Love to see how my favourite monsanto shilling, big pharma bootlicking, alt right youtuber sets up his rig. Recommending lights no doubt made by slave labour in some yorkshire how he uses flashy USB (short for Use Slavelabour Boys) lighting strips to distract from the dark dungeon -like interior of his new bunker....sorry "warehouse". I'm suprised he didn't edit out the bit where one of his escaped "free labourers" got into shot, the longing for aid and pleading for rescue obvious on his face, it was passed off as a joke about having a "tea lady", see how he dehumanises the poor man by calling him a even is one of those, some kind of rat I'm guessing, but I know for definite they don't have "ladies" in the Grim Dark North, only undead could roam the street in January in Wakey in a boob tube and not keel over from immediate hypothermia.

Don't buy into his products guys, he deserves no help from the community, all of the money goes into his greedy luxury car driving fat cat bank account. I implore you, DO NOT buy his products, even if they are fantastic and some of the best and well costed hobby products on the market. I ordered a package the other day and it literally turned up first thing in the morning next day....now that concerned me, as the only way to make that happen is via sorcery (which isn't even real), or witchcraft....which I'm guessing this satan loving top knot wearing skinny jeaned freak is all about.

Here he is producing free content for people to peruse, he can only do it free because he uses indentured minions, just like the drug cartels of the south west of Canada. Free does not mean good. My government tried to give me a "free" education....but I fought it, for the cost of that "free" was too steep, I didn't want to end up buying into the narrative the other sheeple eat up. Be free, stay strong, and whatever you do, don't watch the rest of his videos in search for satanic iconography....I lost too much time and sleep uncovering the hidden symbolism and dark numerology in his videos, although my bases do look nice now.

Love that you can airbrush and make toast with one convenient unit!

Helping out local retailers is so important. Thanks for bring it to light, you're a champ!

I do love that you took a look at using cheaper items that would fill your needs instead of just throwing money at the problem. And that you still found a way to take prefab and make it custom to your needs. My current set up is still in transition. But it's even more limited in space than yours. But most of what I have as far as a work table/desk, storage racks, and other needed items are either repurposed items, built from new cheap-ish lumber, or built from recycled lumber that I have salvaged from pallets and pallet toppers I get from work for free. This is in a house we bought about a year ago. The previous owner left a bunch of stuff. A portion of that stuff is still in that space. When I get all of the extra junk out I'll have some extra space for some more things I want/need. But again, keeping costs down is paramount. Seeing your set up there are a few things I think I could use. Alas we have no IKEA near me. So I'll be thinking and rethinking the last of my needs. Pricing and repricing various options. And hoping I figure it out. Thank you for sharing this though. I always love to see different various creative shop set ups. Just to see how different people arrive at solutions for the same questions as well as stealing useful ideas they have had.

The Kallax is a classic. Good tip with the worktop over the desktop as well.

[RealTerrainHobbies]

That is one lovely setup you have there Luke. That space is so nice man👌

I used two old filing cabinets, 3 8' 2x4's and an old door for my desk. Having a lot of square fottage for doing hobbies makes it so much easier! Until you realize that theres about 20 unfinished projects sitting there, with another 20 looking at you that you just have to get to, right now, for some reason.
I find that if I put something in a cupboard or closet, that once out of sight, its out of mind.

I used to have a setup like yours, but eventually gave up on it as I found Kallax too tall to sit and too low to stand. No matter what I did, I ended up with backpains.

I eventually bought a table with variable height, and have enjoyed both sitting and standing while working ever since. So in my opinion, no matter what else you want as part of your setup, such a table is an absolute must-have. It will save you an awful lot of backpain over the years.

Wow, Luke... that is seriously cool! I went to a charity shop and saw an old office desk with a sign that read: Make Offer. (they had several on offer) I offered $15, and the guy said, "For that price you can have two of them."

I actually built my own hobby desk a year ago. I used 3/4" sanded plywood but the best part was I paid a maker space owner to CNC out some 1/2" MFD to a design I drew up on Fusion 360. It was a giant Imperial Galactic Empire Symbol from Star Wars and then pieces on all the sides to look like the halls of the Death Star. I painted it all with an Imperal grey over white and the symbol is black. It's so Star Wars it hurts. I love it.

Brilliant set up and we need to see more of your wee doggie - he's goregous!

[TabletopWitchCRAFT]

Nice layout, love having those light stands off the floor I bet.

I built my hobby desk using offcuts from a kitchen counter company. I got a 2 meter section for a steal.
I used two of the Ikea Alex drawer systems and added a 3/4 inch MDF spacer between the desk and the countertop and connected everything with double sided heavy duty carpet tape. It is super solid now and doesnt budge at all when I try to move it.

[s.j.]

Wow your hobby area is somuch bigger from what it was couple years ago so nice, so happy for you. Like always keep it up luke. 😊 🎼🎶🎵🎵

[rottiehood]

Awesome! I’m in the middle of moving into a new home and finally get my own hobby room! Thanks for the ideas! And remember buy local!

[GDSMiniatures]

Great fur effects on that 75mm Dachshund

I just bought some kitchen base units and a sheet of 3/4 ply wood and varnished it for a bit of protection for my work bench in my craft room worked very well a very happy with it office chairs are stupidly expensive, am going to do the same for my shed it's where I do spraying and workshop stuff but loved what you have done

[davidrickey]

Very nice setup. We just move into a smaller house and have been trying to figure out the best use of space for the new craft room. I'm probably going to have to steal some of these ideas.
