No one dares enter my work area lest they set off an avalanche.

JR16 - too big, too neat and not nearly enough clutter. It appears you will have no problem finding stuff. That is no way to build a plane. You MUST start with a mess and keep it that way at all times.

What Bruce and Ken said!!

Always rememeber that a clean work space is the sign of a sick mind!!

Never be anal.

The quality of the finished product is directly proportional to the mess in your work space.

Want more sick proverbs? We got lots of them.

I was gonna boast about how nice it is to have a garage with a full length workbench i built and pegboard to hang most of my tools from (in addition to a 6' tall roll away box), but i can see that is pointless after seeing the absurdity that Kaos1964 has to work with!!

Yeah, troposcuba, I have to agree with ya, however, I believe that it is all a fantasy. Notice that there are no completed planes haning around, against the wall, hanging from the ceiling, broken parts in trash cans, none of that. I think it's actually a prop for Home Depot or Lowes or something..

Yes, ManLand it truly a sight to behold. I was lucky enough to spend some time there earlier this year. I didn't want to leave!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

But Mike, you definitely do need to do something about the encrouchment into ManLand from GirlWorld. If left unchecked it will continue to spread and eventually take over ManLand!!!!! [X(]

A video of my work room would look very similar to a hand grenade going off about 10 minutes before taking the video. That would allow the smoke to settle and probably would imporve what it looks like now.

No manland here. I live in a townhouse with no garage so I have to make due with my spare bedroom. Good thing I'm single!!! ha..

My boss once said a cluttered desk shows a cluttered mind. My answer: what does your empty desk show?

Not so much ManLand as a GuyCave. Nice big 350# 4' x 8' heavy table (oak with asphault/linoleum top) and side shop for metal work. Not shown are two tables I use for charging space and storage for the mostly flyable models.

Not bad for a Yankee basement. Dig that deep around here and you get water though. Always felt cheated that I didn't get a basement with my house, like half is missing. No usable attic space either. Just a little bit of storage space and utilities. Had a full basement in Detroit at parents home there and that was nice.
