So far not a sign of one, but I don't mind spiders, it's the bigger hairy things that worry me !!!

Good God man! you can't let the ladies in your hut, actually I get the best inspiration when Mrs DW comes for a look (bearing gifts of Coffee and Biscuits).
Still love the set up, and such hard work.

Actually my good lady not only brings me coffee and cake, she is also just starting doing nail art in the wee shed.

Well after being seperated for the last 18 months off and on. My wife and I are back together! I'm posting this on this section because shortly I'll be having a new modelling area. My new studio will be the now spare room. I'm going to turn this into my little heaven. So keep an eye out for it.

Congrats on getting back together!

The new modelling area is a nice bonus as well.

So I thought I could make do with my 8" tablet running videos and tutorials where I work, but alas, it just wasnt working for me.
I i put together a mini ITX rig running an AMD dual core APU which will be great for youtube and HD videos off the lan as well as browsing this forum.

: Why are ITX motherbaords so expensive? At least the CPU/APU was cheap. About $50. Great horsepower for that price.; IMG_20141021_164502.jpg (89.55 KiB) Viewed 2319 times

: I like Coolermaster cases. This was the cheapest ITX case I could find too.; IMG_20141021_164509.jpg (63.58 KiB) Viewed 2319 times

Yup, got the media PC connected and ready to go

Donkeywalloper · Post by **Donkeywalloper** » Wed Oct 22, 2014 2:49 pm

Amazing, but I'll be honest PC goes over my head and far away.
It does look a super set-up though.

I am the same way in both my garage and even in the basement, the wifi flips in and out or is weak
Is there such a thing as a wifi booster Grover???

As far as I'm concerned it's Ethernet cable for me all the way when it comes to Internet, I almost never use Wi-Fi, so unreliable. Besides you can get a good very long Ethernet cable for a few pound/dollars, you just have to get it to where you need it.

Wifi is getting better. I still have wired up my house but for this pc, one of my 2 access points is in the room directly above so it's a pretty strong signal. A agree though, where you can ethernet is always better.

Well I've now sorted out my man cave after moving back in with my wife.
I'm now set up in one of the spare rooms! No more being cold and cramped in the summer house.
The pics are a little dark sorry.

Nice mech mods.

My daily setup.

grover · Post by **grover** » Fri Oct 31, 2014 9:47 pm

Just got my spray area sorted. I was going to make my own spray booth but I found one for $100 (about 50 pounds) and if I need a larger area in the future I can get another one and join them together

bobbewieter · Post by **bobbewieter** » Fri Oct 31, 2014 9:53 pm

Looking nice grover

Pff i still need a spray booth... I'm just spraying without ventilation in my shed now

Cheers guys. I could do with a bit bigger table surface but it's borrowed from work. I'll look at making a better bench over xmas.

Nev · Post by **Nev** » Mon Nov 03, 2014 3:19 pm

I've been banished to the garage by the Misses. It's not much but it's all mine!

I have my spray booth in the corner so the outlet hose can reach the outside.

Omi · Post by **Omi** » Mon Nov 03, 2014 3:57 pm

Love that paint rack and spray booth needs some paint on it, to clean. Lol

Too right mate brand new LOL

Coen · Post by **Coen** » Mon Nov 03, 2014 4:38 pm

Where did you find it Nev? That paint rack I mean?

Nev · Post by **Nev** » Mon Nov 03, 2014 5:08 pm

I got it from a local beauty salon Mike. It used to hold a range of nail polishes that got discontinued.

The Girls were going to chuck it on the skip so I rescued it!!! I carried it all the way home with a big cheesy grin on my face... I think folks must have thought I was a looney

New hobby/craft area for my wife and I is almost finished

From old

To new

Work in progress, but finally can get back to models

Omi · Post by **Omi** » Sat Nov 08, 2014 11:50 pm

A his and hers cool, no complaining about sitting at the bench all night, SWMBO can sit and have a chat. Lol great space.

SeanH20 · Post by **SeanH20** » Sun Nov 09, 2014 12:58 am

Really like that set up Yevgeny. One shared computer might be tricky though. If we start seeing posts about bobbin upgrades then we know that it was intended for the International Sewing Machinists forum...

Look forward to seeing new builds emerging from that very nice space.
