Looks like there is someone or something trying to come out of the TV.....reminds me of a scary movie.

My "work area"....
I build alot of rock crawlers, so the tubing bender, drill press, 3 sheetmetal brakes, plasma cutter, welders, shrinkers, etc. for build ing hotrods come in handy for R/C fabrication....

Nice bunch o' tools Josh! And a great looking work area. I especially like the flames on the back wall.

Here is my work area, I modified an old IKEA desk. Its nothing Fancy, but it enables me to do what I need. I also have a fabbed a shelf for the chassis I own.

Thanks Gary......yeah, the flames were the 1st thing I did when I moved in....now mostly covered with car parts....

Well I am redoing my hobbyroom and made some progress, I am looseing 1/2 my hobbyroom to my wifes scrapbooking but thats not all bad. I got the green light to redo the whole room. I almost finished my bench today I will be adding another shelf on top, and some kind of wallboard on the back wall and lights under the cabnets plus a powerstrip. much nicer than the mess I had before.

you made me feel better about losing about 20% of my hobby room to my wife its bee nearly a month and she hasn't set foot in the place since i move my sh*t and built her desk and storage and shelves and outlets and and and and anyway she puts up with me spending 10hrs aday in mine so it all good so now my part starts from her material rack

yea I dont expect mine to do much in their either, but I dont care I am getting the room redone the way I have always wanted it out of the deal. so its all good.

My wife's hobby room is 1/2 of our bedroom, quilting stuff and sewing machines everywhere. Mine is in the basement, 2 floors down. We each have a laptop at our workstations and sometimes chat via facebook while working on our stuff together in different rooms

that funny, my wife calls her daugher on the phone like that to get her to come upstairs

figured i would post an update on my shop. i just bought and installed the final 3 units today. this is how you stay organized. now i just have to finish labeling everything. and yes i have a few drawers that still need filling but we all know that wont take very long.

i also changed the lighting out. i had a standard single bulb fixture in there. it did not give out enough light. now i have added 2 four foot duel florescent tube fixtures on one side of the room. i will add 2 more on the other side of the room later. i will have no trouble seeing what i am doing in there now.

My basement workshop. Not pictured is another table and chairs, couch, stereo, and 32" TV. I spend a lot of hours down there, mostly just chillin out when I should be building.

smoke nice hobby room and i wonder how many people chill when they say there building im starting to redo mine today its 20' X14' and i cant move so time to remodle more shelves
