Scott's new mancave

[adampolo13]

check myself before I rickity wreck myself with these attempts at humor.

hahahaha

 

[Junkie]

Some good ones in there. LOL - for real.

I really should have had that done long, long ago in a forced perspective galaxy far, far away.

Ouch, lawl. Good one though.

you'd think I was building two full kits in a cabin on a lake with minimal tools or something like that.

Right? Who actually does that?

 

[CTspeedshop]

That's one level bench Dude!!! ;D

 

[Junkie]

Pretty darn close.

Instead of dropping a leg I framed in some 1.5" stock and tied everything underneath the countertop. Strong enough. I only table dance in the kitchen so this should work.

Then a top shelf. This will hold lights (underneath) and kit stash on top. I am going to drop one chain anchored to the floor joist above just to be safe. ish.

 

[adampolo13]

Looking good Scott!!!!

 

[TRM]

Back to work....no breaks !!! Coming along great Scott!!! Keep pushing!!!

 

[panzerace007]

This is lookin pretty spiffy thus far....Cant wait to see it all polished and lit I'll prob take some inspiration for when I set up my own place up in Pennsylvania. Like the idea of a shelf above the bench with the lights.

 

[Dusky]

Lighting can make or break a workbench. I need to get a nice lamp for mine. My desk lamp just isn't enough.

Very nice, but you can't beat an old shed in the winter with no insulation : I wonder if any of my paints will freeze lol?

I've started to notice a difference between North America and Europe.

North American's have "Man Caves" while Europeans have "Man Sheds"

Or in my case, it's the CMD...Center for Masculine Development :-D

 

[Junkie]

CMD. Nice!

yeah, got the parts required for lights. gonna have 4, 4" fluorescent tubes under there.

 

[Ian]

That's a lot of light! Are you particular about the color temp at all? I'm using 3000k bulbs, and I found that I had to slightly angle my 2-bay flo fixture so that it wasn't directly in my eye line.

It's also set back towards the wall more and illuminates the shelves since having it right above me was far to aggressive and harsh.

 

[Junkie]

For me there can't be enough light.

I'm using daylight temp. All the same brand and temperature everywhere. Added the chain on the shelf, got the lights attached.

Just a temporary setup to check em out. Tomorrow I'll add conduit, a junction and a switch on the wall.

 

[Ian]

Daylight is so "blue" for me, I had to go warmer.

 

[adampolo13]

Scott, if it were me, I'd be calling that one done! Hahaha. t looks great by the way. Plenty of space for you as well as the kids which I'm sure will be both a blessing and a curse at times. Anyways, diggin the progress.

 

[Junkie]

Still lots to do. Tonight's project is complete but man, it kicked my butt.

 

[Ian]

Wiring is always a pain in the ass.

 

[hooterville75]

Looking good Scott, looking good my friend. ;D

 

[hooterville75]

Thats some legit, pretty realistic looking wallpaper Scott. One would have to think its real brick after looking closely.

 

[TRM]

One step closer!!!!

 

[Titou]

Good job scott

 

[JohnSimmons]

Looking ace, your making me jealous ;D

 

[adampolo13]

There's only one thing that would make that desk look better....

Some Styrene......

Looking great Scott.

 

[Junkie]

NO KIDDING!

Soon I hope.... sometime next week -

Sweetness!!!

Probably just in time for the Secret Santa build.

SCOTT ,

That's lookin' Great ! Almost there Dude !! That Brick is th Ticket, Brotha' !! Love it !


\m/

 

[rookie]

The brickwork does loook cool, will you be weathering it ?

 

[Jeep]

Scott,

might I suggest a surge strip being run from one of the wall outlets to the bench top edge or the leg/shelf. It is so much easier to reach under the dest to plug in the pyroguave or the dremel then crawling under the bench to do it.
