I just finished building my new electronics lab workbench downstairs in the basement. I really like it. I used the 2x4 Basics kit from Amazon.com which lets you easily create a custom workbench using only 2x4's and plywood sheets. I used a high quality finished oak 3/4" plywood for the top. The basement is unfinished and a bit dingy so I decided to make the bench enclosed. It is 6 feet wide and 3 feet deep. I also installed a True-HEPA air purifier which creates a positive pressure inside the benchtop area, especially when it is closed up. I am trying to achieve an equivalent of an ISO 6 or Class 1000 clean space. I want it clean so I don't get any dust buildup on my parts and test instruments. I'm also looking to do some vacuum chamber experiments with metal film deposition and I need clean air for my 2 stage rotary oil sealed vacuum pump. I just need a Bell Jar and test stand now...
