What does your hobby room look like?

I posted something similar before (6 years or so before) but htought it might be fun again. Something to get some attention.

Mine is a wreck right now. Not that is is every nice and clean, but things are totally out of order and strewn about. I have been trying to get a 4th ( i know, really why 4) RC10T3 running, i just grabbed a GT from E-bay and thanks to you guys im tying to get my 2.5+ MRS4's back up and running.

For anything noisy or messy I have a workbench in the laundry room. Never really knew how good a work bench an old solid-fill fire door could be. And the door knob hole, makes a perfect place to drape power cords so you can butt the door right up againsta a wall or, for me a corner. 2 cheapo plastic Home Depot saw horses and an old door ( i still dont know where it came from) and thats a work bench to me.

please post some pics, show me that im not the only sicko

Thanks

Grass

I have never really gotten around to taking photos of my actual r/c work areas, but I do have two desks in two different rooms in the basement that I work with.

The one desk is just a normal "student desk" and I do all my normal wrenching and bench testing, charging and reading there.

In the back by the furnance room I do all my building, soldering, charging, dremelling, cursing and swearing and what not...

It is just a simple home made wooden shelf "desk" that was there from previous owners.

I should get around to snapping a photo of them tho ...

Unfortunately, I no longer have a hobby room or work area. We renovated the basement and my hobby corner was eliminated. All my hobby things are now stored in Rubbermaid bins.

After some remodelling, I've been banished to a Rubbermaid box, and the dining room table...But here's what it used to look like:

Man that looks all staged. Too clean, too pretty, just too nice. lol

great lookin spot. Lots of space, looks private, great. I've got the spare bedroom. Not too bad.

where is that? Looks like an attic? That would be sweet!

LOL...I have a bit of OCD when it comes to my cars.

It's sort of a finished attic...a Cape Cod style house. It's actually a spare bedroom now... All that dark wood has been sealed and painted, since then.

man Im envious, I want an attic, just for my hobby room. I used to have a basement, man that was sweet. I had airsoft and paintball guns/markers hanging on pegs like a gun shop, RC stuff everywhere, the computer was in one corner with Star Wars Galaxies running all the freaking time, and the big ol projector shot a huge rough image of movies up on teh nice flat enamel painted wall for me. It was great. Why did I ever move from Washington? lol
