The Hobby Room

[dave77]

I had to assembly it inside the closet.

What a great idea to put the reloading area in the closet with good front access. You could lock it to keep little hands out if necessary.

It is nice to be able to close it off. Sometimes something needs to be torn apart for several days. Good way of preventing missing screws.

That would be nice. I have to be pretty careful about leaving unfinished projects out. With 3 indoor cats small things left out do tend to disappear. It's not as bad with the adults but Callie, the kitten is still at the everything is my toy stage. I had a small bottle of prescription eye drops disappear off the my coffee table and I looked everywhere and did not find it, luckily it was almost due to be refilled.

I moved a table into the hobby room which I am now calling the green room.

I still have cans of paint laying around.

I’m going to order the 26 inch cart for this toolbox. I need more room for house tools. The 41 inch cart and box are all for firearm parts.

I ordered two tool carts for the hobby room which I’m now calling the green room.

The 27 inch tool chest will get the matching cart to sit on. The bench will get a 52 inch cart under it. Both carts will have there wheels removed and set on plywood.

Between the bench and cart should be about three inches to store targets. Plus I will have more drawers to store items. Those plastic boxes are cheap but sometimes you have to move a few just to get to the one you want.

I like being able to close the doors and get rid of the clutter.

I didn't as neatly "get rid of the clutter" at my basement gun/work bench, Gene. But all my firearm supplies are at least in drawers of two filing cabinets. Out of sight does help. Your setup is coming together nicely.

And I like your hat hooks. Got to get mine together someday.

I wear many hats.

[Sir Henry]

The chests are here and in the room.

This tool set will hold house tools.

Each drawer can hold 100 pounds so I’m thinking ammo for this one. But first I need to put a couple supports under the floor.

Handguns and parts will fill this set.

Gene- Wow, it looks great! It is really coming together! There are just so many little touches that are cool. You have really done a nice job sir. It is a classy, functional, and welcoming.... put on the coffee sir, we are all coming over!

[markiver54]

Great work Gene...I'm jealous.

[Hatchdog]

The red and black tool chests look great with your wall colors and woodwork. Looks almost luxurious! That table is just screaming out for a card game of chance......

[Sir Henry]

The hobby room has gone through a few changes. I’ve had three different tables in it and don’t like any of them.

The first table was too small, the second table to big and was table height. Then I came up with this ugly thing. It’s the perfect size and was very cheap. Did I mention that it’s ugly?

Today I came across this beauty and it’s the perfect size and is standing table height. Something this room needs. The chair is low for this piece and doesn’t come with it. It’s not cheap but he isn’t asking too much. It’s priced about right.

So I need some enablers to tell me to buy it. I think it would look great and it has all of the functions I want.

[CT_Shooter]

I love old wood furniture and that's a beauty. Be enabled!

[markiver54]

Very nice Gene. I would not do any rough work on that one☺

[BigAl52]

Looks like your are having fun Gene

[Sir Henry]

Thanks for enabling me. No rough work. Yes I’m having fun. Find it where you can.

The rug is folded to the floor space. It is longer but narrower and when set in at a slight angle I can open all drawers. The safe has even more room in front of it.

That table looks heavy. You’ll have to get Forty to help you move it in, with all the gravel you two have been slinging this year you both should be in good shape.

Seriously that’s a nice looking piece of furniture and if it fits like you believe should it will be a classy addition to your Hobby room.

My biggest concern is getting it through the door dimension wise. There was a note on it saying it comes apart. I’m heading back to look at it again in a few hours.

[Sir Henry]

The white van came in handy today.

Yep that means I drove back to Snohomish and bought the standing table.

The table is mostly setup and things in drawers moved. I turned it around and had to move things to make them more handy. The table is wide enough to have a standing and sitting work area.

I ordered some rings today so I can finish mounting the scopes I bought a month ago.

Having all my sights, rings and small parts in these drawers will help.

Finally soft lighting. I had to adjust the lights out towards the wall and not down.

Funny about cats!
Whenever Carol is working, the cat is always right on top of things....literally.

[Hatchdog]

That looks great, really like the carpet runner on the table top. Also those drawers sure look handy for small parts and mounts. Mine are in a tall dresser in plastic bins and are a pain to get to. I like your set up much better. Classy room indeed!
