Painting Desk/Area

[d_Guy]

Enjoying the thread also. FJ's is indeed neat (along with Tarty's). In fact FJ's painting projects are also exceedingly well organized. I have had figures on sticks and primed that have disappeared into the mire.

The other thing I've noticed is that some (Terry, Leman and I think Fred) dip the tip of the Vallejo bottle tops into the paint so you can find stuff when it in eight deep ranks. This seems an obvious thing to do but never occurred to me.

Thought I would join in on this.  So I consider myself very fortunate as my wife is a wood working genius.  At the moment I am overseas for a year.  While I have been gone for the past two and a half months, she decided to re-build my painting area in the basement.  I will see it for the first time when I go back on leave in 3 weeks.  Thought I would share.  OH the shelving, ceiling and new lights and paint rack was all done by her not some tradey.
so here are some pics over the next couple of posts.

And a close up of one of the two paint racks, well 3, I also have one out near my airbrush booth.
That box is a new style record player, as I like to listen to my old records when I paint.

Okay, I'm very very jealous!

Awesome!

Whilst my other half is a wizz at DIY, her opinion of my hobby pursuits is such I'd probably just get a box made and everything locked inside it

  @toxicpixie  Yes well I have been warned if I make a mess of it she will start hiding things on me!

It's when makes a partition, "forgets" the door and leaves you behind it you need to worry

Very nice setup!

I like the idea of being able to spin round in the office chair, inspect the racks of paints, spin again and paint.

I suspect I would soon end up with the contents of the racks on the desk. Or dizzy

So the paints are organised by brand and colour sets, blues, greens, reds, browns etc.  I have a small round swivel 'thing' on my desk.  So I grab half a dozen that I need and put them on the little swiveller that also has my brushes and I am good to go for what I am doing.  Then just change em out when I am finished for a new set.

[Leman]

What does 'charge them out when I am finished' mean?

[Obsidian23]

As an example if I am doing jackets/coats for French Nap line.  I will have the colours on my desk, the swivel thingy.  Once there done I put them away and grab the next set of colours for the next piece, trousers for example, so I change them out, old set for the new set.

Right ho, it's a style of production line.
