Have to say, seeing that saw sticking up in the middle of the bench makes me wince a bit. I could see myself swinging a job round while I'm working on it, & doing the saw a serious injury! Long ago, I saw a bench with a rack attached to the back, where tools being used were put 'out of the way'. I thought it was such a good idea I immediately made one & attached it to the back of my own bench. It lasted about a week, I found the handles sticking up like that were continually getting in the way.
So I removed it, & started training myself to put any tools I won't be needing within the next few minutes back in their place in the tool cupboard, which is a short step to the right of the bench. Thirty years or more on, I'm fairly consistent (most days!), but I have occasional lapses & the bench-pile starts to build up until I realise I'm spending more time looking for tools than using them & stop & clear the deck....
