discussion Show Your Work Space

[Guest]

You see Monica , Jim has the best kept bench on the forum.
Several of us have attempted and failed to gain entry to the world famous Tidy Bench Club .
Infact many have tried, most fail as re inspections can occur at any time.
You of course may have an advantage living in Australia as it would take some time to arrive .

Well as it seems its the time to show your bench / cave off here is mine.:smiling3:
Some may remember the transformation of my cave from my office, it is not as tidy as we speak, work in progress taking place with builds.
Have to say having the cave is great, you can just leave things as they are and come and go as you please. Doesn't mean the work is any better ! Only problem I will run out of display space fairly soon, as models are not really welcome in the house. In fact the only one is by Peter, which is on display in the front room .

The defunct :disappointed: CD player used as storage space.






John.

I envy yall's natural light. I guess I've traded space for light as I work in a cave below ground. Often too cold in the winter to work, but comfy in the summer. PaulE

Well, if there's an Untidy Bench Club, I'd like to apply for membership:

When I need the computer keyboard, the Humbrol workstation is put on top of a laptop case that sits on top of a filing cabinet behind me. Here's a glimpse of some of the other chaos in my 'office':

The metal toolbox near the bottom contains Tamiya paints, the others are in that wooden filing cabinet, which I made from some scrap plywood and the drawers from a cardboard cabinet.

Well Pete, you have a good taste in books I see. The Seventh Scroll by Wilbur Smith is a great read....

Just last December I redid my work area and added shelves and posted pictures here...you won't recognise it now...I'm back to working in a 10" by 10" spot on the table. :tears-of-joy::tears-of-joy:

Cheers,

You’re all lucky....I’ve just finished packing up my cave so it looks like an office. We are looking to move and ‘er indoors doesn’t think a fully functioning man cave is a selling point...no modelling until we move now.....:loudly-crying:

Nah, not by a long shot, I claim the tidiest by far

 

[Tim Marlow]

As I currently don’t have a bench, mine is spotless beyond compare....so the claim is mine Ade

I used to have a picture of my knees that I posted when this subject was raised but I can't find it so just imagine a pair of knees :thumb2:

 

[Guest]

Elaborate luxury dens here.
I feel decidedly inadequate!

 

[Tim Marlow]

Blimey Dave, you must be pushed for space if you think Simon’s knees constitute a luxury den LOL

 

[Guest]

I've never seen them, but am sure they're lovely

Mine is a knackered Ikea table that folds away.
Sometimes in the spare room, sometimes in the conservatory.
So much paint on it that it resembles a Monet masterpiece.

 

[Guest]

Here's mine. Not much to show but it might be interesting to see how it changes over the years.

Repurposed my old woodworking/router bench in the shed. Added a bit of old carpet, a cheap Ikea stool, a couple of lights and we're away.

Everything I need is always just out of reach but I have the intention of building a DIY extractor at the back of the desk, vented outside, which can have shelves above and drawers either side. Will see if I ever get around to that!

Short and sweet!!! My dining table is my work space so I set it up the way I wanted. It's just me at home and that's it...

The laptop is normally in the gap to the left next to the TET and not on my work space. Not in the photo is my big LED lamp or my paint booth made of card board boxes with exhaust fan.
