Thumbs up built desktop work bench $ under $60 check it

like some of you, i myself was always trying to find a place to work on my crawlers..so i had an idea.. i had an older flat desk and just added a upright with light and pegboard.. the light works awesome.. got it all at home depot for all under $60. i think my favorite thing is the solder gun holder..i can use it with one hand and not worry about the point burning something.. here are some pics. tell me what u think!

I wish I keep myself confined to that small an area, but that looks good.
put a shelf above for the growing collection and get some drawer sliders from home depot (10 bucks) and build yourself a drawer under the the bench top if you outgrow that space.

I have a whole room and its not enough haha, I really like the pegboard wall, I have a desk me and my brother built a long time ago and it gets covered in crap/tools all the time (desk is 5ft wide, 2.5ft deep), a pegboard with tool holder would help a ton, looks good, but to small for my taist

Looks great, and seems like it wuld be easy to expand in the future by adding some shelving or something on the sides

Either that or a work mat. Cow RC makes some nice magnetic ones. I dig the peg board!

Good clean area. Well lit. A bit small.

I Like the soder gun holster. I've melted a lot of stinky plastic stuff laying around when I soder. lol

I really did LOL when I seen the mini anvil and vise. Never seen ones so small before.

I have a problem with screws falling off my table and getting lost in the crazy 80s pattern carpet. A small lip edge on the table may help eh?

Very neat and organized. Good lighting makes all the difference in the world.
Might want to turn the solder iron the other direction, the first thing I would do would be to burn my arm on it that way

Nice. I agree about the soldering iron. I noticed you put your vise there to keep your elbow away from it, but if you ever move the vise, you might forget.

Nice tidy little shop, and those mini Ignition wrenches are sweet aren't they?

I use mine all the time.

Looks good. I especially like the Tap Handle. It just needs a Keg on the other end
