Most of these were in the old "mancave" thread.
... Also, @John Brohm, I have a proof that your workshop is Photoshop'd. Your space is so clean that you can walk 2 inches without killing yourself. Therefore, your photo is fake.
I don't have a workshop either. I'm currently building 10 (soon to be 9, hopefully) low- and mid-power rockets on a card table less than 3 feet on a side! :y:I don't... really... have a... workshop. I sort of... bring stuff out... to the... dining... room... table. Okay, there you have it... I bring my rocket stuff to the dining room table to work.
I moved and got a new workshop.
This one is in the old green house.
Hot as hell in here, in mid summer (AKA now) I'll be in the shop for 3 minutes before i begin to sweat. I guess I'm just preparing my body for hellfire.
It's hard to mix large amounts of epoxy because it "kicks" really easily in here. I always have a cold cup of water handy.
Looks pretty though and once the sun goes down it actually drops below 90F!
I'm not going to mention the spiders though.

LOL!!! Such First World problems...
Yeah Gary, I think you rule. :y:
Tho oddmanrockets is doing alright for himself as well!
We moved into a new house a few months ago (on Nellis AFB to another on base house), but our old house had a wonderful workbench built it. The new one did not. Uh oh. I've never built anything substantial, certainly no furniture or anything resembling productive workworking. I have always wanted to learn more, but...a lot of you know how it goes. So, I went in search of a new workbench.
While there are certainly some nice offerings commercially, I kind of wanted to finally 'make' a workbench. Either through a link here or through some other searches, I found "2x4 Basics Workbench" on Amazon for $69 and ordered it. Of course, that necessitated the purchase of a 10" compound sliding mitre saw too ($79 on sale at Harbor Freight). The 'kit' arrived today and off to Lowes I went. With $91 of 2x4s, particleboard and MDF tops, I was ready to go.
Assembly actually went quick. Say an hour and a half? All it took was cutting the 2x4s to length with the new mitre saw and then screwing it all together. The instructions say each shelf can hold 1000 lbs, and while I am not eager to test this, this thing is as solid as a brick sh!thouse, if you know what I mean. I can sit on the top fully without any bowing or movement whatsoever. For those of you that may buy one of these as well, while pilot holes are not required, I went through a few phillips drill bits screwing in the 3" #10 screws. If I were to to it again (and I may), I'll drill pilot holes.
All in all, I am pleased as heck with my new workbench! Now onto the shelving, pegboard back, under shelf lighting and power outlets for the new bench!
