bbowser Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 I've got an old TV repairman's tool box made from wood, top clamshells out with trays/compartments for tools, glues, etc. I'll see if I can get a pic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ffreak Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 What ??? We're supposed to store them ???? And all this time I was leaving mine on the dining table, my desk, the coffee table, the sink and wherever I laid them down !!! Arrrggghhh,!!!! Seriously though, I have a craftsman box just like above and some plastic drawers on a roll around, and then those plastic shoeboxes all over the place full of paints and supplies. Then the hand tools I use the most in one plastic box I carry around to wherever i'm building at the time . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nitrozilla Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 Lemme see. I paid a total of $8.00 for my "wall unit". The Yoda and Han Solo cups were gifts. I couldn't begin to figure the cost of all of my supplies and stuff though. To me, they're priceless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mercman Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 Here are some pics of my shop. Paint storage. Diorama area for assembly. Main workbench. I use this for plastic, metal and other goodies. Also lots of plastic shoe boxes. Also lots of pegboard for hanging items on. More pics here. http://s8.photobucket.com/albums/a2/mercman51/Bench/#!cpZZ1QQtppZZ24 Not shown are my drill press, scroll and table saw, and belt sander.

W-409 Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 I have tool box where are my all equipment. I'd like to have them on my modeling table, but it's not possible, since my table is in front of the window. But maybe I need to make it better some day. At least some inportant tools would be great to have always on bench, not in tool box. I have so many paints, though, that they wont fit anywhere else than in tool box. Otherwise I'm happy about my bench. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

57peppershaker Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 WOW looks like you guys have a lot more space in the US than we do in the UK ! My spray cans are in a cupboard in my garage, most of my tools / jar paints ect are in a craft box thats in the house until my wife finds it ! I do have worktops, seat, radio, beer fridge ect in the garage but its too cold up there this time of year, so builds are done on the dining room table (hence slow build rate) My spare parts were kept in 3 plastic storage boxes but they are £15 - 20 each. Just picked up some plastic business card boxes & a larger crate to keep them in, for a lot cheaper. I can now find everything ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Hall Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 A couple of big plastic toolboxes. When I have a dedicated hobby room (my hobby room shares space w/ my home office in my current house) I plan to do something more elaborate..

Dr. Cranky Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 Wow, I really love all these pics. I put my stuff all over the place, mostly in those plastic drawer thingies you can pick up at the big outlet stores. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JunkPile Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 Looking at pictures of workbenches\areas is just about as much fun as looking at looking at the builds here. Anything goes, whatever works the best for you. Sometimes the benches are more fun! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
