Let's see your Workbench

Do you also post to YouTube or something similar ?

Wonderful place… and well equipped. Congratulations. I guess you plan to create videos?

To answer - yes - I do plan to start a YouTube channel… However it will be challenging.
What you see in these pictures is HALF of the space - the other one is completely empty. And the space is not sound threatened. So I’d have to solve this problem first somehow…

Wow that’s heaps bigger than my whole apartment. Cheap sound-deadening could be achieved using heavy fabric/curtains hung from ceiling, slightly offset from walls, until you get something better.

Just got my second IKEA desk of the same kind. Decided that I’ll use the dark one for assembly and the light one for painting.


Wife is for scale…

HaHa! I thought you said “Wife is for sale…” Maybe to raise more money for your hobby! :rofl:

This is my winter workbench, as it gets a bit cold in the garage:



It also doubles as my virtual classroom (The laptop in the first photo).

And this is my summer workroom/airbrush/stash room which is a side room off my garage:

Everything is great, but I liked your library the most!
Although the deer skull in the garage is not bad either. Done? Killed?

Found in the green spaces around my property. I live in a development outside the city connected to rural land and deer are able to move through the green spaces they incorporated into the design. We aren’t allowed to shoot within the neighborhood obviously, but nature takes a few down during the winter and you occasionally find a skull.

Or you can just drive a couple miles to the highway and pick all you want off the side of the road.

80 square meters!?! That’s bigger than my whole house!

Do you live in a cabin in the woods?

We live in a 2 bedroom single wide mobile home. My wife and I share the smaller bedroom as our office/my modeling space.

I had a college gf who shared one of those with her sister. I get it now.

Our house is just over 74 square meters (~800 square feet), our office is 2,5m x 3m (~7.5 feet x 10 feet). It gets tight with my wife and I and 4 dogs. My model stash (about 35 kts) is on top of the dresser in our bedroom and my 3d printer (a large 400mm x 700mm delta fdm printer) is in the living room. Needless to say, my wife hates me storing things like that (but we won’t talk about her yarn and knitting or her diamond paintings or her scrapbooking hobbies…).

Well - it is a “multi-functional space” actually. I share it with a friend of mine, who happens to be the DM of our D&D group, so we use the space for our sessions as well, and also store all the D&D terrains, minis, other board games… You get the idea :wink:

My main workbench is about 800 km away right now, so for the past few years, I’ve been making do with this ‘backup’ setup. It’s small, but seeing kits stacked up and popping out from every corner, almost like storage wars series.., but actually gives me a strange sense of calm. There’s a cozy, productive chaos to it that I really enjoy.. :crossed_fingers:

You have a back up modelling space?!?! :smiling_face_with_sunglasses:

:slight_smile: I wish everyone had a secret back up modelling space like this! :innocent: but it just very very compact space (like storage) that keeps the hobby going!
