Workbenches and/or Work Areas

[Deleted]

Figured Id start a thread about Workbenches and Work Areas, the place where we all do our little hobby. Feel free to post yours I start off with my spot in the basement

[BUCKY]

That's a good looking workbench, dude! I like the abundance of lighting you have there. I'll post a pic of my bench at a later time....as soon as I dig it out from under the clutter!!!!

Nice bench my new friend.  I don't have a clean bench as I'm in the middle of some builds! Here is my bench and my hobby area I call the Eagles Nest as it's upstairs.

The book cases on the left are full of all my model reference books, woodworking and architecture books and historical novels I love.

[BUCKY]

Yeah, Ben, they don't make those lights like they used too! Thirty years is about all you'll get outa one, these days! LOL

Joe, the Eagle's Nest is looking prime, dude! Tell me, tho....the little short door to the left....is that where yer posting minions hide?

[Deleted]

Love the Eagles next. I dubbed mine the Dungeon since its below ground lol

[JCON]

That's awesome Ben!!! Bucky that little door leads to attic storage down the whole side of the house!!! Seasonal stiff gets stored in there, the minions are outside in the woodshop buddy!!!

Those are two great looking work spaces!

Two years ago, I gave my hobby room - a 12' x 10' spare bedroom - a complete makeover to add overhead cabinets for storage and three industrial style workbenches. (I haven't given the room a formal name)

How about heaven on earth? That cave is absolutely awesome

[RLFoster]

Thanks, Wes!

Very nice room Robert!!! I've got new workbenches planned for mine instead of the fold up table and white cabinet, just haven't had time to build them... cutting out the one job should gain me some time after my bathroom remodel coming up soon...

[JED]

I would love a place like that,even with my son living out and daughter now having her US Visa agreed another too will be spare and I just know that none will be given to me 😢😢😢

[JCON]

Maybe if you ask her really nice with flowers for a corner of a room so you can spare her the mess in the dining room... 😂

[BUCKY]

Robert, that's a great looking build area! Maybe have a name with a reference to the "Emerald Coast"?
Jed, put on a "sad Puppy dog" face, and maybe you'll get a corner to work in. I've tried that, before!

Bucky and Joe, if I was to get any kind of offer I'm sure I would have to sell my bike and while I can still pedal that ain't happening unless I'm ordered to by my Doc!!!!

Here's some pics of my old bench and the new area...

First the old one in the basement..



Now the new bench upstairs..

[JCON]

Great space Cliff!!!

[BUCKY]

I agree with Joe, and I don't see a carpet monster, either!!

[RLFoster]

Cliff, I remember the old, downstairs bench and really liked it as a nice, quiet hiding place. The new bench is excellent too, but it's not quite the same, is it?

[cliffj (R.I.P.)]

Bucky - there's a rug under my feet at the bench but NO carpet monster .

Robert - yes the basement was a nice hidey-hole but dut for most of the year it was cool and kind of damp so it wasn't doing my health much good. Plus the fact with my arthritis the steps were getting rough to go up and down.

[JCON]

I prefer my upper room to being in a cold dark space!!! I think that was an excellent move Cliff!!!
