As you work and more items accumulate on the surface, they will creep to the edges and fall off. It is worth having some beading around the perimeter to prevent this.
Many items are also dropped from the bench peg area, so you will need a 'skin', or a pull out drawer to catch these.
The skin can be traditional, or something as simple as an old apron fitted with eyelets and suspended from cup hooks.
You are also better wearing an apron, not only to protect your clothes, but also as an additional device to help catch small dropped items when seated.
When all else fails have a torch handy. Dennis.
