In my workshop/train room, I am currently using an old carpet.  If you 
decide to do this, be sure to get one with low shag.  The only reason I 
have this thing, is that my workshop floor is wooden, and very warped.  
I also suggest, that if possible, keep your workbench area free of 
carpet.  That way, if a small part gets dropped, it'll be easier to 
find.
