Fuselage assembly bench

So I’m getting to the point where the fuselage forward assembly is too large to fit on my workbench. It looks like I’m going to need to build a separate “assembly” bench to put all the sub-assemblies on for when the longerons come together.

My thinking is a wooden bench on wheels, so I can move it around the workshop. Can I ask what others have done at this stage? What size bench you found useful? Of if you did something completely different?
 
I built two 2ftx4ft tables at about 25inches high. I can rest the forward fuse on one table and the tail on the other. After the fuse was in it’s own wheels, the tables served as moveable tool tables in my small garage
 
As I recall there wasn’t much to support when my build was where you are at.
Not long after this I went to the engine stand rotisserie.
