What does your workshop/area look like, post pictures/videos. Because inquiring minds want to know! I live in an RV, my shop consist of a storage bay and a picnic table, plus whatever I can sneak inside without the wife running me and my 'junk' back out!

Good to know I'm not alone  in that situation :-)

My workbench, complete with a cold Miller High Life. Of course, there are shelving units to the left and right of the bench that aren't in the pic. Most of the cigar boxes and some of the guitar parts are stored there.

That's too neat to be a work area! I like the idea of a cold one make a handy accessory.

I'm coming to your shop, I'll bring a few MGD's. ;)

Love the little "Tweed" amp hanging on the wall. The Stewmac part holder(shaped like a Tele) are cool. Some where I saw one of the larger ones that somebody made into a 3 string guitar. May have been here on CBN, can't remember. I wanted to get a couple to build some of my own but they stopped carrying them.

Good eye! I looked at the pic a couple of times and never saw the Tele and the amp, I had passed off as a heater of some sort. What can I say?

Right now,  Hell.

I'm a lucky guy, plenty of space to make a mess!

Hi Ben plenty of good light too and dust extraction. Mess? Mine gets messy too until the jobs done. I try to go though once a week putting things back where they belong. Nice workshop.

Taff

I do not have a workshop, everything I have built in the last 3 years has been made on a small folding bench and a side table which holds all the parts and my cup of wine. all my tools are in a neat stack in a corner of a storage garage.

  • Words like "clean" and "neat" aren't allowed when describing work areas! It gives the other half ammo against the "neat and clean" challenged! LOL. I'm pretty much in the same boat as you, I live in an RV park and my work area is a bedside hospital table and a picnic table for my clamp on vice. The toolboxes are stacked (notice no mention of neat)in a corner of a small storage area.

clean is not an option as I am quite exposed to the elements and my neatness is reserved for storage only, my work area is entirely covered in dirt and stones, there is no neatness there, I have lost many a 1mm machine head screw beneath my feet.

Mine looks like Pic's.,I used to use the kitchen table.,but there was alot of sawdust and I never put anything away.,.,I have moved on.,.,now everything is built either on top of the clothes dryer., or in my lap, cross legged on the floor.,,.I tried building in bed, but the tools are painful to sleep on.,.,
