My work bench is part of the bay in my basement, I had an old 3x4 butcher block table I used as the base, I added 2x4 on the side walls to support pieces of 3/4 finish grade plywood. Then I added the pegboard system (I inherited about 100 peg board hangers), added more, and had a good tool storage system. I installed the bench vise at one end. I much prefer working on a wood bench top.
