Until recently I had a 2.5 foot by 1.5 foot fold down table on wheels that was my mums as my work station, and something I can only describe as two shelves on wheels as my modelling area, in my living room, it got a bit too cluttered too easily, and I would get annoyed and not want to build anything. I have since built a new top with anti carpet monster lips on the edge, it has given me nearly four times the work space. Which still gets cluttered, so, I made a box shaped tray at one end of it to stuff full of the tools and other bits I don't use all the time. I am thinking of putting another tray ON the other end.
