The Ship Model Forum

Capt652 I remember my first work area was one table in our bedroom when I was first married and living in a house trailer...The cat nearly wrecked one of my first builds.. ..I made sure when I purchased this house that the basement would be split up into 4 sections...and one of them was gonna be mine all mine! cheers BC

despite occasional forays into the world of tidy workbenches...#

as here:

it ( I !!) ALWAYS seem to revert to type....

Hmnnnn

more self discipline needed!

Ah, the Baumann secret to success - letting entropy have its way so as to achieve a messy workbench!

Maybe he doesn't build them after all. They just naturally grow there.

Now that looks like my bench. So how come I can't crank out the models like he can?

Two words,

this website.

hallo all,

Here are some photo's of my working space I finished lately. I better say my fleet anchorage. BEWARE it is huge. My workbench isn't finished yet , I will post some photo's when finished.



looking to the back



looking to the front , behind the double door is my workbench



My flottentorpedoboot placed in the middle of it , the boat is 3 meters long.

regards,

Ludwig

That's your working space, Ludwig!?!?!?!? I wish I had 1/4 of that!!!!!!!

Ludwig sure is giving Kym a run for his money!

Ha!- I think my Business premises are no bigger than that--and we manufacture Boat covers and canopies!


in...-1:1 scale..!!!

.....with six ladies and six sewing machines...
and acres of fabric!

What a space--now... you just have to fill it with model boats!

Bravo!
JIM B

hallo Jim,

In this space used to work 20 seamstresses on their machines , also there were standing 4 embroidery machines.
This business closed last year and I was fortunate enough to make it mine. Actually it was my brother and I who runned this business.
The workbench on the other side of the double door measures 8 meters by 5 meters, an other room in front of the workbench , where I will make my library is 4 meters by 6.5 meters , plenty of space I dare say.

regards,

Ludwig

I'm stunned that is a workshop and a half . My workshop { posh shed] and library are quite separate,as I spend more time in the library these days than in the shed. What a fantastic place, I wish you well.

LOOK AT THE SIZE OF THAT!!!!!!!! :

That makes me a might envious.

You could install a test pond down one end ......... no on second thoughts
"a Lake" down one end and not miss the space.
A man after me own heart.
As for you Dave ................. less time on the books and more time on the tools.
Dr's orders.

Well I finally completed my move from Maine to San Diego. After a few weeks of getting settled in, I spent the last week or so, building benches, etc. and I am almost completly set up in the "new" shop.

I went from this ......



to this!!!!



Gone from 8' x 10' to 10' x 25'

This where my Workshop/Slipway will be built, it will be 20' x 20', undecided on foundation yet, would like a slab, but a raised floor would save on the pennies.





Here is the one we are just finishing off for my Father Inlaw, 24' x 24' with a lean too, i will not have the garage door as i would like to keep any dust down to a minimum.









I am so looking forward to this build, now where to put the Workbench

John

Very nice construction. I really like the appearance of wood structures.

Brother, you guys are mega-blessed to have such space available
to you! I can'tr wait to see the final results of your custom and
spacious workshops!
