I have; however, I started this one since I'm not a reloader yet.
Since I've been an apartment-dweller for my entire adult life, my firearm cleaning/maintenance experiences have taken place upon kitchen countertops, kitchen tables, and on the floor. It's sucked.
Now that the Mrs. and I finally have a house with a garage, I'm attempting to move out of the "pile o' shit"/in-the-floor storage-style, and trying to not be forced to perform all my work on the floor.
Since I'm eventually going to have a separate workbench for general stuff, my initial bout of curiosity was if anyone had a dedicated workbench for gun-related chores.
Basically, I'm trying to set up this particular area for strictly cleaning/maintaining and possibly building in the future.
On another note, I managed to find some adequate lighting for my arrangement at Wal*Mart for $14.00. I'll bust out a pic in a little while.

Massive, massive thanks to my buddy Fire_Medic for hooking a brother up with, what was for me, an extremely hard-to-find item.
I feel a bit like I'm putting the star on the tree, before I've even put up the tree, but, hell.
The crown jewel:

Wow, you don't **** around. Nicely done. I just had a T8 ballast go down last week![]()
My workshop looks like a disaster area after this winter. I had converted it to a ski/snowboard waxing station and it never recovered.
Thanks amigo. I have a bad tendency to sometimes overdo stuff. G-g-get yo' ass over to Wal*Mart. The 'Depot and Lowes didn't have anything as nice, with a pull-chain for the price.
Since I'm starting out from scratch, I figured I'd dedicate a bench to firearm maintenance, and do a separate area for typical workshop chores. Otherwise I'll descend down the slippery slope of expletive shouting, where the ______ is my screwdriver, sort of chicanery.
For example, I once had many hex keys. Now I have about two.
I've been seeing it more and more in a couple of threads around here. Considering it had a heavy coating of rust, and looked very unloved, it's surprisingly pretty damned nice.

I'd post a picture of my workbench at work but it pretty much looks like a tornado it most of the time.
Controlled chaos I guess.![]()
