New beginnings
Paint racks and table
Brush organiser is a simple box made out of wood offcuts which I then drilled with a hole saw to match normal waste plumbing pipe, a little bit of grab adhesive and leaving to dry is all it needs then a coat of paint.
the paint rack is a good example of the flexibility a 3d printer brings as all the honeycombs we’re printed at home, my advice for a beginner the Ender 3 pro
as for the table playing surface itself well that’s made out of interlocking loft boarding edged with beading for strength. I mounted it on two lengths of 3×2 so I could attach the legs and bracing pieces. The playing surface is higher than normal for two reasons the first being comfort sitting at the stools I got for nothing and the second that a camping bed can be unrolled underneath should anyone want a beer and crash.
that’s it folks hobby room complete all from salvaged and recycled stuff or bits sourced from junk shops car boots and eBay it takes a while saving stuff but sometimes it’s worth it and it pays to be cheeky.
@wolf320f Wow, what a moving story! Don would be proud of what you are doing. You are right in that we’ve become a throwaway economy. I fixed a microwave for 65p when it was shorting as the cost to repair it from the original vendor was a tenner short of a brand new one! It still works today ten years on. I guess it’s a generational thing in part fuelled by FOMO and a lack of quality and robustness in modern items in favour of aesthetics. ? Anyhow keep up the good work… ??
