Show us your workbench/workspace/workshop

My workbench.

Here is mine.  still getting it set up.  For modeling, painting and art making, and general purpose.  Closet is full of canvases, paintings, and kits.

OK here is my workbench Area.....Cheers mark

Jibber - Did you ever consider just running the duct through the wall to the outside next to the spray booth like a dryer duct?  It's an easy job and easy to redo if necessary.  The shorter the duct, the less the back pressure on the fan.

Some Awesome work areas! I love the lighting in a few of them! Just bought my wife an "ottlight" Craft/sewing light, and with a coupon, it was pretty cheap! Very bright. Here is mine, a disaster as usual... Second pic is my homemade Paint both with lighting and ventilation.... I originally built it for model CARS, but to get an idea of the size, the wing on the floor of the booth is for a 1:48 PBY Catalina.... Its pretty large. Still not plumbed out the window yet :(  Thanks!!!  Rudy

As a teenager I was spoiled, my parents had a work bench built for me under the basement stairs when they had some other work done on the house. Unfortunately I have no photos of that.

For several years after I started building again as an adult, I just used a board that could sit in my lap, go on a folding TV table or on any available table / counter top as available. Tools and paint lived in a larger tool box.

I still use the board I used as a cutting board.

All, my humble work space.  Not as neat and tidy as I might like, but it gets the job done.

Spray booth.  I got lucky on this one.

 Sorry about the focus, but you get the idea.

I looked all over for a topic like this and couldn't find a thing,...

So I started another one ,.... why don't we forget that new one and continue this one

Yes it has a mini fridge Left of bench.

jibber's got a sink!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Please don't tell us you have a mini frig AND a toilet too!

Damn, now I want a sink.

You have a sweet setup jibber.

Bish thanks, there wasn't a whole lot of thought put into the room, it just sort of took on a life of its own over the years.

I would dream of a model space like that. Nice set up Terry.

John, Jelliott thanks, for years i've tried to figure out whats best and i'm still undecided. I know its necessary but I just don't want to throw a lot of money at it. I've looked at the carbon filter systems and that feels like a good way to go. We're lucky enough to have a large basement but that also means this room, even though its on an outer wall is a long way from venting through a window.

One thing I really like about my workspace is that almost everything is within arms length and I have tons of lights. Its so much easier when you're working and need something, that you can just reach over and grab it without having to get up and look around. That seems like a lot of wasted time.

Wonderful workshop.  I'm honestly jealous.  As far a as paint booth goes, you have 2 options.  One you could run a long duct to the outside, that just means a bigger and more powerful fan to push the air out.  Another option is to get a fan pulling through an activated carbon filter or the like and allow it to vent into the basement but with purified air.  Either way would work and of course have different costs and benefits.  I personally use the activated carbon filter, but I got lucky and found an old chemical hood from a lab as a self contained unit and it cost next to nothing.  Good luck developing you paint area and awesome shop.

Nice workspace there Terry!  I'd love to have that much room to work in, and to have a sink in the work area would be great!  Thanks for sharing!

I'd like to show my workspace thats a separate room in our basement. I'm very lucky to be "allowed" a big  area like this and to the other side of the room is a lot of storage and shelf space for kits and materials. I really need to find a better setup for my painting but my problem is that i'm so far from any outside access for ventilation. Right now I prime in the garage and the rest is done here on the bench. My room has been a work in progress but i'm really happy with how it's setup right now.

I recently updated my workbench and hidy-hole layout:

Here's mine. I made the table with plywood and carriage bolts. It's pretty sturdy, to accommodate my spray booth which is pretty heavy.

Added a paint area to my workbench this week.  No more dirty/hot/cold garage!

Been experimenting with lots of interesting new products after watching the Genessis Models videos.

Waynek, I thought I had a nice setup,you got  me beat all to hell. I've got to get organazied. Anybody know the movie reference

Great to see another SW Lego fan lurking here Hogfanfs!!

I have quite a few SW Lego kits - mostly unbuilt, including the large versions of the AT-AT, Snowspeeder, Y-Fighter and, my favourite, the 3' Star Destroyer (10030).

You're right about them being pricey.  I bought them all over 10 years ago now, but one day i'll build them.

 

Haha! I've been found out!

Yes, Chris, we really like our SW Legos, and, yes, I wanted to get the #10030 Star Destroyer, but couldn't justify with my wife on the price! The Ultimate collection has the new X-Wing that I would like to get my hands on. Hope to see some of your finished collection some day!

After the car wreck I couldn't walk out to the garage so I commandeered the kitchen table.  >:)  I still have yet to move back but will most likely be pushed back this summer.  I'll try to get a pic of the garage area soon.

this its my recently updated workbench, it took me a month to make all the paint racks and electrical wiring, sorry for the poor quality of the pics

@Les.61 - that's a nice decent set up you have.

I like how much natural light you've got coming in there.  That's the one issue i have with my set up - there is only desk lamps and whilst i have several a point blank range, i would still prefer more light.

Thanks for the info!  I'll check Wal-mart tonight.  Taking the kids after I get off work to go get the LEGO movie!  I'm sure they won't mind running down the toy aisle to look at the LEGOs! 

LOL!  OOP= pricey!

Here are the pic I promised. I believe the Tie Fighter is still a current Lego Item. The Star Destroyer is OOP.

Beans, that is a very cool and nicely organized area/workspace, dude.

Wayne, now that's one h*lluva mancave, brother. Wow!!

Hogfanfs, now that's so neat I have an urge to run down and start cleaning up my mess. Hat's off to you, very cool.

Les, that is a very nice and super-organized workspace. You've made excellent use of the room you have. And.....

.....IMHO, regarding stash size, size doesn't matter. (that's what I keep telling myself, anyway)

Had to update photos, sorry.
