When I needed extra light on my workbench, I clamped a board to the back of the tool well and then clamped a work light to that. Frustrated with that arrangement, I built this fixture to hold the light and some of the tools I use most often.

The caddy has three parts: the front and middle blocks get glued together and are about 14-in. wide. The back upright is about 22 -n. high. Start by thickness-planing the center block, leaving it slightly thicker than the back of the tool well. Before gluing up, drill holes along the centerline of the middle block and near the top of the upright for the cord. Dadoes in the rear of the front face hold squares, rules, and other small tools. Once installed, the caddy is easy to reposition or remove completely as needed.
