Administrators James H Posted June 9, 2015 Administrators Posted June 9, 2015 (edited) Guys & gals, Thanks for your input on what I perhaps needed to get to create my ideal workroom. The time has come to catalogue this being created. Here are a couple of photos of the room as it stands, and here is what is needed to be done: Carpet up, plywood down and hardwearing dark wood effect vinyl glued down DONE Curtain rail/curtains down and slatted blind fitted DONE 750mm kitchen worktop installed in 'L' plan, as benching Bench sockets installed HobbyZone modular units installed PC installed under benches, and monitor mounted on wall (perhaps) Wall-mounted paint rack for Gunze/Tamiya paints Studio downlighter light-shade and LED lamp Shelving for some nice 1:6 Star Wars figures from Sideshow Collectibles. This is only a small room, but will provide plenty of bench room, and drawer units will fit underneath too, storing aftermarket stuff and partial projects. Photo tent and extractor will go on window side benching. This is the majority of stash, but will be stored in attic, so need for it in my workshop. More photos as work is completed!!

Dave J Posted June 9, 2015 Posted June 9, 2015 Maybe upgrade you PC Motioner to a small LED TV that you can plug the PC into... Then you can watch TV/Movies at the same time! 1
Administrators Fran Posted June 9, 2015 Administrators Posted June 9, 2015 Great stash! It will be a great workbench!
rkranias Posted June 10, 2015 Posted June 10, 2015 Progress Jim! Plan looks sound. Nice stash BTW. We will be sharing same joys and angst as I am starting to rebuild my bench.
Colin Forbes Posted June 10, 2015 Posted June 10, 2015 Love the idea of having some display shelving. I can`t wait to see it finished soon...
Administrators JeroenPeters Posted June 10, 2015 Administrators Posted June 10, 2015 Only a little work to make it look OK. 1
Administrators James H Posted June 10, 2015 Author Administrators Posted June 10, 2015 Nice big box of modular stuff: And this is the vinyl flooring I'm using. Easy to find dropped parts This will be bonded to a ply base as the floor board edges aren't great. Work on this will be complete tomorrow, then it's on with the benching. 5
One-Oh-Four Posted June 10, 2015 Posted June 10, 2015 Nice plans! Small stash... Good idea to use the dark vinyl! Funny that you do your measurements in meters.... Thought that that still was a Continental thing. In some UK programs they still speak of how much "stone" they weigh.... Good luck with the job at hand!
JonathanReed Posted June 11, 2015 Posted June 11, 2015 I need to do this quickly as my carpet ate 4 of my PE handles Looks great!
Jamme Posted June 12, 2015 Posted June 12, 2015 You are not only good in modeling,! Nice job. Cheers, Jamme
efrick Posted June 12, 2015 Posted June 12, 2015 Nice job on the floors! The Carpet Monster is banished! He exists you know. I've seen him. 4
Verbeek Posted June 12, 2015 Posted June 12, 2015 .............................. The Carpet Monster is banished! .......................... . Keep on dreaming 1
JonathanReed Posted June 13, 2015 Posted June 13, 2015 Glad it was Paul that brought that up! LOL I wasnt going to say it!
Administrators James H Posted June 13, 2015 Author Administrators Posted June 13, 2015 Check my first post.....the curtains are going
Administrators James H Posted June 30, 2015 Author Administrators Posted June 30, 2015 Benches will be fitted tomorrow. Sorry for real crap light on this one, but the walls are now painted in almond white, and an industrial-looking metal venetian blind is fitted. The old room is now history... 3
Wingco57 Posted July 1, 2015 Posted July 1, 2015 If your laminate has grooves than the groovemonster is out to get your parts. Speaking from experience. Cees 1
Administrators James H Posted July 1, 2015 Author Administrators Posted July 1, 2015 No laminate here Cees. The floor is vinyl 1
