Dr. Cranky Posted October 9, 2011 Posted October 9, 2011 Wow, these are some great workbenches. Nice and clean!
Darin Bastedo Posted October 9, 2011 Posted October 9, 2011 Here are some shots of mine... the drawers underneath store all my airbrush paint, and the pegboard accomidates a lot of supplies and detail parts. Across the room is where I take photos, wash up, and have more storage for books and other misc stuff... In the back is where I do research on the web, any computer work, and post on the boards. I often will do some of my sanding or tedious work here.
kenb Posted October 9, 2011 Posted October 9, 2011 I got tired of working off the top of an old steel desk. Spent under a hundred bucks on material, and this is what I have now I'm pleased with it. I have everything at my fingertips. Ken

Darin Bastedo Posted October 10, 2011 Posted October 10, 2011 how many people have thier workspaces in the garage? how do you keep the temperatures stable in those spaces? I have heat in my garage for the winter, and where I am in the mountains it is very mild in the summer. I open the windows and screen door and it gives me a nice cross breeze all the time.The hottest I've recorded in my garage is 75 degrees.
dabelltoller Posted October 15, 2011 Author Posted October 15, 2011 wow some great stuff ill have to photo mine since i started this post. but one thing i noticed, is all paints are stored in the lid up postion i keep mine in a little tool box on there side, is that ok ? or should paint always be in the upright postion ?
seeker589 Posted October 16, 2011 Posted October 16, 2011 Wow, these are some great workbenches. Nice and clean! I agree. But isn't a clean workbench the sign of a sick mind?
Dr. Cranky Posted October 16, 2011 Posted October 16, 2011 Love this thread, and all the wonderful bench pictures . . . truly inspiring.
southpier Posted October 16, 2011 Posted October 16, 2011 GeeBee, i'm sorry, but we can no longer be friends!
Dr. Cranky Posted October 16, 2011 Posted October 16, 2011 Great, sharp and clear picture. Excellent.
HotRodaSaurus Posted October 16, 2011 Posted October 16, 2011 (edited) Had to post my bench, yes its a mess but thats how I have always worked and it works for me. I'm just a messy person. Lots of half done projects of all kinds using similar tools etc. John Edited October 16, 2011 by HotRodaSaurus
GeeBee Posted October 17, 2011 Posted October 17, 2011 GeeBee, i'm sorry, but we can no longer be friends! Why ?? What did I do ?? here's some photo's taken today, a little bit cluttered than it used to be ...
