Title: Workroom, fastbuild, pictures
Post by: slasherman on August 05, 2009, 06:21:30 pm
Warning  not for perfectionists...
So I need a work room for my future (first) projects. Bad picture quality and not serious attitude. My skills are a bit better than this but it's a working room and i want to finish fast...
Lets begin:

First I lay a new floor over some old smelling carpet

1, 2, 3 finish..

Done in 20 minutes..

Then I want a working bench for screwing, gluing, drawing and stuff like that....
Lets saw a little..

I screw it on the wall...

but it's not safe enough so I add some legs to it.....

I do this on both side of the room...

Did I say I have a wonderboy arcade?

It's working and it's wall mounted. You can change the game by changing the front, with joystick and all. It was like we did it here in Norway in the late 80's.

I need at least one ledge too...
Found some throw away material in my back yard ...

Lets saw, I'm using my piano chair and pc as a bench  ;D
(http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d54/slasherman1971/dask/9-3.png)

Lets use the drill a little bit..

That brick wall was harder to drill into than I expected  :banghead:

(http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d54/slasherman1971/dask/15-2.png)
Could have been prettier but.....

Lets wrap it up for today...easy to clean that new floor... :)

Ohhh did I tell you it also gonna be a guest room  :lol
(http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d54/slasherman1971/dask/17-3.png)

(http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d54/slasherman1971/dask/20-1.png)
I'm pleased...and my guest room also got the most noisy pc in the world

I didn't get that at first. Then I was all, OH. Hey, man, works. I don't know abut that guest room element, though. First thing is, where you gonna put your ---steaming pile of meadow muffin--- when you take down the top? Second, anything in there is open season for folks who don't understand you don't want ---steaming pile of meadow muffin--- being touched. Freakin civilians.

Yeah, that isn't quick - it's just lazy. It takes like 5 minutes to rip out carpet in a room like that.

Did that once and found out why it was smelly.

Don't you want to know why it is smelly?  Gotta solve that before putting down the flooring.

Actually it is better to let the old carpet stay, better stability when you lay the floor...and you cant smell  ;D anything.....

So did you put some sort of under-layment or vapor barrier?

Way of the Exploding Fist (C64 - not an arcade game!)

By the way, 5 is Jungle Hunt but for the Atari 5200 or something like that. Not the arcade version!

Right, who said it was only arcade games ? Think Jungle Hunt is Atari 2600 or maybe C64 that one too...
