Author Topic: Look at my Workstation! (Read 2593 times)

I get sick of those threads where gamers post pictures of their game rooms or vast workstations lined with paint racks and projects in various states on shelves.
So for the rest of us struggling with a corner of the dinning table here is my Workstation.

I bought a wooden pine box, hinged the lid, put a handle on it, stuck a cutting mat inside the lid and added a little draw unit.
It's about 30cm wide and 25cm high. Not doing much painting at the mo so it is currently full of 2mm sci-fi stuff and my current Cyberman project.

Anyone else reduced down to such a small hobby footprint?

That's a really nice solution. Well done.

Nice mobile solution! Still should post in the My Worksench section!

I didn't notice that thread

Oh well one of the mods can shift it over.

I have a lot of space in the shed, but as it is very cold, or alternately very hot, out there I have a portable tray from Warlord Games which represents my hobby space!

I love it. I always promise myself something like it, but I'm such a total magpie when it comes to tools, spares and oddments I end up thinking it would go rapidly from your idea to something like this:

Only £10,000, what a bargain......

If it was being sold to specifically to wargames/modelmakers, it would be twice that. At least!

I've got Snap-On tools that belonged to my old man, that he used for decades, and they're as good today as when they came off the lorry. Wish I could say the same about some of the stuff I've bought over the years

But there aren't any tools, that's just for a set of drawers on wheels!

Bit if you break anything Snap-On, they replace it, instantly and no questions. You get what you pay for!

I can't afford it for my garage.

Bless your little white cotton socks... Where do you keep your paints?

In a drawer

This is just the making/sculpting workstation

I found myself running out of room in my 'cave' and got a tool chest about half the size of that, one of the best things I ever did and it cost about 1/30th the price.

Now all I have to do is actually use the stuff stored in it more often ...

Cheers!

What a strange coincidence. I have exactly the same problem!

I said something, and then changed my mind. Disregard, as there is no delete button.
