Share your diecast work space
This is my office at work, this is where I do a lot of my car building or testing. I do it during breaks or lunch and also when I'm working late at my shop. If I'm lucky I get about an hour a day if that too play with cars. And you can see my cars are inside of two plastic containers, that's basically where I work out of between my house and work.
Messy but I am sort of productive. LOL Now all I have to do is win some races!
I finally built myself a little spot under the basement steps.
One big mess

The Learnector diecast racecar build facility.
My work space doesn't really need a photograph. It's an outgrowth of the one I used when I lived in a Volkswagen Microbus in the late 1980's. Apart from assorted paints, an off-brand Dremel, and a crank-drill (and the new axle alignment jig I bought a couple weeks ago-thanks redlinederby!) I keep all my tools in a former bank drive-up cylinder I bought at a flea market. The space for letting paint and JBWeld dry is wherever, and the cars for future projects are everywhere.
This is where Ra cooks up those beautiful, but slow, builds.
I'm just getting into die cast racing. For the past couple years I've been slowly gathering track material and reading any How To info I can find. Like most everyone else I'm having a hard time finding cars.
This is my hobby area. From left to right; Out of sight to the left is a small spray booth. In the picture to the left is 19 drawer watchmakers bench from the 1950's. It is full of my small hobby tools. I was fortunate to live near a business that acquired and liquidated tools from watchmaker estates
Directly ahead is a students drafting table that I cut down into a flat top. The door holds my shop apron and Optivisor.
To the right is my N scale layout on a HCD. It sits atop plastic stacking shelves.
- Very cool! Does the radio work? — Bongo
- Thanks! Radio works. It's modern with Bluetooth and a vintage look. I like to listen to audio books or OTR shows via internetarchive.org. — PagodaRacing
Everything on hold until I get my new tool and some new stuff for axles and wheels.
