what would you do differently if you could build your studio all over again from scratch?

Where would you locate your bench, against the wall or as an island?

I just moved and get to set my studio up in our unfinished basement . Budget is limited so I will be DIY as much as possible. The space is approx. 11' x 14'. I can't decide if the bench (yet to be built) should go against a wall or make it an island . I plan to torch boro and solder jewelry at the bench.

the electrician is coming soon and I have to decide where to put the outlets work out the ventilation scheme.

Any studio design, tips & tricks, input, suggestions, etc are welcome! Thank you in advance
