Thanks for the comments guys, this is the third bench I've made. The rack itself gives me 5, three and a half foot tall bays, plenty of room. I bought the actual drilled/threaded rack pieces, and about 80 feet of 3/4" angle, and welded it up in an afternoon. The bench is 4 by 8 feet, the size of a full sheet of plywood, and being able to move the bench away from the wall is a must, it just makes everything so much easier. The pictures make it look better than it is in person, and it won't take long to start showing a few battle scars.
Fred, you've seen how I did it so just get busy, it shouldn't take more than a couple weeks, part time. I certainly wouldn't ever chop up a functional work bench, and as for the coffee cup, buy one of those little heaters, glue it to one of the benches, and the cup will always have a home. I think your ordering a bench or two would pointless, although there isn't much of a backlog (zero to be exact), the crew spends far too much time playing to even consider some sort of a deadline.
