Bondo Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 Looks good! I desperately need to do the same but I know that as soon as I do,I won't be able to find anything.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTalmage Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 I swept the debris off of mine from doing a little scratchbuilding and sanding... but it will need a good cleaning soon. May I ask why your storage drawers are labeled by color? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Van Posted February 11, 2016 Author Share Posted February 11, 2016 Color is random......I just like the contrast of a day-glo color and black Sharpie. I have a touch of color blindness so sharp contrast is a good thing!!! Thx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThxI meant what does the color mean written on the tag? but after I wrote that I got real close to the screen and realized it was your paint LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramfins59 Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 I just did pretty much the same thing down in my basement model area Dave. Swept the floors, dusted off the workbench, swiffered away all the cobwebs and reorganized all my paints and tools. Now I have to knuckle down and get building again. Between the holidays, family visits, gift wrapping, the football playoffs and Super Bowl, I haven't been working on anything for months.

cobraman Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 I always heard that a clean desk ( workbench ) is a sign of a sick mind. : ) Looks very good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foxer Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 WoW! I had to look just to see what it looks like .. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Metallic Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 I've gotten in the habit of cleaning my bench every time I complete a project. During a project it's mass chaos because as I'm looking for parts for one thing I'll get distracted by something else, so I feel the need to reset after a build Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vintagercr Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 I redid my workroom and now I'm ready to build again. Yours looks good! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustanotherKiwi Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 For the first time I now have a model specific space, I am very much liking the layout, those plastic drawers are awesome, I use them for Bicycle parts(another hobby).I hope to organise my desk a bit more with shelves etc when money allows.

louie Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 Dave, that is an absolute perfect building area. Everything looks to be in arms reach and the lighting looks good too. Mine isn't to bad, definitely not perfect. I need to improve on it some more and I am loving those drawers of yours. Also, you have some really nice car's in the case on your bench. Thanks Dave for sharing this with us ,really cool subject. Jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
