Let's See Those Toolboxes & Workbenches!
kahlid74:
The unfinished part of our basement became my defacto workshop. I built the first workbench and then realized quickly I ran out of room so I had to build a second. At 6'5" every workbench I've ever been at is uncomfortable so I made these at a height of 40" so they would be more comfortable for me working at.
Here's the first workbench. It's got my industrial touchscreen monitor in the wooden box for tunes in the workshop when I'm making magic. Got the swivel monitor too in case I need to do computer stuff. Table top is MDF with 4 coats of glossy wood stain giving it a plastic/rubber feel on the surface.
This is the second bench I built as I quickly ran out of space on the first. I wound up then building a drill recharger/holder hanging on a cleat system since my drills were scattered all over the workshop lol.
Here's when you walk into the workshop from the finished part of the basement. Miter saw is on a movable stand whose sides come up and hold steady for when cutting long pieces of lumber. Starting of Battletech pod in the background as well as prototype 42" rotatable Showcase cab stand.
And the obligatory server rack and networking equipment shot:

Nice work! :applaud:
It's really interesting to see what others are into besides the games.

Is that an original Game Boy I see standing there next to the wood glue? ;)

It's one of the many pieces of inspiration I have littered around my little shop. It helps to drive me by remembering where I've been.

Here are the only pics I could find. As usual, taking new pics would require a lot of cleaning. :)
Edit: I forgot to post a pic of the tools. This is a newer pic with the toolbox moved across from the workbench. Now just this back wall is for working, and the rest of the garage is arcade.
