It's too much work cleaning off the Dining Room table and setting-up to clean the flinters. Decided it was time to simplify, so I'm going to convert my old 11' x 13' home-office in the garage to a "gun-cleaning" workshop.

Any suggestions and/or workshop photos would be appreciated.
 
I just bought a 18' enclosed trailer to use as a rolling work shop :thumbsup: I'm on the road working most of the time now so I don't get to use my shop back in Bama. I'm staying in my 33' 5th wheel travel trailer with my wife & our dog,So God only knows I need more room :surrender: I plan to bring it back down to sunny south Florida after Christmas. Just down the road from you Dixie Flinter, in Homestead
 
This would be a good example of what you don't want it to look like :shake:

I moved the family into a house last weekend, I claimed the basement for a den/workshop, and the wife get the rest of the house.....its a fair enough trade I figure.
Heres my little shop so far...

Its still a work in progress but its far far better then using the floor, and I can finally have proper access to all my tools!

Thanks guys!
Yes the cap is a SSTK repro I got as a gift from someone I used to know a few years ago.

Its good to have a dedicated spot to work at!
All of it is a bit mickey mouse right now but it is jelling.

I have been gathering more tools, bits and pieces to really get into the Jager build.

And soon I have 3 origional trade guns coming all of it should keep me busy through the winter!

Cheers
 
bessbattlesystem that´s not fair ,your workshop is to new a good mess need time :grin:
 
Hi Dixie Flinter, here is a couple of pictures of what is known as my "blokeatorium" its where I go to hide when I am in the dog house and work on firearms among other things. I have a few items in there out of shot that entertain us while we work (the idiotbox) as well as being on a hill we get a good breeze for the jobs that require a little ventilation, Regards, Broadarrow

Like a sign I had at work said:

A CLEAN DESK IS THE SIGN OF A SICK MIND.

The same thing can be said of a CLEAN SHOP. :grin:
 
Trust me folks, you would be much happier if you saw what the bobcat had just piled up behind me out of shot this photo was taken because my wife has never seen it like that, when she saw the photos she asked where is that? Regards, Broadarrow
 
I'd like to know how you find anything. It's all hidden away. :rotf:
 
Those doors are only hiding what most people spread all over the floor & workbenches I had to come up with some way of keeping car & gun bits apart, Regards, Broadarrow
