Hi,

 

I'm getting back into ship modelling after an enforced break.  One of my first projects before I get too serious is to build a workshop.  Just waiting for a renovation to finish, then will show off the new shed.

 

Until then I'm confined to the dining table, and whilst I'm just starting a 1/350 Titanic, a wooden ship won't be far behind.  Anyway, I did manage to fit my main hand tools into a box that was used for 2 bottles of wine (one of those presentation boxes they sometimes come in).  So, a few small 'drawers' later, here's what I ended up with.  Add a cutting mat and I'm set to build...(see attached pics).

 

Whilst it proves you don't need a full workshop to do this, I certainly won't complain when I have one again  :D

Regards,
Darren

Excellent 'workshop', Darren.  Did you show us this on the old forum?  I seem to remember something like this then and thinking it was a good idea.

Hi,

 

Thanks Jim.  Good to be back.  I may have posted this on the old forum as I put it together when the workshop was supposed to be pulled down so I could keep building.  But I stopped anyway. :(   So now this will let me start building again until I get properly set up.

Regards,
Darren

I LIKE it! We have a cat that has a compulsion to grab anything off of shelves and bench tops that it can reach, and I've had to go through a number of protective measures to keep tools and parts from its prying paws and teeth. A kit like yours would be handy.
