re: New Workbench - sort of

Hey thanks for the compliment !

I used 100 lb full extension slides. No dividers yet, still contemplating that, just big open space on the inside.

Although these come from Peachtree woodworking, I do like the Rockler set as well. The lift is around 3/4" off the floor (I think). Since you do one corner at a time, you have time to watch things left on the bench as you lift each one. Your tools could roll off but I haven’t had any problem with that.

You might reconsider these if you have a heavy bench. My experience is the motion upward is somewhat smooth and effortless. My bench isn’t that heavy though. If I had a monster Roubo with a 6" slab I might need to stand on the pedal to lift it up.
The thing that does catch my attention is lowering it back down. When you release it comes down pretty fast and thuds on the floor. That’s when I remove any chisels or whatever that may roll off.
I don’t find myself moving it around a lot. But when I do it’s nice. Turns on a dime on a smooth floor. Beats dragging it around, so for me it was worth it to install them
