My New Man-Cave - under development....

[BarryW]

Ian - the drawers are bigger than they look.


The external measurements of the modules are a tiny bit under 12" by 6" so the internal measurements of the larger drawers is about 11" by 5 1/2" and you have the movable partitions that can sub-divide them into up to 10 small drawers. They are about 1 1/2 " high. The smaller drawers are about 2" high, x 5 1/2" x 2 1/2" wide. That is from memory.


They are really flexible.


I will fit in most things from cotton buds (I use 4 types), drills, knife blades, scissors, lead wire, clamps. There will not be much I dont fit inside some long brass tubing, large plastic card, a couple of my largest clamps maybe.

I hadn't realised (until reading your thread) that magnets are used to hold the units together - very clever!

When I last worked for a living the place was supplied with posh new desks. They came in three units: left and right drawers and the writing surface. All three were held together with Velcro. It worked.

That is way cool and far too organised for me..........but I gotta have one!!

Thanks Barry I may just have to get some.

A small set-back - my carpenter has to go to a funeral and has re-booked to do the job on the 25th! another week to wait....

[BarryW]

The carpenter has done his job....






I have two shelves propped up on the left to fit when i work out exactly where. First though do all my modules and spray booth fit? Yes they do........






I next need to fit another light above the main work area for which I have a wall fitting. Once that is done I will decide where to fit the two shelves and then load the modules with paint and tools. One of the paint models was damaged so I have ordered a replacement from SMS. Some carpet to be fitted soon

[Adrian "Marvel" Reynolds]

That looks like an amazing set up Barry, can I ask, your spray booths, don't they have hoses on the back?

Barry: That huge articulated light you have to the left of the new work area. Where did you buy it and what is its model name? I would like to have one.


Your setup looks perfect.


Thanks.

[BarryW]

Ade, no these are designed to filter out the particulates without needing to be vented. Not ideal if you spray with enamels or other smelly type paints but ideal for paints like Vallejo.


Steve. I got the light and another like it for over the work area, but a bit higher powered, from Amazon. The one over the paint area is a daylight one that gives a softer light, ideal for airbrushing.

Looking good Barry I like the trailing socket under your work bench. Do you have more details on the light on the left? you said it was from Amazon what is the model and make?

Thanks. Couldn't find it on Amazon. They have over a dozen pages of lamps, and one similar to yours costs £350!


I have a perfectly good lamp but it wakens my computer every time I switch it on!

Here it is Steve and Vaughan

Tell him to hurry up or it will be his own Barry,


Only kidding best wishes go out to him.


Oops I should read them all before I post anything

[Vaughan]

Ummm.. a little out of my price range Barry but that said it looks like a nice bit of kit, I thought I was spending a lot when I spent £42 on one of my lamps.

[BarryW]

Not much news yet.  We have still not moved in as we are awaiting the exchange on the missus' home.  I also don't even have any key as the builder has them with snagging going on. When we go over to the house there are other things she wants me to do rather than finish off the work area!


Here is what it looks like now.  I have to get my drill out to fix a bracket for a light over the build area and fit a couple of display shelves on the 'cheeks' of the alcove.
