Now that Iv tidied up my messy workshop I thought Id post some pics of it up

Iv got all the modelling essentials and because my dads a plumber I have access to a load of expensive and really usefull tools.


from a different angle


Im trying to keep my area nice and tidy which is ironic because Im keeping my workshop tidier than my bedroom    




Iv gotten the essential literiture, glues and oils for model making  




and a TV plus DVD player combination is very usefull when your holding 2 parts together for 10 minutes while the glue drys


and a white/black boards is very usefull for writing little bits of info down which your likley to forget


ans I sometimes make models as well as watching TV in here  


thats mine lets see yours.....

Looks a nice and orderly workshop.
I've got a few projects/restos on the go at the mo', but with my being shed in a shambolic state, its a job to get on with them.

I occasionally set about tidying up, moving stuff about, clearing a spot and then piling up stuff on that clean spot and so it goes on. Its tough being a hoarder!
After an hour or so of merely moving stuff about, I normally take a break and fire up an engine, which kills off any more tidying  
Far too ashamed to post pictures up in its current state

That's far too tidy. You've obviously got too much time on your hands. Get back to work

I have a shed though it's full of food as our kitchen is fairly small.

Seems rather confined for a workshop.
Have you ever set fire to the curtains/duvet when steaming one up?
