What a long strange trip it's been. About a month short of the 8th anniversary of my packing up and moving across country, I have settled back, God willing, into my final base. And dark as it may be, here's my nice new work area:
The previous owner(s) did a lot of working down here, and some of the surfaces and drawers are stained with not-friendly-to-models oil. I will try to seal or resurface it.

It looks like a great space to work in. Lots of room. You could almost host a club down there.

Wow, that is one big space!

Hi Guys, glad you like it. However, for now, it's filling up fast with SWMBO's stuff.
More in-use shots pending.

After more than a year I've finally had some time to straighten up my area and start turning chaos into a modeling area. Here is part of the space.

Some free advice: Cover the primary work area with a white or very light colored surface. That will make it easier to find small parts that are trying to escape.
Lots of dark areas will also "eat" light.

I like those shelves in the last photo. Hope you have heat/cooling down there.
