So far Dr. H's is my favorite. I love the clean/organized look. I really cant get any work done unless everything around me is clean and organized. Here's mine: modest, yet effective for someone on a budget. I should be acquiring some new equipment for my next project!
Yeah I go in stages. I get my desk and workbecnh 100% clean, and after a month it will be super messy due to project jumping. Generally when I have to work on a project at my desk I just clean only that half, so I have room t work on stuff specifically related to that project. I just get use to the "shove it to make room" but when I do stuff like high voltage on my desk, theeeeeeen I clean it for sure, so theres nothing in the way to risk acting to, or making contact to risk harm to my self on metal objects.

I don't really have a proper workbench yet... just a long fold-up table sitting in my basement. However, I can still relate to the general clutter and cleanup cycle.

Zombie thread, back from the dead.
My workbench is in the garage (unfortunately). And shared with other equipment and tools.
Just the basics on the shelf. Other infrequently used instruments are in adjacent storage cabinets.
Opposite of the workbench is a semiconductor manufacturing equipment area.
Other side of the garage has a mill, lathe, wave solder system, robot, stage equipment, big DRSSTC's (one belongs to Goodchild), and various flying toys.

I Just built this bench 2 and half weeks ago. Very sturdy bench, legs are douglis fir, top is two hardwood birch stacked on top each other. I Built this one because I got so fed up of the mess in the garage, I decided to just make a new one instead of clean the old one haha got my most necessary utilities here on this bench. And surrounding it is boxes stacked floor to ceiling in the entire basement, 15-20 years of piling up crap and telling myself, "oh i'll use this someday..."
