A seldom seen view of my basement workbench.
Lots of room for a lot more projects. 
Unlike mine; no, there will be no picture.
Spot on the radio:
“I saw something in my child’s room this week that I never expected to see. It was a total shock. Not MY kid. I saw… the floor.”
Yea, I went on a expedition a few weekends ago and found a workbench under a pile of clutter. Must be the season.
Too clean and organized…you can’t be doing much modelling…
Padre,
Clean and organized is the way to go, much easier on the eyes and the mind.
A clean desk is the sign that no work is happening.
Sacrilege! Burn his workbench at the stake!
You left the lights on.
Jerry,
All teasing aside, very nice work area!
Did you construct the counter base with the drawers?
Any tips you have for those considering their own work spaces?
I built mine with a stainless top using damaged kitchen drawer assemblies bought cheaply from Home Depot. I made sure the foot well spaces were wide enough to fit future chairs.
Thanks for your inspiration!

Thanks guys, it’s usually not possible to see the top of the bench. My wife is shocked! The drawer units were ordered from Target, children’s dressers.
I added some wood on top to raise them up. Sort of cheap units, so I re-inforced the drawers some. Top is a 24" wide cheap shelf unit. I covered it with press-on tiles that cost 37 cents each and have some extras for when they get too bad.
The bins on the shelf are just things I picked up over the years to try and be sorta organized, they are screwed to the wall. Center support is a old unit I had, added some wood on top of it also. One section has an old pull out computer laptop drawer that I use some also.
I’m getting a damaged MTH Big Boy, so needed the room to work on it.
Twice a year, Spring and Fall, the 72"x 30" worktable is unburdened, scraped and sanded.

and repurposed for the Winter

It’s that time of the year.
Well, it’s a disaster again!
Doesn’t take long…
One of the reasons, weather permitting of course, is a lot of my work top jobs are done outdoors. Better light to work in and no one leaves things out there so a clear surface is usually clear.
Jerry, yea, the projects are piling up on mine too. Its amazing how many unfinished projects just “know” when the work surface is open and gravitate there.
Jerry are you sick? Paul
Got the BB repaired, I hope! Will try it out on the track soon. It had broken frames. Thin pot metal was not a good MTH idea for frames.
I can’t imagine trying to move a BB from the work bench to the layout… Do you go hire Two Men and a Truck?
Hope the repair holds up Jerry.
That is what’s a work bench is for!
Jerry (B) are you going to add some extra “polyswitches” inside to the pickup wires?
