always had my bench against a wall but lot of videos show the bench
away from walls so both sides are accessible
just seemed like having against a wall made the best use of floor space
but i was wrong about that as it has actually given me a better layout
now i can get to both sides
it is better for working and a lot easier for quick cleanup
Material can hang over the end / side and held up so material doesn't
have to be cut down to table size to use. Just like a table-saw in
front of a pull down door so material can hang out or be pushed through.
If one has a Huge shop yea. If small it gets tight.
In one house I had a desk - window. Table wall. Tabletop for work and
drill press grinder and small tools / work in the middle/side. Then
were the washer, dryer, Farm Sink, Hot Water, My metal cabinet for paint
and chemicals. But that was a small suspended 10' above the ground with
a 6" slab flying. Big 10x10 system underneath.
Now a 30x30 4 roll-up garage doors - I open three, keep 4 closed.
Tools/benches everywhere and materials. I put 3 17' trucks into it
after I got my stuff. Getting rid of some of it.

Sure, if it's in a normal room, a lot better for bigger projects and even just
panel cutting. But, not at all ideal for a car garage that's actually used for
cars. You can get away with quick projects, but not with furniture, invention,
welding or multi-layered finish application projects.

EC Is actually correct, especially in the case you described, since
his super duper benches are moveable so you can indeed park your
Ferrari in the same garage along with the old ladies Rolls Royce, you
just need to ask him how he does it.
And while you're at it ask him about his solar powered car wash at the
drive through entrance of his garage with water collected from rain
storms. I am sure your home owners club blog would want to see how it
is all done on less than an income of 5,000 dollars a month, eh?
Oh, and those wind powered wall clocks? A thing of beauty to behold
and the unused wind is bypassed to dust off everything in the house
saving his wife even more work so she can laze by the pool.
