Hi Dave and all,

    When my husband kicked me out of our basement studio, I got his side
    of the garage.... I laid out my bench and soldering station at 90 
    degrees to each other.  All I do know is turn to my left and I have a
    messy soldering station!  I know that I could never solder, file,
    sand, set stones etc all one location.  As it is now, I have to clean
    my main bench just to set stones.  I usually, wait until I have a
    number of pieces to do and just do it.  That gets the sweeps draw
    cleaned out and everything put back in  its place.  I now even have
    set up a second bench just for wax carving!  Guess having the space
    to spread out  is a luxury or necessity?
