Description


I thought it was about time to let all my friends here have a look at what's been taking up so much of my time lately (well, besides work, storms, power outages, wasp plagues, alien invasions, riders of the apocalypse, etc, etc...). Anyway.... I've been working on this off and on for a bit over a year, now, and I'm nearing completion. I thought I'd post a few updates as the final stages move along. I've been using a couple old folding-leg tables that I rescued from a dumpster years ago, and a door laid across two file cabinets for my computer tables. It's worked, but I wanted something with a bit more room, and a lot more sturdy. This system of tables will consist of two corner sections with a 4-foot section in between, and two 6-foot sections on the other side of each corner piece. The entire assembly will be a big "U" shape, Primary construction is complete - next comes finishing, painting and installation, which will come in the next few weeks. I'll soon be booting the minivan out of the garage for a week or so for some pre-assembly final sanding, and painting. Then it will be disassembled, and I'll spend a weekend taking out the old tables, and getting everything set up in the computer room. I'm tired just thinking about it. But once done it should be great. Of course, I'll be continuing to work on the T.N.A. story, and I'll have page 19 ready to upload soon. Once this project is done, I should be able to move along faster with the story - and a few other things I've got cooking... Artwise, of course! Speaking of Art..... I was perusing my latest online copy of 3D Art Direct while taking a break, and there's a great interview with our friend Art Dorety (adorety) - you really need to check it out HERE! There are some wonderful insights into Art's storytelling along with his awesome artwork. Congrats, Art! Way to go, buddy! :-D Hope you all have a great weekend! I'm sure ready for a couple days away from my (gah) job! Thanks for dropping by, and for all your support!

Way cool! :) This is going to be SO awesome when it's all put together and done. At the rate you're going (ahem) we can help you put it together when we're there in October! LOL! I'm hell-on-wheels with a paintbrush. :P Get yourself a fancy chair, too. You deserve it! :)

Funny you should mention the chair.... The chair I'm using right now was rescued from....... wait for it............ A dumpster! LOL I'm hell on dumpsters! :-D Hopefully it'll be finished by October - but I can send the drones out, and fly you here early! LOL

Very cool series of photos of your work station. Great work and look forward to seeing the completed station. of course with a photo of you AT the station creating another fun and fabulous page of the Girls. Keep up the great work, Rod. I'm not too sure about the people who 'design' the computer stations that we see at various office stores - apparently they've never had to really work at one for 8+ hours a day. One day I'll post a photo of my station and tell you and all others of my evolutionary desk

Yeah, most of those "big box" stores' so-called computer workstations are a pathetic waste of time and money. Cheaply made out of particle board garbage with cheap vinyl covering with a wood grain pattern printed on it. They usually start falling apart after 3 months' use...

Now that's a computer desk+++. Can't wait to see it in its full glory. Maybe the girls can drop by and help you christen your finished product. :-)

I'm afraid if they dropped by, not much work would get done..... Hehehehehe :-P~

Is that really you under that mask? is it really because of the dust or are you just camera shy? you would get things done faster if you were not such a Neat Freak!

outstanding design and originality . I am sneezing now just seeing the dust!!. I always had problems with masks causing my glasses to steam up, so I did not wear except in extreme dusting conditions. I have not done any carpentry since I replaced all my interior doors in my house. I have a neighbor that builds high quality furniture in a one car garage. it is so crowded, not like your work area

With those 3 hotties, I know not much would get done! Ranpha would be too busy playing with stuff, and who knows what that would lead to! LOL

You seem to have mastered the "art of focus" ........... :) Now it's a matter of tuning, perhaps. With all these projects, my patience would be depleted, but I have come to realize that each person must follow their own calling, and an observing world has little to do except observe... or in the words of Ted Turner "Lead, follow or get out of the way ". This might be a good time to implement the aid of one of those vacuum cleaners that you scrounged, placed properly, the noise would not distract, and you could create a nice pile of mulch outside the shop area... js

That is quite a project. I love working with wood and I'm drooling over your workshop. I'm looking forward to seeing the final product with all the computers in place. Make sure to keep your fingers out of the way of the sharp objects. From personal experience I can attest that Boo-Boos are not fun.

I at first took it to be a model railroad table - didn't think it was for computers as it's so large! Nice photos of the step by step construction process. Now I definitely KNOW that you're going to keep up the good work, considering the effort going into this! :-)

Fantastic workstation mate. My father was a craftsman in wood like yourself. I totally appreciate it, but didn't inherit his skills sad to say!

Cool to see your work space Rod. Really nice home woodshop you've got. Funny how we set up our computers to fit our needs and space. My recording studio doubles as a hang out space too (mancave) and I do my computer art in there too. I literally have my computer set up on a modified rolling stool/chair. It has a very small footprint and can be rolled out of the way when there's recording or jamming going on. It might be kind of cool to other's computer workspaces just for fun! Thanks for the nod and the link! :) I am sorry to see Paul bowing out for a while or maybe for good. That said I was very honored to have some reposts and a section in his last issue. Great guy, Paul Bussey, and he hosted some very informative webinars and podcasts.
