Since I’m between builds right now (starting an FW190 A-9 tomorrow), i cleaned up my work area and took this pic. Next week it will be back to it’s usual state of disarray.
Cheers, Mark
Been picking away at things for 2018, but I got a bit distracted when I ran across this desk on craigslist. It was $50 INCLUDING the glass. I couldn’t pass it up. I don’t really have room for the desks I used to have. They were 60x34, or bigger. I knew this one was different as soon as I saw it. The leg tunnel looked more narrow. Sure enough it measures 54x32. Those dimensions may not seem like much, but it makes all the difference. I guess this was a “Jr” executive desk.
After some adjustment to the locking mechanism, some glue on two of the drawers, and reinstalling my lamp, I can now get back to work. Yea!!
The small shelf unit was found by my wife on a neighborhood email list. $15. It literally squeezed into the space it is in with maybe an eyelash to spare.
I think the whole area has been transformed and for sure better utilizes the cubic feet of floor space, as well as air space. I am super stoked. Back to work. No excuses.
Thanks for looking.
My little corner
Hello Murphy’s Law,
I love it. Nice and tidy. Really dig the puzzle. Did you make the frame yourself? If so, nice job. Love the machinist boxes too.
my little corner of paradise
Thanks, my dad made the frame and the shelf on the wall. I wish I had half the skill he did in woodworking.
I dig it steve5. I like how it wraps around. Has a “command center” vibe. [:)]
I was eyeing those shelves too. Nice work. [Y]
I love that desk, Mark! They don’t make office furniture like that anymore! People working in Cubetowns all around the world have no idea what they’re missing.
I like the two pull-out shelves, too. Kids, those things sometimes held a device called a “typewriter.” Those shelves will be really handy, in any case.
I totally agree with you. Something about the wood I guess…
Speaking of typewriters, I work with some twenty somethings and I was trying to describe the old IBM Selectric with the spinning ball. They were baffled. Their eyes glazed over when I mentioned the letter arms, ribbons, and the swing arm with the bell. It was amusing.
Kids…I got through college with a typewriter. In grad school, I had a “state of the art” Commodore 128 with a 9 pin dot matrix printer and fan paper. Took a half hour to print a 10 page paper, and I had to leave my apartment because the printer was so loud. [:D]
Love the desk! Not sure how you all stay organized. Even if I added space, I would just clutter it up with even more stuff.
cheers mmthrax
I’m actually surprised that there are any photos in this thread! [:P] [:D]
I know I posted my new workbench elswhere on this forum, but since "Installing " it , I had to make a few adjustment’s.
My previous workbench " The Trunk Of Death", has now become the spray booth.
I had to re-arange everything… just so I could have some shelf space.
( I’m about to fill this space … with a 1/72 scale sub. )
Awesome space good sir, looking forward to seeing what ya make on it. P. S. I did post a few new pix of the Hummel the other day no comment from LittleTimmy. I hope I have not inadvertantly made you mad… If so I apologize.
NOPE ! Your “Golden”, … it’s my computer that need’s to apologize !
Teky knowlegee … GGGRRRRRRR !!!
My space is currently evolving still.Took up the hobby last year and DIY’ED myself a small workspace with drywal in the garage.

Well, I’m in the middle of building a Tamiya 1/32nd A6M5c for the Japanese Group Build, and my workbench just got way too cluttered for me to work. Som I had to “declutter” it, and get some space back. Here is where I work on my models. The paint rack I built myself a few months ago, as I couldn’t find anything prebuilt or in kit form anywhere.

Here is the future location of my workbench
And now here is version # 3. I added a side bench. This allows more room for building and keeps to work area a lot less cluttered during a build.
