Damn!!! All I have is a tool box and my desk. Not even worth posting pictures...

It doesn't matter how small or lg. your space is...the point was to show your area where you work your magic!

The only thing missing is a 50" plasma!:mdr:

The Plasma.. LOL, the 12" laptop screen works great.... hahaha... Actually, I'm trying to find myself a mill for cheap... been searching for the last year... someone will get desperate soon..

Nice neat drawer! Looks a lot like my drawer in my welding bay at work.

I wish I had a Garage like most of you lucky guys :-(
I was renting a nice house and had all the room I could ever ask for. Earlier this year my fathers Alzheimers and has gotten to a point where he can no longer take care of himself and I moved in and take care of him.
His house is paid for, but small. So I have to cram all my RC stuff into my bedroom. My compressor,drill press ETC are out in the shed, I have to go outside to do any dremeling so I don't make a mess inside. Bummer.

bored? watch some tv

I decided to upgrade my workspace. I had turned half my closet into a workspace but that was really small and didn't work well. I still wound up using my kitchen table or setting up my pit table in the living room of my tiny apt. I decided I didn't need a kitchen table anymore, I haven't sat at it to eat in at least two years. A couple weeks ago I drew up an isometric plan so I would have something to go off and could figure out how much would I needed. Currently I'm laid off so I had some extra time and I woke up early friday to go get some lumber. 9 - 2x4s and one sheet of plywood. I slurged on the plywood and got 5/8" with one side sanded, I had them cut it at the store since all I have is a cordless circular saw. Total investment was about $75 and 3 hours.

Ben remodeling the house and finish my bedroom/hobbyroom last week. I was able to gain a lot more work space by stashing all my parts in the new TV stand/tool box I modded. Anyway here;

I forgot about this thread! Here are a few pics of what my better half calls my "man-cave":

My workbench. I reorganize it at least once a week, but it always seems to get like this within minutes... Currently on the experimentor's board is a NiMH battery charger I'm prototyping.

http://scriptasylum.com/forumpics/mancave_1.jpg


Parts and materials area. Resistors, hardware, wire, metals, wood, etc.

http://scriptasylum.com/forumpics/mancave_2.jpg


Some tools, electronic components, and unfinished projects.

http://scriptasylum.com/forumpics/mancave_3.jpg


My R/C rack. Missing is the XT8, which was on my bench stool (which was an abrupt reminder when I blindly tried to sit down).

http://scriptasylum.com/forumpics/mancave_4.jpg

Made myself a new workbench today.

Remodeled the kitchen at the new house and ended up with 13ft of blue laminate countertop. Ugly in the kitchen , but it looks good as a workbench.

I plan to put a shelf on the wall above the bench and put 2 4ft twin tube lights under that shelf. I will take a few more pics of the rest of the hobby room as soon as I get the 2 other benches out of the way.


And in my quest to be more "green*" everything down to the screws for this project was previously used. This is recycling done right.

http://i206.photobucket.com/albums/b...123_161627.jpg

* green equals cheap.

That's the way to go! Never toss an old countertop.

Yep, great work surface that is easy to clean and quite resilient to abuse.

I still have a 12 ft section that had the sink in it. I have an area next to my hobby room that will be a kitchenette and bathroom someday. Save me walking down the stairs everytime I need to take a leak.

And yes, my kitchen at the new house had 25 linear feet of countertop. Now it has pretty quartz, and I made a breakfast bar with a 12 foot long top. And extended the area below it and added a base cabinet with a microwave drawer(power open and close, extra gangster.) So now I have 42 linear feet of counter. And it does seem a bit excessive, but looks cool.

Looks good james.
 

Looks good James. Nice to see that you are using more than your painting skills these days. Make sure you keep a pice of scrap wood on the bench for drilling and working on so you don't tear up the laminent countertop. Get yourself a piece of lenoleum or rubber to work on and it will stay looking good for a long time. I cannot believe that you didn't go over to Lowes or Home Depot and pick up some cheap cabinets on sale instead of using 4"X4" posts. You have a lot of room there to set yourself up some nice shop like work space using upper & lower cabinets.

I will take a pic of the rest of the room, I have tons of storage, shelves, cabinets, etc. It is about 600sq feet. And I was doing all of this with used, free material. I do not like spending money on stuff that will just get used and abused, especially when I do not have to.

I have quite a few big totes that will be placed under on side of the bench, and the various tall power tools I have will go under the other side when I am not using them. Drill presses, bandsaw, shop vac, etc.

Should have it cleaned up and photo ready in a few days.

Not to hate on the posts, but if you need more legroom you could swap those posts out for some angled supports. My dad made these for the workbench in the garage and the one in the hobby room. They're rock solid and they rarely get in the way.

http://i345.photobucket.com/albums/p...h_IMG_0473.jpg

I had planned to do that ML, but decided on the 4x4 legs for 2 reasons.

1. they were free, and I have alot more 4x4 material that is over 2ft long than 2x4.

2. I want to be able to put the large plastic totes under this bench, and they can fit nicely between the legs and the wall. If I had a diagonal brace where I have the legs I would only be able to get 2 totes under there, with alot of room on each end, but not enough to fit another. And if I had used diagonal braces like you pictured I would have had to had 4 of them to fit the totes well between them. Also I wanted a center leg as that is where the 2 pieces of counter connect. And I wanted the bench vise in the middle, and I wanted a leg tieing that directly down to the floor for stability.

Only took me about 4 hrs to build, and this included going thru material, de-nailing, and making about 50 trips up and down the stairs. Plus i did it all by myself, so I had to clamp and rig alot of times to get stuff level and plumb.

I am happy with the result, and the front of the legs are about 5 inches back from the front of the counter so they are not in the way.

Will get some shelf material (have the shelf brackets but do not have the board) when I am picking up casing for the kitchem project. I also need 1 more light stip and bulbs, and some wire to get it powered. Will be nice to have a 12ft shelf just above the bench.

And just to note, I can jump on my workbench, I would not try that with the angle supports that are only bolted to the wall. I am not a small guy, by any means, and everything I build to work with has to be able to carry my own weight times 2. I have stood on many a bench to weld something weird clamped in a vise, or bend something long.

Counter top looks really nice, wish my bench at home was that big. Never have enough counter space.

Did you have a accident in your pants while working, I see the poopy looking rag on the floor ?? :whistle:
Maybe it's oil :neutral:

Yeah its oil. Managed to knock over some used oil I had parts soaking in, crap I say!!!

Great idea with the counter top... I just got moved from the garage down to under the deck..

Not as fancy as some as yours. But here is part of mine.

Snell,
Whats that in pic #2 on the right, Looks like a multi-iron solder station ??

Maybe not as fancy but def some cool stuff.

Fancy
 

WOW that is one fancy soldering station you have there. What in the hell is that thing? You must be one of those career electronics geeks who can repair just about any circuit board issue. Nice little space though. We are about to move out of our casstle here in Korea. I will miss our R/C shop, but we have a two car garage there, and half of it will be our new R/C shop. Right now it is completely empty and needs some cabinetry and a good work top to get things moving. I will post up once we settle in. It will be a cheap setup since it is only a temporary home for us. We will be there for two maybe three years if we are lucky. Thats just the life in the US Foreign Service.

I will have to take a better pic once I clean up the garage and do a panoramic pic of my stuff. Actually there is a third soldering station. The big black Metcal sitting on top of the orange colored torque controlled screw driver. Recently the top MTB soldering/desoldering station went kaput. Dunno why, but I'll open it up and check it out. No I'm not a soldering geek. I just like to go overboard when I solder the occasional cap to my ESC............:wink:

Looks good Romano. I am currently adding lighting and a shelf to my "mess"...

I have to get it close to done, a guy bought a revo from me yesterday and it is still in 3 boxes... Deadlines!

That's one Kick-@ss soldering station...

here's mine from the last semi-cleanup effort. :yes:
