Show us your Working Place/LEGO room

[grum64]

After all it is for a good cause!!!

A good cause indeed

[Sariel]

This time I can show you a little more than just my working place :)

Note - the audio is in Polish, but there are English subtitles that you can turn on in the player.

[Edwin Korstanje]

Very nice look at the inside of your men(hamster)cave Sariel

[2LegoOrNot2Lego...]

Great to have a look in kitchen...

It's all fun and games but try to make any meal without hamsters raising hell to get some of it ;)

[allanp]

You have multiple hamsters?! I thought there was only one. The magic of the movies! Is there one star hamster and then a stunt hamster?

[dr_spock]

Hamster actor's union contract may say one hamster can only work so many minutes before mandatory rest and feed period.

[Sariel]

There are always two hamsters, so that I can work with the one that isn't sleeping at the moment :)

[Freekysch]

Very nice working place you got there, I must admit that I envy you . Happy MOCing.

I'm very lucky. I have an amazing Wife who besides being incredibly patient (believe me, she needs to be!), happily accepts me for the man I can't help being

Sorry for my frankness, but I wonder, have there even been a woman?

Sorry for my frankness, but just because you're invited to take a look at my home and my "hobby area" doesn't mean you're invited to peek under my duvet. It's amazing how some people confuse these two.

^ Perfect response Don't you offer some 'how to reply with style' courses? I'd sign up

[Jeka Jackson]

Sorry for I've touched the sick theme, I couldn't expect that there remain complexes after opening your doors worldwide

[Sariel]

I don't know what complexes you mean or what you expected or what is your problem in general, you clearly didn't understand what I said. If you think that visiting someone's home entitles you to investigate their sex life, then I guess you don't get many invitations.

[Jim]

I think Jeka didn't properly phrased what he meant to say.

Anyway; let's get back to working spaces, and leave Sariel's private life private

[grum64]

Taking Jims very good advice to get the conversation back to our working spaces, a small update on my shed.

At long last sparky's been and worked his magic so my shed now has power. The 5 double sockets are in and the lights are up. I've gone for fluorescent tubes as they should be cheap to run, long lasting and they do provide great light. I've a 5' one to illuminate the end of the shed that'll be used for storage and 4' above my build table.

Next job. Insulation.

As I really feel the cold I've decided on 50mm Celotex to help keep the shed warm. The downside to choosing this is it's cost, it's far more expensive than I thought it was going to be.

After a few minutes online I came across a local company that sells Celotex 'seconds'. These are sheets of Celotex that might have a crease in the backing foil, a small chip off a corner/edge, a surface dent etc,. All the sheets are perfectly useable they just haven't passed Celotex's strict quality controls. 1200mm x 2400mm x 50mm sheets cost around half the price as those from anywhere else meaning big savings.

Not much will get done next week as we have our eldest Son's wedding but after that it'll be full speed ahead to get the shed finished before the colder weather arrives.

Pictures will follow when there's tangible progress.

I could be wrong, but is fluorescent lighting not one of the causes of yellowing of white bricks over time? Not that this should be a reason not to use fluorescent lighting, as it's fairly cheap to run and gives good general light for the money.

I've heard various reasons for the yellowing of white bricks but I've not heard anything about fluorescent lighting causing it before. It's too late now I know but out of interest, anyone have any more info about this?

Thanks for the heads up.

[dhc6twinotter]

Does anybody here use the 4' LED strip lights like this?

http://www.lowes.com/pd_595731-43921-MXL2006-LED2X24K840_1z11k3pZ1z11owhZ1z140qi__?productId=999911231&pl=1

I'm wondering how well they work. I don't like the flicker the many fluorescent lights have, and I'm thinking about going LED once I get my LEGO room set up.

I need to find some nice organizers too, and this thread has been great for ideas.
