LAMO notice the 3.5 on the white keyboard. It must be a decade since you cleared that space!

Always a fun conversation on work areas. I absolutely hate clutter so every tool, screw, washer, etc gets put back right after handling. Makes for a clean work area but very inefficient while doing a build. I don't know how many times I may dive into a parts/hardware tote in a wrenching session. Complete waste of time.

The opposite end of that is my brother. He's always losing tools that he used 2 minutes prior on the same project. I try to keep a middle ground lol.

When I was just a boy, the first time I took a magic marker to a T shirt to make a jersey to play hockey in the street in front of the house, the front had a circle B and the number on the back was No. 4.

Chase, your brother sounds a lot like me. He ain't got a ponytail, does he?

I've always enjoyed seeing where guys create the magic, but there was no way I was gonna show mine in the state it was in. Total pigsty. I took off a few hours early yesterday and then it started to rain so I used the time wisely.

Nice workspace! I wish I had as many paints! My shop is dirty as can be but maybe I will do a quick vid.

With ya on that Gary. Always cool for people to let us in their work areas. Great tool to see idea's on storage, layouts, and the occasional "what the frack is that in the background?"

Here is my little station in the spare room. I have to put all the tools and small stuff away every time because of my 3 year old boy. I dont have much but I get by and add what I need as I go.

Now this is the kind of stuff I really like to see. That's a very nice little space you have there. That looks like one heck of a nice vise. That must come in very handy. And let me guess - your name's Matt?

I also think Jon and Richie are pretty cool, but Richie shouldn't have let Heather get away.

What are the tracks on the bench for?

Lmao! That box is over 20 years old. It was originally for my RC cars and trucks when I was a kid. Its perfect to keep the modelling tools and some small parts in for now. The calender is wifies...lol Yes , the machinist vise. Very handy tool. And the tracks are the old metal Leo A4 tracks.

Your space is killer. I watched your vid last night. I airbrush also but thats out in the garage.
