You've seen my shop, shortly after this pic was taken.  No window above the
bench, but a shelf about 2": below eye level, then the power strip / tool
rack some inches above the work surface.  Because of rust concerns, I don't
keep edge tools behind the power strip, but awls, turnscrews, plane hammer,
squares and marking gauges are there for the most part.  The shelf holds a
joiner too big for the drawer, some folding rules, bottles of BLO beeswax
turps., scratch paper, winding sticks etc.  There is a magnet on the front
now for sticking ideas up, project notes, etc.

Dang, forgot about the two holes for holdfasts on the end, they have not
been home in a while.  Of course, the whole bench hasn't been that clean
since the Bagathon in 2010
