    Workbench tool tray - Yay or nay?

    Hope to get a proper workbench built this year. I see some benches with and some without tool trays. There are a lot of threads around the web, but after reading for a while I am still undecided as to whether it is needed or not. So, what does the NCWW have to say on the topic?
