LyleW Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 Ok, I am a dunce. How does one put the images at the bottom of the post. I tried placing the cursor where I wanted and then clicking on Image and it kept pasting it at the top...) good news after you look at my grandbabies, you can see the room and skip the rest, I suppose. My grandchildren made me this. There is one more that we will go and pick up from China this fall. She is a cutie, too. After the modular piece was moved and setup. As it appeared at the indoor flea market. $100 for all of it. What it replaced. Just wasn't working. Nice bench though. room after drywalling. you can never have too many outlets. Sixteen plugs available. Bones are up. You can clearly see why I'm not a carpenter. The drywall guy later said, it was "a bit rough...". 120 sheets of drywall in the basement. You see, once we decided to put the hobby room in the basement, Well, we need to finish it off. Started with this. My room is actually 180 degrees from this pic. What we started with. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators JeroenPeters Posted April 9, 2014 Administrators Share Posted April 9, 2014 Wow! Thats' a serious workshop... If there's one thing I've learned it's the bigger my desk, the more mess! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LyleW Posted April 9, 2014 Author Share Posted April 9, 2014 I'll have to take a picture tonight. full of empty shipping boxes, B-52s and all manner of crap. Even with that space, I find myself working in about 2 square feet...what is that in that funny stuff? .8 square meters? I thought I'd have all the room I'd ever need. Wrong. It is about all I could squeeze out of the basement though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Mikester Posted April 9, 2014 Members Share Posted April 9, 2014 Nice setup, Lyle! I'm hoping when I retire I can get a custom workshop built detached from the house with integrated display cases and the works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LyleW Posted April 10, 2014 Author Share Posted April 10, 2014 That will be nice. I know the wife appreciates having this out of the great room on a card table. With all of this, I did not account for display space, duh. I guess I'll figure something out as I finish (if I finish) things. thanks all for your kind words. Lyle.

LyleW Posted April 10, 2014 Author Share Posted April 10, 2014 Cees, I am in Kentucky, about 20 miles or so southeast of Louisville, Ky. I am down under the bench a lot looking for things I've dropped, though. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
