workbench
Looking for more context ... like Chris. Are you indoors (sewing, handicrafts, etc), in the garage/shed, or ...) But this suggestion covers a wide range of activities, which corresponds to the ambiguity of your term.

fix-it bench
I'm suggesting this because in the sentence Florin quotes I detect a sense that the "he" who goes to fixarbänken does this a lot, and "gör om allt", because he sees himself as a Mr Fix-it, in a way that undermines the competence of the person who had "gjort det" before he "gjorde om det".
