Bob heres my set up, basic but gets the job done, its not a true work area, as its the spare room for storage and computer desk and anything random, but it works.
Rod bench is 36" high x 24" deep and 12' long, I have my power wrapper and extension on it now, I just clamp the wrapper to the table when I know Ill be doing a lot of work on it. easy to push against the wall when not in use.
8ft sheet of pegboard for rods and tools, plugs, random stuff, needs to be organized more and stuff needs to be put away. pegboard is cheap, its the hangers that cost $$$, buy more than you need as they get used up quick, I also picked up some tool holders that fit the peg board for scissors, pliers, etc.
Other work table is 36" high x 24" deep x 7' long, I used the end piece of the ply wood to make a lip on each side, this is my plug building area, i havent mounted the drill press and table saw in place yet, as Im still playing around with the layout, small shop vac mounted on the wall from lowes, power strip under it with everything plugged in, easy to kill power to everything that way. All fishing related bins under the table.
i used 2x4s for the leg, cheap and easy to get, and 3/4" cabinet grade plywood for the top, its level and smooth finish. plywood was the biggest cost, think it was $37
I put one 2x4 parallel on the wall first, then put the plywood to top of that and added legs, I also added braces since i took these pics to stop the legs from getting moved while moving bins or working. tables are sturdy and don't flex.
Check the cut off bin at the supply places, I got most of my legs in there for 51 cents each and just cut em to size.
I went with 36" cause you can sit or stand at that height where if you build the tables at 30" (standard desk height) you will have to sit or be really bent over while working on it.
good luck on your project
