You see Monica , Jim has the best kept bench on the forum.
Several of us have attempted and failed to gain entry to the world famous Tidy Bench Club .
Infact many have tried, most fail as re inspections can occur at any time.
You of course may have an advantage living in Australia as it would take some time to arrive .

Mine is a knackered Ikea table that folds away.
Sometimes in the spare room, sometimes in the conservatory.
So much paint on it that it resembles a Monet masterpiece.
Here's mine. Not much to show but it might be interesting to see how it changes over the years.
Repurposed my old woodworking/router bench in the shed. Added a bit of old carpet, a cheap Ikea stool, a couple of lights and we're away.
Everything I need is always just out of reach but I have the intention of building a DIY extractor at the back of the desk, vented outside, which can have shelves above and drawers either side. Will see if I ever get around to that!
Short and sweet!!! My dining table is my work space so I set it up the way I wanted. It's just me at home and that's it...
The laptop is normally in the gap to the left next to the TET and not on my work space. Not in the photo is my big LED lamp or my paint booth made of card board boxes with exhaust fan.
Work area of cave. My age is evident by incense burner & scented candle assortment atop left speaker tower. Date/time stamp seems to be a default as I don't update it.
Cave annex work area.

Paul, it appears you have moved into the mom cave lock stock and barrel. A lot warmer in the winter I'd imagine. Is the snow gone yet? After that last blast of a couple weeks ago I was wondering if you got as hammered as they did in other parts of the Midwest and upper great lakes areas. Rick H.

Your work area looks really busy Moses Paul! But then again, if it was clean, people would talk......Watched you on TV again yesterday for the 20th time...……..Sorry, couldn't resist my friend.
I hope spring has sprung in Ohio and you are not too busy outside.
Rick, I have indeed. Has a register for A/C & heat so is more comfy, but poor lighting for close work. The weather is so crazy I no longer pay attention as I live on high ground and don't usually have to shovel more than 4" of snow at a time. Allen, been workin my narrow white butt off. Friend from work brought his just finished 87 Frankenvette to work & smoked'em all the way past the dealership. Brought a tear to my eye & a thought for my garage queen.

If we had 4" of snow the world here would end as we know it :flushed:.Paul.

Some very good attempts for membership of the club I note with delight one which could make the grade, yes you Peter.
Any one who can get a pair of steps into the mix has a very strong chance of full time membership.
other near contenders I can see are Andy ( An armoured cable run, along with some storage like that )
now here is a bench to be well and truly proud of. I have seen this so full it is a world class bench, and in a class of its own.
Next contender who passes all section for entry is boatman.
Splendid effort Chris, and welcome .
Simon T , now here is a mystery, how he manages to cut, saw and glue whilst keeping awake while sitting is amazing.
We don't have a class for knees as of yet.
Also the use of a table must mean that the user is tidy, as they have to clear everything away to continue living.
So again these poor souls are not eligible to apply for membership of the Untidy Bench Club, but may send a signed photo of their table to Jim. Who no doubt might lets some of you in.
