I found an old computer server enclosure that was being tossed and salvaged the power strip that was in it. It's rated at 15Amps and has a built-in breaker that works! (I tripped it a couple of times.) very cool.
here's one that's 6' long:

If I had more room, I'd thought about bringing the table out from the wall about a foot so I'd have room for cabinets on the wall that would be accessible when the workbench is down. I'd also have room for a roll of paper to cover the bench when I need to do messy work.
I've since added a metal strip between the sliding all-thread rod and outer piece of wood to reduce friction. (The all-thread was digging into the wood. doh!) It's suprisingly easy to lift and lower the workbench now. I just haven't had time to replace the all-thread rod with a smaller rod and EMT tubing to create a simple bearing.
I've tossed around the idea of doing the same thing with a BT3100, but I haven't put that to paper yet.
