Oh, and fine choice of computer Sir.. The same as mine - Is she an Intel or G5?

Oh yeah, it will stay that way for a long while. I like knowing where everything is. ;)

It's a 17" G5. Been working well for me for the last 3 years.

necro'ing this post lol..

although this is more of my "outdoor" work area, this is my new workspace at the moment. 75% of my parts and stuff are in storage... i chose 3 bins for tires, new parts, and used parts in ziploc bags. along with welding equipment, tools and other machines and such.. didnt get everything like my chopsaw/bandsaw/scroll saw/table saw.... which ive used alot lately for metalwork..

i still have all my "track stuff" packed up.. like chargers, batteries, motors, soldering stuff, pit bags etc.. but this is my build station at the moment

I got an upgrade in workspace when we moved a few months ago. My "half" of the new basement is larger than the entire basement in the old house. I just put in a utility sink with a basin pump so I could clean/soak parts somewhere other than the kitchen sink. My next project will be to build a big workbench with some pegboard along the wall where my table now sits. I don't like the tables as I prefer to stand at a taller workbench. My only problem is figuring out how to attach the pegboard to the concrete walls.

try using thoes blue masonary screws. just drill a hole in the block or the mortar joints with a masonary bit and run them in.

Perhaps mount a wooden frame to the concrete wall using masonary bolts....then mount the pegboard on to the wooden frame. This will give u the necessary gap u need to properly mount hooks and stuff on to the pegboard.

My workspace looks much like aconsola's, only mine has had a tornado, cyclone, earthquake, and a tsunami blow through simultaneously. Either that or Tadracket stopped by to borrow something, it's hard to tell the difference. :mrgreen:

Build a wooden frame to support and space the pegboard, but 'hang' the frame from the floor joists above.

HOLY CRAP, Now thats organized!

My workspace consists of one of these.... Image For now.

(mother-in-law was going to be getting a divorce and my Fiance has most of her stuff in our garage until they can find a different place. Once done, I'll make a nice workspace in the garage. Some of these spaces are inspirational!

Some really nice hobby rooms guys, my problem would be that if I had a work space big enough to fit a 1:1 car in I'd fit a 1:1 car in :lol:
