BENCHWORK HEIGHT

[NW Modeling List]

I built mine higher, to be closer to eye level.  I am pleased with the result.  The only downside that I feel is that I must stand on a stool to work on parts of it.  With a shelf layout, reaching over parts of it to work on an area behind should be less of a problem.  An advantage is easier work on the wiring and switch mechanisms under the layout.  Rail head is 48 to 53 inches from the floor.

  Hello All
   
  A topic sure to get a varied response (!); what do y'all feel is the optimal height for benchwork? Kalmbach book says 38".  Specific application is a (mostly) shelf layout.  Ceiling height is a bit limited, about 6'6" (remodeled basement).
   
  Any thoughts welcome!
