Well Browns, when it comes to the NFL noone can say your a bandwagon jumper rooting for Cleveland LOL.

 

[letsgobrowns82]

Yeah, their not the easiest team to root for at times but I'm a fan win or lose.

Sweet space LGB62.

A bit of an update on my space. I had mentioned we were planning on moving etc.... But we backed out of that. The loft is completely 'bare' right now and I was debating installing a proper floor etc...

Well turns out we shuffled our kids rooms around this weekend and there is a vacant 13"x11" bedroom in the basement. I am 99% certain that this will become my new mancave. It's in the main house, easy to heat, has a floor already etc...

And with that said, we just might convert the loft into an apartment. Makes more sense IMO. I really don't need that much space. Honestly it's a bit too much...and my hoarding tendencies get totally out of control.

Stay tuned. Hopefully I'll be able to get back to a bench, make a few videos again, and build something!

Note: I just split the discussion about my new space. Look for it here in chit chat. Just don't wanna make this thread all about me.

It's interesting how quickly you recognize issues with a new work space, just after a couple kits builds.

With my original shelf setup I thought above the work table was better but soon realized that the bench got messy and I could barely reach my paints.



So I decided to do something about it.

I purchased 2x 10' lengths of pine 3/4 x 4" then cut them in half giving me four total.
They're held in place by 3" corner braces.



I then added 1/4 round molding as a stop buffer for the the various bottles, shooting them in with a brad nailer.



All shelves have the same depth so I can move items around as needed.



Now we're talking!

Holy cow that looks nice. And clean... Are you sure you build models?

 

[Ian]

Almost ready to build my first! Just kidding, though I am only on my third since restarting this hobby.

I kinda got obsessed with the workspace… and the tools… and the paints… and the weathering supplies...

 

[Dusky]

In a way I've been trying to get back into the hobby for the past couple of years and have hardly anything to show for it. I just have an art desk and plastic sliding shelves to store stuff in, but once I take something out to use, I rarely put it away afterwards.

 

[Ian]

Right. I was lucky that I had the spare unfinished room that I could transform into the studio area you see. It also helps to have good power tools and building knowledge!

Having worked on building my own house over the last few years, you start to collect that kind of stuff.

 

[Junkie]

Sweeeeeet shelving. Now that's something I need to build!

 

[Dusky]

I'm either stuck in my bedroom or in a dorm room, but I really need to start bringing only what I need. Here is a rough picture of my set-up.

 

[Ravhin]

That's an awesome workspace Ian. I'm envious.

 

[Ian]

Sweeeeeet shelving. Now that's something I need to build!

And it was so simple too.

 

[Junkie]

I know right. Gonna build something like that in my new space.

One thing I'm still undecided....do I screw into stud...therefore butchering my walls....or try and build a free standing structure.


I'm leaning towards butcher...it's easier and down the road I can repair the drywall pretty easily. Would be stronger too.

 

[Ian]

Use the studs. You can always fill, sand and paint if you need to later.

 

[Junkie]

I kinda got obsessed with the workspace… and the tools… and the paints… and the weathering supplies...

Same here. I love working on the cave.

 

[Junkie]

Yeah, studs make sense. Gonna start tomorrow. My lovely wife got me a new cordless drill, so I can screw all day tomorrow. Lol.
