Can one bench do it all?

[David Wilson]

I've got a smallish area for my workshop in my basement.  I've got three hobbies--fly tying, reloading, and woodworking.  I've looked at the great bench plans at the woodsmith shop, and am wondering if any of you out there use your benches for multipurpose setups like this.

 

it would seem that some things that make a bench good for one doesn't necessarily translate to the other.  I may try and build stations for the two non-woodworking activities off to the side of the main workbench. 

 

would love to see pics of any similar setups.

Main attributes to a workbench, IMO, is that it's large and flat. Differences really come with the height. Woodworking you would normally want to stand where flytying and reloading are more of a sitting activity. Maybe just a tall stool?

I have a layout table in the middle of my shop and a work bench along on side. I find the layout to be the center of most of my projects.
