Tek Workbench

Continuing the tour of my Workbench

In the corner you see the computer equipment and monitor, storage for my spray primers and clear coats. Next to that is my collection of Army Painter paints. These are my primary choice of paints and will be used for brush and airbrush work. I store them upside down to see the color rather than the caps. Also I think they mix better once you flip them back over (I add a glass bead to every dropper bottle of paint once I’ve opened it to assist with mixing). In front of the paint is my Dremel stored in tis bench press adapter. For boring out holes for magnets, setting specific depths, and making sure a hole is straight and centered the bench press is invaluable. I can pull the Dremel out for sanding, cutting and other things. You also see the clear plastic cups used for mixing two part resins and glues.

Next is the spray booth. It has internal lighting and a blower to vent fumes to the outside (it actually came with an adapter to work with most dryer vents) The spray booth is lifted up to a comfortable working hight using a home made drawer that stores tool manuals, spare tool parts and my glass scraper. I have  two airbrushes connected to my compressor. The compressor is an Aspire Pro TC910. U feel having a storage tank is a must so you don’t get a variable pressure at the airbrush. The airbrushes are a Universal 360, and a Patriot 105, both by Badger. To either side are things like distilled water, reducing agents, mixing mediums and cleaners. You can also see my T Square, and drill hanging out as well.

Last, but certainly not least is my 3D printer. I have an Prusia I3 Mk 2.5 and love it. Underneath it are some of my board game storage but also my hot wire cutting system and a small computer or electronics vacuum. This is great for cleaning the tools and small enough to get up on the bench and in and around the paints and stuff.

Let me know if you have questions.
