Good hobby desk?

I did a "built in" bench, back in 03...although, I didn't "move in" until 09, after a 3 year hiatus.

My main work surface is a piece of 1/4" (24" x 14") glass...HIGHLY recommended!

Paint booth is on the other side of the basement, (vented outside).

Having been at this bench, since Jan of 09...I'm still happy with it!

I have used an old corner computer table from Office Depot for many many years now and it works great for me.  Bonus is I keep a monitor where i can plug in my laptop for reference photo's or especially enlarging the Eduard instruction sheets.

There are lots of nooks and places for all of my supplies and what doesn't fit into the desk or supplies I don't use often, go into the plastic rollaway drawer set that has two small drawers on top, the other two are full width.  Plus I always keep the model box open on top of the drawers, with unused sprues there.

I use a number of things I ordered from MicroMark : the 2 round organizers on the right and the two brown paint brush organizers.  Helps a lot.  On the left is the vented paint booth (also MicroMark but about 10 years old at this point) that can quickly be taken down and put away.  Works so well that even lacquers can be safely painted.

I've added one of those little Sterlite/Rubbermaid/etc shelf units, too.  I put all my paints in it.  They used to be spread out between space on top of my bench and some old cookie tins.  Now,  I have all of the jars of Tamiya, Model Master, Polly-S, etc, in similar size jars, in the top drawer, with labels on the lids with the brand and color marked, all of the acrylic eye-dropper bottles and craft store paints in the middle, and tools like my punch and die sets, a box with my Dremel bits in it, my drill bits, and various sculpting putties, in the bottom drawer.  And I can pick up the shelf unit and take it along to a friend's house when we get together for a build day.

Hello Matt - Mine cost about a $110.00 for the workbench and paint shelves. It took me about 2 hours to put together. I'm sure by now you have built or selected a workbench.
