A complete strip down and redo of my bench is going to happen over Easter. Too many additions since it was last reorganized that it is now going to take a completely fresh approach.
Hopefully the 4 days will be long enough to remove everything, clean, put everything back and wire the racks / bench. It's going to take a fair bit of planning before hand to see what layout of benches / tool chests / racks will work best.
Here is my current workplace.
Waiting for my Scope (Rigol DS1054z).
It seems that nearly everyone else starts out their labs with something that mine lacks... basic organizational things. lol most of my rather large part stash is housed in flat rate boxes!! ....At least I still know where everything is... for now.

The first picture is from 2013, second picture is 2+ years worth of time , energy and money . Slowly upgrading into a better place. I welcome suggestions, ideas as well as criticism.
Here is a current photo of my electronics workbench.
This is only 1/8 of my shed, the rest of for other hobbies.
But did you win the 3D printer? (competition web page on your screen)
The laptop can easily be removed leaving a decent, but not huge, work area.
That's such a nice deck, I would be paranoid about setting anything sharp down on it! And ESD mat might be a good thing to have, just as protection on that nice wood!
What the blank 1U front panel unit will hold, I'm still thinking about. A bunch of minor but useful stuff I'd like to have always right at the desk. Small coax patch panel, some low power fixed supplies (+3.3, +5, +12, +/-15, 24VAC, etc. An isolated mains ZC detect circuit. Heavy duty connector posts for the beefy supplies (and their sense lines) that are on the rear of the units.
Hmm... what else?
Having one easily accessible switch that turns off all the equipment in the rack is so great, why didn't I do this before?
Now I want to add front master switches to the shelves above the desk.
What is that big meter on the top shelve reading ? Temp ?
@ATATek, are the walls painted "Tek Blue" ? HiHi
I dunno - I see empty slots in in plug in racks - get yourself some DM 501s, 502s, 503s, etc...
