My work space & my bed

Oooh...love the tape bar. Same feeling when I see a real bar.
I could never get my tools organised the way you've done Laurie.

I think I nearly dribbled down my chin when I saw that stash of paints..

Well Carl I got together the Vallejo set. Then found I liked Tamiya. :rolling:

Although for certain things such as hand brushing they get a bit of a look in Vallejo. Makes me feel much better after spending all that lolly..

Tape bar dead easy Richard.

B & Q have the bits you can see under the tape cassette. Where you have a copper heating pipe coming out of the wall or floor a cap is stocked by B & Q to place over the pipe. You need a long screw to go through the lot into the shelf.

You do need the Tamiya Tape cassettes. Loaded so that the stick side is away from the little perforated cutters on the cassette.

I was trying to work out what those little cones were - radiator pipe covers - genius.

I am very jealous of that set up, very jealous indeed. And you get to do it on the lovely Island of Jersey too.

Out of interest you're not looking to adopt are you? If so I'm available. The thought of inheriting that set up.......oh and a flat on Jersey....:smiling2:

Adopt. Only if you have lots of dosh Richard

The set up. Well I spent 50 year in architecture so have that mind set fitting things in.
However it is all simple stuff. Work top is a B& Q worktop with legs from Amazon.
Shelves & brackets B & Q. Lights cheap on Amazon.

All the boxes Amzon or W H Smith. There is no fanciful stuff even the little pull out slides are just Conti Board with B & Q drawer runners.

Greatest is the time. But I started just with a work top & shelf. Just kept adding.

Jersey. Reported recently that Jersey the most expensive place to live in the world. Do not believe it. Amazon remove VAT to Jersey :hungry:

I think I'm fine where I am Laurie...it's Andrew who wants to be adopted but I don't mind the inheritance.:tears-of-joy:

Ta on the tape dispensing bar tip...a bit confusing since I don't come from these parts but lucky Andy's comments made it clearer. I wonder if Aircon vent tubes have the same caps.

I think I can adapt and overlap consecutive sized washers to replace the cap.

You can get large washers with small holes

Laurie, our hardware stores here are quite general so getting specifics can be challenging as they will sell you what they have with the usual " no problem lar this one can one..." and with a tooth pick between his teeth.

Othere way around here Richard. Just as bizzare. :hungry:

Order something from Amazon. Anything minor arrives next day in a huge cardboard box. Yesterday. Big box. Iteme inside in big doubl strngth plastic bag. Item, small lobster claw cramps minute in another plastic bad. Claws in another transparent plasto resealable bag. Is this good for the world.

Why not look at plastic jar or bottle lids? Drill a hole through the middle and away you go - can remember from years ago rows of jam jars in garages with the lids screwed to the bottom of shelves to hold nuts an bolts..

Great idea Gerry. Just to make sure the lids are no more than 2" across. Just measured & that is the max.

Agree with my friend from the colonies

Hi Laurie......I would hate for JR (453) to see this as he would finally realize there is absolutely no hope of him ever getting into the "Tidy Bench Club"......The competition is waaaaaay too fierce!! Best organized hobby space on the planet Sir! :thumb2: Rick H.

Seeing this from Laurie I have defiantly no hope of ever gaining membership to the Tidy Bench Club. Having applied countless times and been refused I feel the time has come to abandon all hope.:cold-sweat:
