'08SEAL Posted December 31, 2011 Posted December 31, 2011 I got this for Christmas. I put my tools, sandpaper, spare decals, glue, etc. in it. What do you put yours in?
Haubenschild Posted December 31, 2011 Posted December 31, 2011 a shoe box , or out on my modeling table
SuperStockAndy Posted December 31, 2011 Posted December 31, 2011 I use my desk with all the tools scattered out in some random order No, I only use a little bit of my desk for that I have one of those plastic drawer containers.
Jon Cole Posted December 31, 2011 Posted December 31, 2011 I try to store most stuff in a plastic tool box, flanked by letter trays.
bbowser Posted December 31, 2011 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.
ffreak Posted January 1, 2012 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 .

Nitrozilla Posted January 1, 2012 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.
Nick Notarangelo Posted January 1, 2012 Posted January 1, 2012 heres my mess http://i346.photobucket.com/albums/p407/riknight/new%20hobbyroom/PICT0011-1-1.jpg
Mercman Posted January 1, 2012 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 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.

58 Impala Posted January 1, 2012 Posted January 1, 2012 (edited) I use a large Plano tacklebox that I bought at Walmart. It has alot of drawers and compartments and it's mobile.I can take to shows(emergency repairs)as well as club meetings. Edited January 1, 2012 by 58 Impala
heatride Posted January 1, 2012 Posted January 1, 2012 Here is my setup. Gives a ideal of how I store and arrange my stuff. The rest , like flexshaft , dremel , model kits are in the jewelry shop.
Mercman Posted January 1, 2012 Posted January 1, 2012 Junior, doesn't it drive you crazy with it being so clean? I guarantee you it don't look like this now.
Keef Posted January 1, 2012 Posted January 1, 2012 i store all of my equipment like this: and all my kits both started and unstarted are stored here:
Danny Lectro Posted January 2, 2012 Posted January 2, 2012 I have 3 of these under my bench, and I think I may get 1 or 2 more. http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/40107872/#/40107872
57peppershaker Posted January 11, 2012 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 !
Rob Hall Posted January 11, 2012 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 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.
JunkPile Posted January 12, 2012 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!
moparmagiclives Posted January 12, 2012 Posted January 12, 2012 Did I see a glass of milk with ice in it ???
scalenut Posted January 12, 2012 Posted January 12, 2012 lol , I saw that too , the wife buys the milk that is like water already , I couldn't fathom putting ice in it
