Do not use nail clippers on metal it will chip the blades and causes nasty gaps on them because they are not designed to be used on metal of any kind. I used small wire cutters bought from my local hardware store for cutting PE and metal wire. You should only use those type clippers for clipping parts from your sprues. I am speaking from experience, I have ruined a few pairs cutting metal with them.

This is my paint station, an old school desk, with my new top. i added a lid/cover and lined it with foam because in the summer it gets pretty hot in the shed.

While I'm here i might as well add my work station.

I work in my shed and it can get pretty hot in the summer, sometimes up to 45deg centigrade and in winter it can get pretty cold also so I'm not out there as much as I would like. I wish i had the room in the house. Oh well I guess the kids have to sleep somewhere LOL.

Link doesn't work for me.

OK, maybe I'm missing something...  the link took me to a web page for different PC games.

Just curious

Nicely done! I built a paint shelf similar to yours, but on a larger scale, mine has 7 steps and is 32" wide. It easily holds all my paints, sundry glues, thinners and putties. You've given me some ideas for my tools, though. If I can get through SWMBO's "honey-do" list, I'll see what I can whip up. This is an older pic of my paint shelf:

Ah.

I like my set up just fine and have no need for such an item. I'm glad you found something that works for you and I can see how it would allow you to be portable enough to move it from room to room. Hope it serves you well.

I can see how a much bigger version sitting in a permenant location would be kind of cool.

BTW, welcome to the boards.

ok.

Saw the "link".

Now what?
