    Me too. I used to use a cut-out because in New Zealand people here
    generally use the British/European tradition, but after I travelled
    to the US and saw many straight benches with sweeps drawers instead,
    I decided when renovation time came around to build 7 new benches
    with straight benchtops and sweeps drawers. I like them (as you do
    whe you are using one method). There is more benchtop area, and I
    too move around a lot more than the typical sedentary goldsmith. I
    spread designs out on the bench, I arrange all sort of stuff there. I
    also make jewellery there, so the benches are more all-purpose
