discussion Workbenches...

[Mini Me]

Here's a stock photo of my work space.....including the Drill Press and Belt/Disc sander.....paint booth is a temporary cardboard surround and all fumes vented out the window. Stash is located on the shelf above the bench in boxes (so Smitty can't see them!) over 700, last count. Not anything to write home about, but serves my purposes.

I see the most important bit of storage is just to the right within arms reach:hungry:

You are very observant Mark!! That is my go to, once a week.......Just so happens it is tonight!.......'ats right folks, it's Steak and Whiskey Thursday (Thirstday to some). So when the MISSUS gets home from shopping we indulge in a little "Happy Hour" with a few different cheeses, crackers and perhaps some Summer Sausage......tides us over till later when the "Chef" (himself) gets round to working his magic in the Medium Rare department.

OH how could you Colin, letting the side down.

I live in a small stone cottage that is 250 years old. As you can imagine, space is at a premium but, as I live on my own, I was able to turn the second bedroom into a modelling den.

This is my main modelling bench. The monitor at the back is a second one so that I do not have to turn my head to the right when accessing reference material on my PC. I have a lot of EBMA units to hold tools etc:

To the right of my main bench is another one where my PC is:

To the left of the main bench are more EBMA units and my spray booth:

These are jigsaw puzzle sorter trays that I use for builds underway and on the left are my Airfix Magazine Annuals and Modelling Guides. The white unit in the middle is a UV lamp for restoring yellowed decals:

The red toolbox contains spare paints. Reference material and plastic card is above that. Top of picture are more builds in boxes and decal drawers:

Rick I see you still have the photo up of a certain dubious trio !

I shouldn't worry Mr race, nature deplores a vacuum. Said tidy bench is like a black hole, drawing everything towards itself.

 

[colin m]

Did you find many parts you'd lost? :smiling2:
Pete

I did hear a few noises, but I only vacuum after a build, so what ever vanished, c'est la vie.

 

[colin m]

Completely agree Colin,
As a NOSEY BUGGER inquisitive kinda chap,i do like to see what others have arranged for themselves :thumb2: ......
..... also,i DO love to zoom in on the pics and try to see what they have in their stash,if some of it`s on view,not because i want to pinch their ideas,(My stash is big enough as it is!!:flushed,no,it`s just because i find it interesting to see what we all go for:hugging-face: .
Cheers,
Mr Snoop,in Devon!!

I quite like it when someone takes a pic of the bench with their favourite tipple on show. Or perhaps their favourite biscuit.

 

[colin m]

Don’t leave any flat surfaces then Colin…..

Oh err yes, that's just easier said than done. We even had a delivery one day, so the large box was in the hallway, ma'am came home, and put her bag on the box (nice flat surface) I suppose just because she could ? Who knows, female of the species, marking territory ?

To Bastardise a saying from "Stella Street".....
"My name is Andy Smith and I .... am a nosey modeller"

As I said JR, that was a "stock" photo..........here's the latest, I like to put names to faces, so I have written them all down on the back so I don't forget.......especially Mr. T......who is no longer available to "Critique" my work....so now he hovers over my bench with the rest of you good people, to keep an eye on my progress.

Rick, who's the toe rag on the left in the Cosford group photo? The only one who can't afford jeans that fit properly?!

570

 

[Mini Me]

Why that's old 570 "himself"......a great looking "bunch" one and all and I'm very pleased to have it posted in my work area.....I get many comments from family and visitors re: Who's that weird bunch of guys and then I get the chance to talk about the Forum and what a great support group it is for my therapy hobby and so the word spreads......at least that's the theory, anyway. :thinking:
