench with a cutout.  The bench
    pin, where I spend most of my time sawing, filing and forming small
    parts, is over my lap.  These small items frequently pop off the
    bench pin and take unpredictable bounces on the floor.  So, I clamp
    the bottom of my shop apron to the table to form a net to catch
    these items.  Now I am too far away from many of my tools, and need
    to unhook the apron to move over to the hammering or soldering
    areas.  My ideal workbench would have a cutout front so I could
    easily reach tools and it would have a retractable leather sling to
    catch filings and items that slip off of the bench pin.
