Re: Post Pics of Your Workbenches!
Just wondering Bill, do'y charge per hour or by the day, I've never seen such a tidy desk, please come round and do mine !
5 days ago my desk was tidy, well tidyish, when I finished my diorama, the following photo is how it normally ends up. While everything looks a right old pickle, I can generally find what I want ----------- some times --------

Maybe this is why I've gone from 1-72 down to 1-350 and now work mostly on 1-700.

Re: Post Pics of Your Workbenches!
I have an old steel case desk that I'm going to be putting in my basement! Then I can leave everything out, and not worry about someone moving anything, dog's tails, or having to put it all away for dinner. Oh Yea, did I say I have a 42 inch flat screen down the basement?
And she thinks I'm doing it for her 
God grant me the courage not to give up what I think is right even though I think it is hopeless.

Re: Post Pics of Your Workbenches!
From bedroom to office. From office to bedroom. And now, from bedroom to Model Room!
I bought new furniture for my business office and moved it elsewhere in the house. And I am now using the old office desk as my workbench. I've moved up from the basement to the spare bedroom.
I still haven't fully moved in or started work on my models, yet.

I agree Carl, that is a cool paint job in your man cave! I am surprised I have not seen anyone else do that, very original

Re: Post Pics of Your Workbenches!
I'm glad that you guys like the draft markings and paint job.
The room was initially my office and decorated with memorabilia from my Navy days. It then was transformed to a bedroom for my grandson and now is back to a nautical theme with my models and workbench.
Now, I'm back in action and getting comfortable with my new work space.......

Don't feel bad Matt, that was how I used to have to work. It was like that until about 8 months ago...
