Oh dear, I'll have to take down my sign, spit out my chewing tobacco and douse the fiery cross. 

Yep, that's a good start, and be sure to remove all of the non-working vehicles scattered around your front yard....or you can keep all of that stuff but just please don't call it a man cave.

My cellar -which Ma Subs has named Narnia becasue you have to get past the hanging coats to get down the stairs- is my study, my library, my painting and building area, my wargames room and storeroom. In it I have approx 400 boks on 23 bookshelves, a painting table, a writing desk for my computer, 4 under dsk office filing cabinets for rules and research, two 4-draw cupboards for terrain and 'stuff', a 4' tall unit with two doors that holds all my chaps. an overcrowded shelf with way more than 250 dvd's on and about the same in cd's on 2x7 tier stands. Plus, a drop leaf dining table that I use for making my buildings on or writing stuff freehand. When both leaves are up it also doubles up as my wargames table. Some might see cluttered, I see organised chaos.

All that in a 13'x13' room.

Subedai, sounds awesome! Please share some pictures with us!!!

My version of Narnia.


Looking into the room from the bottom of the stairs. Computer desk is on the right, on the screen can be seen a background of the Chinggis Qan metal statue in Mongolia. painting desk is on the left. Top of pic are some of my dvd's.


My 10, 15 and 25mm figures and some terrain in this storage unit. Just out of shot at the bottom are all my 6mm armies stored in A4 rigid plastic boxes.


To the right of my computer desk is the major part of my library with the filing cabinets underneath. the stairs up are just to the right.


Moving on to the right there are the stairs up, more books and the top of my drop-leaf table. The big picture on the left is of Prince Rupert and his brother Maurice that I found in an antique store in Leek, Staffordshire. At the bottom of the stairs is a framed picture of Bobby Moore (from West Ham United FC) along with his signature next to it. (Christmas prezzie from a friend).


On the right of the last picture is a small cubby-hole that goes around behind the chimney breast and under the stairs. In there is a small cupboard and my four tier plastic drawer set for my unpainted chaps.

I must admit I envy a man who has a proper study, a place to himself. In our studio I am banished to the dark and dingy corner, and the missus has all the light and the cool tools, which I am not allowed to touch. Well, I do sneak up and use the anvil every now and then.
Cheers,
Aksu

  Some very interesting tools to play with. What's your missus hobby.

   What's your missus' hobby?

When women - not my wife, who shares my views, Lord love her - remark on the expense of male hobbies, I quietly remark that kids, which most women want for reasons no more rational, cost immeasurably more than any other hobby available to the ordinary citizen.

Dump her 

Whom? A woman who regularly works out at an anvil might be risky to annoy.

She has what can only be described as sensible hobbies: dressmaking, leatherwork and jewelry making. As she is licensed to hallmark the silver jewellery she makes, the hobby becomes self-sufficient, as the sales cover the tools and materials, and the profits can be used to fund other hobbies, such as shoe and handbag collecting (there are 100+ shoe boxes in the back room off pic). It also means she has an extensive collection of both sharp and blunt instruments and power tools. However, it also means that we both enjoy visiting tool shops
Anyway, as we have been together over 30 years I suppose not fighting over tools is working for us

Subedai, that si quite a library and collection you have here. Thanks for sharing it as I really enjoyed seeing it!
