My new work bench

[Electronic M]

I'd recommend having a test equipment shelf high enough above the bench that you can have an computer monitor or AIO PC (I got an old one free from work that I use) on the wall behind the bench to display downloaded schematics and such. The less test equipment you have on the chassis space of the bench the cleaner your work area....and that is important if you tend to have multiple projects going at once like me.

I have enough test gear that I have an overflow shelf that I keep the stuff I use least on.

Another thing that's nice to have is an old plastic record bin from a scrapped 60s audio console resting on a ledge on the side of the bench....I keep my most used hand tools on the bench, but the ones I need occasionally I put there to reduce clutter....If I put them farther away the time and annoyance in tracking them down makes me leave them on the chassis space making clutter.

It isn't bad to have a working TV, VCR and stereo on the bench both for entertainment (I've been known to recap to music or while a TV program I'm following is on), and for diagnostic purposes. You can feed audio into and out of a good stereo for troubleshooting audio stages (and use it to test component stereo/HIFI gear if you work on that), the bench TV can check signal, alignment and test pattern sources, the VCR can act as a source of RF and composite video and can take composite video in for troubleshooting other signal sources.
