OK so i have been trying to find some where on the site photos of everyone work area's. so is there such a place. a place that everyone in here shows off their work areas or disaster area! planning on building an area of my own that i have in the basement. pretty large area to and the wife wants it to be a finished room. so i will have my man cave and be able to put my love me wall up as well. so is there a place for workshop photos? thanks...

This subject pops up every now and then. I guess there is no harm in doing another one, here is mine.

Erik, that is an awsome work shop. I do not have quite that much room but close to it. gives me some good ideas. you have a great work area. and i suppose that you have a diferent location for finished projects?

Use the search function and try mancave, work area, work bench, work space. There's a bunch of threads with Pics.

my mancave: http://s60.photobucket.com/albums/h23/mdlbldrmatt135/Hobby%20room/

heres mine!
for Games, Models, and TV

That looks awfully dangerous with the keyboard right next to all the modeling concoctions. Ever have any spills?

nope no major spills lol!!
anyways, its the only place in the house i can reallu use.

Matt and Erik!
I hate you guys! I´m soooo jealous you guys have all that space.

Erik, does a cocktail waitress come with the room,fridge, and lounge booth?
Inquiring minds would like to know about you Norwegians...........

Erik, every time this topic comes up and you post a photo of your work area, I make a point of showing it to the wife. Matt, I showed her yours too. Maybe one day....

James, you've turned out some fantastic work for such a small work space!

Right now I work on an old roll-top desk that I picked up from use furniture place. I'm hoping to add a separate desk for painting soon, since the roll-top is pretty cramped. I don't have any photos of my set up, but if I get the new paint desk then I'll be sure to snap a few.

The Joys of a "small" basement....... The Apt my ex & I rented I actually used a 36" wide 8' deep closet as a hobby room after my son was born.

Hmmmm, that might be an idea for the next upgrade...

Some really nice caves there... Allright, here's mine, it's about 6 months old... No TV, no PC and no waitress, but I love it anyway...




To the left is the library and behind the photographer (that would be me!) is the built cabinet.

Cheerio!

Some good stuff there. once i get my Cave done i will put up some PIC's. got a few ideas from some of these PIC's. thanks. now i got to get to work on the room.

Thanks Michael!

Benches are what we make them. We make them fit what we need them to do.
When I first moved into the house I live it now, I whipped up a good corner starter:

Over time, it evolved...I made the cabinet-supported benchtop and ditched the conference table.

Now, it's good and cozy. I have things around me I need and use and distractions galore!

Glad to share,

Here is mine...

Its a closet in my apartment right next to the laundry closet.. its got a whopping 4 feet by 3 feet of space.. course when you figure out the height I have a huge (if my math is right).. 80 cubic square feet of space to use..

Delbert, man, you've been working out of that closet for years! Props, brotha!
I'll tell ya what, it just shows all too well what I said about our benches are as good as we need them, huh?

Right on,
Cuhail

having no real work space ( ) i settle for tamiya's work stand

Here is my workbench...The craft table was hijacked from my wife and has become my table to airbrush on. Kit stash is in the basement.

Well heres a messy one to mix it up a bit !

I've been away working , and frantically try to finish something on my break , fly back to work tommorrow .

My "workbench" on one side of our livingroom. Little changes has happened after this photo, got a little cabinet for paints, brushes, etc.. but the table is same. Table is smaller than the box of 1/16 KT in length, thats why the " ". I so envy you guys, who have a whole room for your hobby.



You see....

Over the years I've found that no matter how big I make my bench, I wind up doing the actual work on a one square foot space in front of me. This is my Grandfather's drafting table, over 100 years old, surrounded by my cabinets. I can reach everything needed to build, paint, and display a model without moving.

Hi Matt:
What are, and where did you get the two lamps that are sitting on the right and left side of the table. They look very interesting, I would like to see if they would help my desk. BTW nice work area.

Robert

Matt, I totally agree......currently, i'm using a space in the spare bedroom but i've found that SWMBO keeps stuffing junk in there in an effort to get me out of the room......

here's a question, so we spend many hours in the happy place.....so what chair do you use? i've been searching for that perfect, soft, comfy, supportive throne for a while now and havent really found "it" yet....ive seen some people using a wooden chair and cant figure how one turns out after 3 hours on that mother
