Shameful and Gratuitous Workbench Photos
Several folks have already shared with this forum some photos of their workbenches and rocket collections. What I'd like to do is start a thread on our workbenches, not just for photos, but on how we arrange them, keep them accessible, how often we bulldoze the piles...
I don't have a permanent workbench with shelves or sliding drawers to work from. I keep several folding tables for multiple projects. One is a six-foot conference table with an interior door laying on top. This door becomes a very substantial building sub-surface. I have a layer of pressed-paper (backing) board about 1/2" thick glued to one side as the actual building surface, into which I can stick "T" pins for holding strips of balsa. I'm also into RC aircraft, so the door is just the right size for constructing a full-length fuselage on, or a wing panel. In the attached photos, I have an eight-foot folding table for setting these rockets on (not really the intended use, just the default use until I can get some racks built). And, no, I really don't have an accurate count of how many rockets are sitting here. This room pulls double duty as my computer room / office / design studio...

When my wife and I rebuilt the downstairs I told her I wanted two things, one was to divide the game room so I could make a den/office and the other was to turn the bedroom down here into a hobby room. It took a lot of work, but I finally have my dream room.
PS - belive it or not there are a lot more rockets in other rooms of the house.

Those can't be workbenches, I can see the surface. Where is the big pile of rubble??
It would probably take me a week to get my workbench half as clean. |

Notice you don't see a whole lot of the floor in those pics?

Well, not all of 'em... Some are just in their underware! I plan to get a bunch more into their underware very soon... Craig... |

Man, that's one nice work area. Clean, neat, everything in its proper place... You're one sick puppy, there, you know that? Now I gotta go back and clean up my workbench again just to keep up with you. And yes, I'd believe you about having more in other rooms. Ditto, here... Craig |

Hehe, which is why I'm not posting pics. I can't even get to my workbench anymore due to all the "collectibles" stacked up here in the basement. Needless to say my wife is not happy.

I thought I'd share a few shots of my shop. It measures about 20' x 8', and has a built-in bench across the one end. The peg board is mandatory in my case, because if I can't see the tool, there's a good chance I'll just buy another one!
The other end of the shop has a small desk that I do a lot of the finishing work on. I've mounted a number of cabinets, shelves and storage drawers at each end of the room to keep the small parts organized and near the work centers. I have a celing fan that I use to vent fumes (mainly solvent-based adhesives, and the airplane dope used to finish fins); all my painting is done in the garage because I find it just generates too much dust. A couple of Christmases ago, my family bought me a small TV and DVD player, which I've mounted over the work bench. This lets me play some old SciFi movies or LDRS videos while I'm filling seams. Not allowed to have a fridge - wife's afraid I'll never surface! John
