I would have liked small shelves underneath as well, but since I couldn't brace them to the floor it limited my options. I also wanted leg room under the bench (it's sized for standing at, but I may be sitting at it as well). > By the way - where did you get that air compressor? What do you use it > for besides tires ... :) I picked it up at Lowes - it's probably too large for my needs, but it was only $40 more than the 8 gallon and came with a nice tool set. Compressors can be connected to ALL SORTS of tools. Most of the tools are limited use but they tend to be cheaper than stand-alone tools of the same type. Mine came with a basic air gun (great for cleaning), a rotary tool (Dremel type), a cut-off tool (mini-cutter/grinder), an impact hammer (an itty-bitty jack hammer) and an impact wrench (mostly for car tire lug nuts - not very useful for me). You can also get brad/nail guns, paint sprayers/air brushes, sand-blasters, disc-sanders, etc. One of my favorites is the caulking guns - they cost more than the manual ones (about $20 rather than $3-5) but give you completely even pressure with no pumping - perfect beads as long as you can hold steady enough. ;^) Oh - you can also get drills which (since they lack a motor) tend to be much smaller than regular drills and can often fit in much smaller places. The downside is the noise (the compressor, when running, is deafeningly loud) and the fact that you're tethered by a hose. Still - mine is defiantely more than I need right now but the cost differences are small as you go up the chain (like computer equipment) and you're always tempted to get "just a little more".
