Title: Basement workshop and indoor range PICS
Post by: warden415 on January 29, 2008, 07:58:00 PM
Well I just posted these pics on an old thread titled "my knife shop pics" or something like that, it was an old thread from Feb 2007 with about 6 pages of pics. Shortly after I posed, the thread was closed???? It hadn't been posted on since March 07 so I have no idea why it would suddenly be closed. I don't think it could have been something in my pics? Oh well here goes again.  I just cleaned and re-orginized my shop so I figured I better get pics while it is clean! It is my basement(MANCAVE) and has a room off of it with knife building stuff in it, it is actually under my front porch. I was also able to incorparate a 17 yard indoor range into my basement. Steve

I like all the room you have....oh, and the door pulls! Did you use old cabinets that you replaced in your house?

If I had a basement like that...well, aside from hunting, I don't think I'd ever come above ground...

Wish I had a chest of drawers like that! I was just marvelling at all the places there were to lay something down.
I don't have anything like that here.  :readit:

Snag, those were old cabinets out of a kitchen, but not mine. My buddy was redoing a kitchen for someone and they were getting rid of them so I got them all real cheap. They were in my shop at my old house, and one of the stipulations when I sold it, was they came with me! After all, I did have alot of work in all those deer and moose antler handles!  :bigsmyl:  
I do spend a ton of time down there, even if it's just hanging out, like I said about the "mancave" the wife lets me do whatever I wish down there, well as far as decorating that is!   :pray:

I like it.  I hung some of my parent's old kitchen cabinets up in my basement and shoot down there too.  i can only shoot about 8-yards but that's plenty for practicing your release and form...  How far can you shoot?

Way too clean for a work shop.  Do you actually build anything down there?  :)

I like the island/workbench area  is that homemade or did you purchase it? I am deinitely envious of the mancave.

Do you ever go upstairs? I would just live down there. Shoot for an hour, light up a nice stogie and enjoy the "mancave" Love that term.
Great tools too. Enjoy in good health.

Very nice! It'll be a while before I can buy a house, but a workshop area is high on the "must have" list. And yours is even big enough to shoot in!

Jerrod, the workbench is homemade. I found the plans in a Woodworking mag. It has 4 layers of 3/4" MDF for the top, so the bench is pretty hefty and stable. It is one of those things that after you have it, you have no idea how you lived without it before.

Steve,
The new house there looks awesome. I think that basement was a good trade with the pool. I will try and get in touch with you the next time I'm in town. I would love to see some of the thing you've been working on.
How was the rest of your hunting season?

Mike, I invited Ben to come over, when he finally makes it, you should come with him. We usually get together on Mondays, unless I get forced to work.
