The Bench is back up!

Re: The Bench is down!

Thanks again, everybody! The shelves and cabinets are all in! The bad news is that I've been sick all week- been a rough one! I did manage to get a little done yesterday, but it's baby steps. I'm writing from work- I'll see if I can hack it for a day.

The new paint scheme is bolt-wide swaths of 5-color lozenge fabric! I wish! It's actually a pale. pale Air Superiority gray- so I stay off the radar. The 11-year-old ceiling tile that had been on my worktable is likely in the back of a garbage truck by now, Homasote has taken it's place. Everything's getting cleaned as it's put back, like the 120mm shell transport tube that's full of balsa model plans. The crude plywood stand I whacked together for my big toolbox finally has a coat of paint- we're going pro here!

More pics to come- what an adventure!
 
Re: The Bench is down!

Back in business! I've been repairing, cleaning, sorting and replacing. Some junk went out, and everything's spruced up and in place. The books are sorted largely by size- I'll have to get 'em more organized in the future. A few little bits still need to be sorted out, but I'm calling this project done.

The shelf replacing the windowsill was a nice surprise from my friend the contractor.

The beer light hung in my Dad's bar for years and years- here's to you, Pop!

The Golden Age wall, with a guest appearance by your slovenly host. Visible through the door is the computer desk I sit at as I I type these words, and where I create my girlie art.

At last a safe place to put the finished builds!

Eras of German aviation streak across the ceiling, and Jill St. John hands Sean Connery a martini in that Rutan Variviggen.

Now I can get back to the Me509- or should I repaint that nasty bum first? Oh, hell- the end!

What a fun looking workshop! You gotta fix that rear end though, can't get any mileage like that :popcorn
 
Thanks everybody- and cheers! One word of advice- never try to unstick a bottle of Vallejo by squeezing. It's not good science! :laugh:
