Customize your bench based on what you will be using for. You could turn it into an electronics bench, woodworking bench, a general use workbench or any number of other specific purposes. I will be using this workbench primarily for working on and maintaining my vehicles so I set it up to hold tools only used for that (jack, jack stands, ect.), parts and supplies (replacement parts, oil, etc.), and other modifications to help while working. Post your thoughts for mods in the comments.

Current Modifications
  • A bracket, made from the left over support wood and another small piece of wood, that holds my creeper on the back of the bench.
  • A power strip, attached to the side of the bench, allows me to run multiple electronics and tools at the same time when it is plugged in.
Future Modifications
  • Magnetic bolts-n-things holder.
  • Dock/stand for tablet.
  • Bolt on/off bike stand.
  • Book stand/holder for repair manuals.
  • Lighting.
  • Air compressor.
  • Vice.
If and when I make any significant modifications I'll update with pictures and a blurb.
