Hi all
      A few days ago my son at my request built me a workstation which I must say I'm extremely impressed with as an added bonus the missus also likes it as it keeps the kitchen tidier.





But this got me wondering what do other people use as their workstation ?


Take care

Excellent, very handy!  I could do with one of those to keep Dave tidy!

As one who lives in splendid isolation, I don't suffer the "wife" problem. I use a camping table for a actual painting. It's higher than a standard table which I feel is better for my back, an I have a spray booth made of cardboard boxes that I keep out the back so the fumes don't get to me.

Impressed with that station...
If I were creating Pendraken I wouldn't mess about with Romans and  Mongols  I would have started with Centurions , eight o'clock, Day One!

I don't have space to store a small workstation such as that :(.

I have a much simpler version of Andy's style of workstation. Just an old cupboard door with some edges at the back to catch the paints. I now rarely use the portable nature of it - other than shoving it back a bit on my desk.

On Andy's, I think I would find the sides a bit high at the front? But I do like the racks at the back.

Andy,

Do you have to paint outside? Doesn't that get problematic on rainy days?

Nice workstation!

Mine is wherever my stuff is, much to the wifes grumbling.  ;D ;D

My painting table with a selection of paints - in theory they're stored in a rack in my bedroom and only the half-a-dozen I'm currently using are out on the table - you can see how well that's working :)

Very neat, Womble. Might be a profitable side-line.  :D

How can you work in such neat and organised conditions???

Uncle, I don't.

I've just achieved the Grail: my wife has "decided" that the little fella is going in the big bedroom and "all the crap" is going in the back bedroom...SUITS ME  :)

Dedicated painting desk...angle poise lamp...not having to clear up in the lounge...happy days  :)
