Actually, Kik, I don't drink !

I got those pints as freebies when I worked at a comedy club several years back and they come in handy for all sortsa stuff; mostly as brush holders...

Someday, like maybe July, I'll be able to post some pics. Just moved into a 4 bedroom house on base, didn't even get all the mover's boxes out before I was packing my seabag for sunny Afghanistan. So all my models, built and unbuilt, along with my supplies are still sitting in the "office." I need to find a workbench/table to match the one my wife has for her scrapbooking and then I'll have all the room I need to loes myself in a pile of plastic!

Good point Music.
But I hate clutter, bit of a pet hate really.

The guys at work are always on at me for how tidy my work area is, and hate me cause I'm the supervisor, therefore I make them clean their bays as wellWink [;)]

Gotta love the powerSmile [:)]

Seriously though, the bench I'm designing atm will be around 7 feet long, with a special area for the ab and compressor+tank, then areas for everything else, glue, brushes, oils, etc.

Kind of like the Taj Mahal of model benches.
And thanks to work, I'm even working on having a motorised paint rack installed into it.

Make it once, and make it well.

Clutter is a state of mind ... what some people call clutter I call "Everything Within Arm's Reach". Besides, when you have more room that's just more room for clutter. My workbench is "U" shaped (there's a pic up above somewhere) and stretched out would probably be about 40 feet long. I think I have an area about 4' long that isn't covered with junk. More room, more clutter; more clutter, more fun!

Before I moved to Arizona, I had a piece of plywood placed on a couple of large plastic flower pots; this plywood was a combination coffee table/dining table/typewriter table. When I wanted to model, I would simply throw an old soil amendment advertising poster face down on it and call it a "workbench." It worked OK but for a long time, my modeling tools were kept in a chest of drawers several feet away to keep the tools away from the cat. (Ultimately, I found a decent tackle box so I could actually store the tools on my workbench without worrying about the cat getting into them.)

When I moved, the guy who was my roommate gave me a three-level piece of furniture that made a great storage cabinet. I simply bolted my old plywood to this furniture and moved the tools into a different chest of drawers, then turned the chest of drawers so that they're right within reach. Now I've got a good amount of storage space but I still need to do some fine-tuning, especially now that my spares box is getting too full. Maybe I'll have to bring the fishing tackle box back out of storage.

Here are some pics of my work area. I have installed some heaters recently so it is now an all year workshop.







At the other side of the shed I have a TV, PC, Music centre and the essential mini-fridge. It is a home from home and very peaceful.

I don't think it's an obsession ... I think it's, well, it's, well, ... OK, maybe it is an obsession. It's just not right for someone to have enough talent to build that from scratch and me to be stuck with 10 thumbs!

Take a look at the scratchbuilt LAV-25 on the cover of the May FSM (as well as the accompanying article about it). It's either inspirational, humbling, or just makes me feel completely inadequate. In fact, I think it does all three.
