[Solander]

Nice setup solander! I'm sure your workbench will be covered in plastic in no time 

Thanks, Jdog. Right You are: haven't your reply been posted - it already has been 

somthing tells me you like sci-fi kits

Yeah, I'm starting to take notice that of myself lately to   

So that's where the sci Fi magic happens!

My household more often call that sci-fi hailstorm, thanking all the high forces it doesn't spread over this room))))

I don't really have a man cave, but I am working on it.  Here is the room that will soon become the man cave.  In the next three weeks, I am going to remodel this room into a man cave:

try again

watched teh vid this moring it was fine btw, and that room looks small is it 8x8? 10x10 my room is 10x10 and i have shag all room to store my stuff ;(.

Oh and Killer deal on teh furniture! ive been looking forward to you doing this for some time now

[Grendels]

The room is 10x11.   It is small.   And that is part of the challenge.   Where to I store all my stuff?   When I bought the house I was single, so I didn't buy a large house, I figured I didn't need one.   I think I bought the smallest house in the entire neighborhood.

lol ya small room, if you dont have a pc in there like me you should be fine then again you do have that house of a booth!.

and if ya bought the bigest ya prob would never have any time for anything only cleaning

[Grendels]

I will have a PC in there with a printer.  There is one in there now.  All that is visible is the monitor in the video.  The PC sits under the desk.

Love looking at these man caves. Awesome.

Here's my latest setup. I actually converted my old room into an office for my wife while she finishes up her PhD. Kind of a xmas present for her with new desk, cabinet, office chair.. the works.

All my kits fit under the table on the right.

Myke, your setup looks great.  I love that back light frame thing.  What is it exactly?  Just a frame?

[Myke]

It's a tool caddy type of frame that I built to get a little more organized. I can keep all my putties, clamps, brushes, sanding sticks, misc tools in the little shelves (angled upwards so nothing falls out), and then there are the little bays at the bottom that I added to keep other tools out of the way. I made the base a little thicker for stability and more storage room.
I'm going to add some arms to the light so I can slide it out and angle it as needed.

Here are some better photos

Myke, I like a lot the design / concept of "the frame", really... probably I´ll copy it & try to make an "indoor-airborne" (  ) version, just to move from one room to another (as I´m becoming a kind of modelling - pariah at home  )

... My only doubt / question is if the light produces to you some kind of uncomfortable dazzle ¿¿ ??
Cheers

Hey Jelly!

The light hasn't give him any problems since I elevated it. The fist version of this was a little lower and so the light was directly in my eyes. The 2nd (and final version) had a little more thought into it. I built it so that I could move it from desk to desk if needed much like what would suit your needs. I also made it so that I can build extra modules to quickly attach to the top, bottom, and sides. It could really be built out into anything from this point.

Glad you like it.

Oh and if you build one, don't forget to add back stops to the shelves so when you put your tools in it, they don't sit so deep that you have to reach in to get them. Mine are only a few inches deep so the tools stick out a little bit.

[Grendels]

That is nice, I was looking at something like this on a website, and well, why buy what you can build.   I need to finish up remodeling my office before I get to this.  But great idea and execution!
