Looks like a nice space though - you could always lay down a 2nd hand rug from the op shop to protect the carpet.Quote:

Yeah the brick work would help. Humidity is a killer everywhere.Quote:

Have to say, really happy everyone is throwing up pics, its been a great insight. Keep them coming.
A few years back I lined and carpeted a single brick storeroom to use as my office.These days its just a man cave. :D There is 2 inches of wool insulation behind the walls plus air con so I can go pretty loud before the neighbours complain . Excuse the mess.
You can guess which guitars are getting played the most, the rest are in a pile of cases.

It's a great setup Dedman.
You probably just need mirror on the ceiling to complement the pimp purple. :P
EDIT: As the owner of many sharp objects I'm sure you appreciate the friendly nature of my jest.
:D :D :cool: Toowoomba isn't a long drive......................... btw, all those draws house my knife collection :eek:
It's actually more burgundy without the flash but yes, I was going for the gentlemans club / bordello look :D

As for the building - it's either on the back lawn or the carport
Things really get messy towards the end of a build...

I've got a whole double garage but I pretty much stick to the one wall with my bench.

Since I last posted in this thread the car that used to live in the garage has gone so, I "remodelled"
Gotta love the form ply bench. Don't know where I'd be without mine. I just wish I had room for a couple more.
Ditto. Next year, new locality and new purpose built shed.
That is an awesome PRS style kit you have on the bench FrankenWashie! Is that a kit or scratch build??

Looks amazing! Love the dual wood combo.pitty it’s not a kit that people could buy ;-)
Cheers mate, it’d be a hell of a pricey kit! There’s four different wood species used, Rock maple, Wenge and Eurobeech in the body and neck and Ebony in the fretboard.Quote:

Added some under bench storage today for necks and bodies in progress. Just need to grab some more shelf pins from work on Monday

That's not a bad idea!
A little extra depth would have been nice for necks but I'm just happy to not have them all piled up in Random spotsQuote:

Uummm Andy, are those EMPTY kit boxes stacked up on that rack?
Only three are empty as they are current builds....... you are just as bad FW!:eek:
It’s a fair cop guv! Guilty as charged.
Not a whole lot of building at the moment, mostly just watching poly dry, so I decided it was time to reorganise the workshop. Not 100% done, the desk on the left is in to be restored and will be leaving early next year when my eldest moves out. Still need to sort out the draws under the main bench and a few other things (Better lights, better roof insulation etc etc), but after 2 days of purging and re jigging its now a usable space again. Also picked up a smallish band saw and a new bench grinder to replace my old faithful which finally burnt out - I've had it since uni.. so nearly 25 years and it was a second hand cash convertors job when I got it...
Hopefully this will all help The Deluxester Prototype 2 build happen a bit faster than the current one.

If it stays that tidy it means you have a way of locking your family out of it.Quote:

This re-sort I finally put away the last of my mechanics stuff as I’m just not interested in fooling with cars anymore. It’s freed up a lot more room for guitar stuff :)
The addition of a bandsaw has seen my family too scared to enter the lab.
