Hopefully if my wife doesn't find too many more projects, I can get started on building a real workbench. I can see it done in my head but I can't settle on the size or having a recessed tool tray. I would like some comments from the group regarding these problems.

I am not limited as to size as I have a dedicated 24x32 shop so I don't need or want a mini bench. I have quite a few 2x8x8 SYP boards that will be ripped for a 2 3/4- 3" laminated top, the question is what size?
