Title: Man Cave Act II
Post by: Autumnarcher on July 21, 2011, 11:04:00 PM
LAst winter I spent a lot of time rebuilding my basement hideaway, building new cabinets, etc so I could have a room that I can keep my bows, arrow building and reloading stuff in.
I got it about half done, when we got the great idea to move.

So with the move, I brought all my cabinets with me, as the new house had a perfect room in the finished basement to set up shop.

Im not completely done yet, still have to trim it out, and do the back wall, but its off to a great start.

The only thing I need to do now is christen it by burning some feathers.

Yep, the knobs are antler bases I got a while back from a fellow tradgang member. I still have a few of them to put on, butthey look really cool. I did have a incident yesterday, I was hanging stuff on the wall, and one of my Euro-mounts fell and smashed the skull to pieces. Its the buck on the right next to the deer skin. I was bummed as it was one that was almost a match tothe one on the left. SHot 'em both from the same treestand a few years apart. Oh well.

There are a lot of little things I did while putting it together. The workbench was my Dad's, as were a lot of the tools I used. you may notice the cane on the end of the bow rack, that was his as well. My Dad loved to work with wood, as do I, and I have a few things in there of his for obvious reasons. He would have loved to hang out there.

I'll probably put some laminated wood flooring in this winter, and I'm debating about doing the ceiling in pine as well, but with a slightly darker stain to it.

Still need to run the sat cable, and install the TV/DVD player so I can watch my Fred Bear videos, and of course my Tigers games while Im tinkering. Its a work in progress for sure.

Hey John,
Looks great.  Perhaps  I'll give you a call when I get my 'room' added onto the barn.  Gotta get the new house in place first.  Although my room will probably have to wait unitl I'm retired.

Good looking stuff. Every man should have a cave to retreat to. Mine isn't near as clean as yours! One of my "projects" before Oct. 1st is to get a little more organized!

Too clean
Title: Re: Man Cave Act II
Post by: Autumnarcher on July 23, 2011, 01:18:00 AM
OK, yep, its pretty clean, but trust me, it isnt always like that. The counter usually has remnents of a couple projects on it, there are tools that havent been put away etc.

I took the pics after I got it to where it is now.

Howard, when you get ready to do yours, let me know, I'd be more than happy to help ya out.

Really with my shop, the most involved part was building all the cabinets. Sure, I could have bought some, but whats the point of having a shop if you are gonna buy everythning yo uneed in it?

I picked up the rest of the T&G pine today to finish up, but before I do that I gotta get the deck built I promised my wife before I leave for elk hunting.
