I took the first picture and thought I should clean up a little. Spent about 5 minutes shoving everything off to the side.
Dont mind the spudgun in the first pic... This room is right next to my bedroom in my basement. There are some advantages to still living with your parents!
I recommend a fluorescent light over the workbench. I put an outlet thing where the light bulb goes. There is still a light bulb socket on that and then I plugged in the fluorescent light in that so it turns on with the switch.
