Wireless keyboard & mouse have made it easier, but the crap-free keyboard is looking pretty good to me now too!

The best mousing surface I found on the workbench was a scrap of laminate flooring. I have a contractor friend who saves them for me. The smooth durable surfaces have many uses in the shop. Awesome.

I know laptops (and now netbooks) dominate a lot of homes, and I'm always pushing to keep those high-priced items out of the way. I've heard some terrible stories about people splattering turpenoid or paints across the only system they have. But with the mounting scheme you've showcased, even a portable computer can be rigged safely out of the way to provide Web access/entertainment/resources. I should've known you would have that sorted out in some clever fashion. Looks like I'll be blocking in some time tomorrow to hang the spare monitor while projects dry out. Now that’s a proper workshop computer solution!

My craft room, which is going to get re-organized very soon, can only sustain the smaller, drafting table sized props and does not have a computer. When I am working in there I do find myself popping out to the living room to check this or that on the computer. I have seen, and played with, the roll up keyboards. You can get them for around $20.
