Hey a detached garage not perfect but definitly better for late night engine noise too. 
and my favorite 
and my favorite 
"A rear bench". Hmmmm, do you mean a place out back where you can sip a beer and 'engineer' on your next bike project?.
I'd suggest a roofed, covered bench so if it rains you can still sit outside. Might want to consider drink holders in the arm rests

Good deal, looks like a 18 foot door so probably the building is about 24 feet wide. The vinyl siding can be poped back together, I use bleach to clean mine.
Yes they cut down a bush that stained the siding... I'll power wash it and fix the loose siding. Inside I don't think they ever used the garage..its hit a great concrete floor and looks like new...its wired but I hafta hook up the wires to have 220..I need a wire feed welder again.. Argh!
Looks kinda like mine, mine is 30x30 in the main part.

P.S. please send a picture of the boat.
Sorry, Racie, I was being facetious and that isn't what you were asking for."A rear bench". Hmmmm, do you mean a place out back where you can sip a beer and 'engineer' on your next bike project?.

Work benches should be stout and able to take some abuse. Build it strong and bigger than you think it needs to be. Drawers and cabinets with shelves will be useful too.
Devote one end to heavy work and one to lighter stuff. The heavy end needs to be able to support a good sized bench vice and something solid to hammer on.
The other end should be well lit for small intricate work, like carburetor rebuilds, etc. and have a smooth work surface.
Good lighting is essential over the whole bench.
Good luck and congratulations. Show us what you come up with as far as your 'shop' goes.

I have three work tables in my shop I built out of sturty built racking like you see in home depot or Lowes, the racks clip together so if needed can be moved by one person. I like my work bench fairly tall, I made them 42" tall and have a light fixture centered over each bench. Like Tom said build bigger than you need if you can, I have a drill press on one end of one section and a bench grinder on the other with a three foot space between. The main work table has OSB on the wall with almost any wrench or tool I might need. I used duraliner bed liner on the table surface which is one inch of OSB, it turned out smooth and any thing that spills on it wipes right up.
I have a WolfCraft fold up bench, but you probably want something with a lot of work surface, so maybe not for you.
