You can't beat a good shed Blues. Have so many nice thoughts of watchin my father tinkering in his big shed when I was a wee lad. Lol I think we get less organised after a certain age, well I find I am.

Pavlo, gotta echo Justin's comment. Ya setup sounds Niiiiceeeee!!!!

@Lane. Can't say I have planned a build yet.Sounds like something I should get around to next time around.

Thanks Jonno. It may not be the most spacious place, but it works for me.

As far as the disorginization of my workspaces, its just like my Dad. I've become him

My build space is one second hand workbench and a desk I made in my garage, the rest of the garage is full of crap and the wife gets on at me to clean it, but, well that's not fun so no :D

Ha ha, funny. So far my wife is tolerant, especially for living how we do, but occasionally she will call me a hoarder when I find some new boxes and little this and thats for future projects. I tell her it's just a matter of opinion.

Show her who da boss Pavlo. Nothin can come between a dude and his cbg passion. Just kiddin.

@ Jobo .Soldier on mate. Not havin much room can suck at times.

@ Way. Thatz the spirit he he.

@ Blues. I hear ya about becoming more like your dad. People tell me a lot now that my mannerisms and such remind them of my old man. And you know, he was really into wood and crafting, boat building etc etc. I never was into wood or makin stuff. Now I have this cbg passion, and though my stuff ain't that great, compared to his wood craft, when I sit watchin t.v and sandin a neck , I somehow feel he is smilin down on me.

Cheers all. Jonno

Haha, you don't know my wife! She has been patient so far, but I have been called a hoarder a few times. I may have to sell one every now and then. I am now trying to have my blues boxes represent places I have been on this trip. The one for Texas may take up some room, since you know everything is big in Texas. 

 In a lot of ways I am now finding in my forties my dad and I are similar in our views. It's okay cuz the old man and I are like the Lone Ranger and Tonto. He beat stage 4 melanoma naturally, and has been surviving various other ailments including lukemia without chemo. I know it has nuthin to do with guitars, but it doesn't hurt to pay tribute to our dads once and a while. But in a lot of ways I am like him, and I did not forsee this in my 20s.

I like the paying it forward idea. I may do that with my first one. Most places I brought the red guitar to try out amps into offered to sell for me. BTW I played through the micro cube. I am just going to be real nice to my wife and get one used. Nice sounding amp that you can play quiet. What is OFS btw?

Hi, over the years I've had a few workshops, from hiding work under my bench at my day job to do at lunch time, to the "lean too" on the back of our first house [pictured] to beautiful purpose built rammed earth workshop, through to what I have now. Also pictured my current space, it is actually three workshops and a spay/paint room. Took a while though. You guys have gotta start somewhere.

What that saying the journey starts with that first bench or kitchen table. Oh! I forgot to mention the kitchen table.

Cheers Taff
