I have a workbench and I also use my table saw top. I also use a work mate for some heavy sanding jobs out doors with the belt sander, as my shop vac really won't contain all of that sawdust created by a belt sander.
I was fortunate enough to get some lower cabinets with doors when a business was going out of business so i can store most of my hand held tools out of the way and behind closed doors.
