Ian,
For the sake of entertaining the assembled masses, you'll have to let us know which word you use the first time you drop Heljan loco/glue/paint/solder/soldering iron on the surface...
Looks too nice to be a workbench. However it may be a WT first in that your workbench thread shows a workbench rather than the post-card sized section of it you're actually able to use.

I had a thought I'd shown mine when I rebuilt the front room workshop, but I am mistaken. Anyway, most of the time you can't see the bench for everything on it!

Steph, I have a cunning plan. It's called laminate worktop ;-) When I re-do the kitchen I'm going to take a length of that and put it on top, plus I have various mats and other material for working directly on. The black slab is a marble kitchen board from Tesco which will be for checking locomotive frames etc.
Heather, my friend Pete has suggested that it won't look like that for long, but I will be diligent in keeping it tidy and clutter free.

Hah: I've heard that one before - mostly said by me when peering at the six square inches of available surface.

A friend of mine spent all his time sorting out his workshop and making jigs for all sort of things but he never finished a model!

I had to lower the worktop a little more so removed the legs from the cabinets. It is now all fixed in place.
Is it cluttered enough yet ?
