My workbench

[Hammers]

I just figured out the basic difference between Teutonic Efficiency and The Proper Efficiency of an English Gentleman

Steve Dean:


The Professor:

[Westfalia Chris]

Oh my god! The latter must be "The Workbench to end all Workbenches!"

Now that sets a benchmark that will be hard to beat! ::

[Argonor]

Yup - been envious of the Prof.'s workplace ever since I saw the pics of it for the first time.

If I (and my family) ever get a house of our own, I'll try to copy that setup. Maybe then I can be just a little efficient, too...

[PeteMurray]

Teutonic Efficiency means not being able to conceive of the idea of a messy desk.

[ChukTuttle]

I find that it isn't mentally healthy to make such comparisons.  Otherwise, we would all play with pre-painted by the Prof.  Wait a minute!  That's not a bad idea!  I'll take 2 Pirate crews, a host of Gladiators, a 3500 point GW Goblin army, and the whole range of Superfigs.  And the free-shipping is much appreciated.  I'll have them by next Tuesday, then?  Great!

Oh my God! I fell of my chair reading this! I did not know self depreciation was in the French humor arsenal.  ::  ::  ::

Considering the meaning that word has gotten everywhere else, I'm suddenly very interested in seeing your workbench. Lot's of "Gentlemen's Collectibles" minis, then? :wink:  :love:

Seeing the Prof's workbench actually makes me feel a bit better about myself. Makes it overwhelmingly obvious that I'm nowhere near the same league, which takes some of the pressure off.

[fastolfrus]

Is it my imagination or is the British bench edged with beer-bottle tops ?

[ChukTuttle]

Maybe they were being used as replacement lids for the older Citadel paints in the picture?  Or remnants of experiments in flow improver?

[Neldoreth]

Those guys are both way to concerned about order for my tastes Honestly though, I am envious of the prof's workspace! I may have to trash my computers and rebuild my desk

Neldoreth - Now thats how a proper workbench should look. None of this Teutonic efficiency thing going on, lots of organised chaos instead ::

[artshiraz]

A question for the Prog:

Doesn't that lamp in the middle of the workdesk (the right one from those two illuminating), well doesn't that lamp disturb or bother you ??

I know it would highly irritate me, being right in the middle of the desk. I have two lamps being at the very edges of my desk (left and right) illuminating. Now if I would use a third lamp (and I am carefully thinking about that right now) I think I would fasten it  opposite from me so the shaft wouldn't impede my movements.
Or am I totally wrong here?

[Neldoreth]

Hey all...

After seeing pics of the Prof's workdesk and being inspired, I decided to rework my painting area...  I built some shelves for all my paints and took my old computers and recycled them. Now, my desk is almost done and is much more spiffy looking and tidy:



Yes, that is all the paint I have.... believe it or not So, until I get some more, the whole right side of the desk is dedicated to my WIP figs! And yeah, that is all of my WIP figs (but not my unpainted/unopened figs). I will post pics of the whole desk when it is together!

Me, I pushed my computer back, put down a piece of foamboard, and put everything else where it fit . Originally, I used my kitchen table, but I think that making my guests eat on the couch since the table was full of paints was a little improper, so I moved it all to my computer desk recently:



The paint and all my tools fit nicely into a drawer, too:



Note that I haven't really had time to get it messy yet. I'm working on it! It's totally makeshift, but in a small apartment it's nice to have a desk used for two things.
