Tuning Where do you work on your airguns?

[SpiralGroove]

Contrary to what it looks like ........ generally, I know where most thing are .
About every 6 month, I try to put everything back in it's rightful spot.

3/4 of the 2 car garage is my shop. Lathe / Mill etc along one side, work Bench at back wall from roll up, misc Shelves, Center Island holding more tools, Machines etc .. Cluttered YES, but a very efficient work space none the less

I have a airgun shed that's 18x16. I really need to build some cabinets to store stuff. The work bench is pretty cluttered but I have my black powder setup for my cap and ball pistol so that adds to the clutter.

30x40 shop, 1/2 bath, wood boiler outside, 100,000 btu heater using hot water from the boiler, we do park the cars inside in the winter, it becomes the greenhouse for SWMBO in March.

Sometimes my work areas look like yours and sometimes they look more like dizzums'. When I get overwhelmed or frustrated with a project, I organize. It's a good break and reset.

I’ve been accumulating tools and spring sets since last year. I think I have 16 sets to start installing if I could only stop shooting. Went through a dozen tins in last two weeks, great weather. I’ve changed this room around a few times. I have 2 work areas, 3 with the vice.

‘I like the drawers. I do have a really nice old drill press coming in. And I would bet just a matter of time before I score a lathe.

Some tools.

This vice is second to none. Very flexible and rigid.

When I go up a floor to my range I can safely transport 8-10 with no damage. Easy on the knees. Up to 1000 lb.

Cleaning and spring sets to be installed.

I also work in my shop, I’ve got targets on the go. And more drawers.

I have a cut off saw to right same height as bench and this is on other side, messy. More drawers. Rest off shop is write off.

This shop is a write off, thanks to my new hobby.
Have to keep gun room A1 or get evicted. Crow

Hey Crowski,
I want to come over to use your tools and shoot the airguns.
Too much good stuff for one person, plus the shop needs to have more of my "broken-in" look.

Well, living out here in the high desert of Southern California, my workplace is out in the fresh air under our gazebo. Ahhh . . . the good life. Orv.

An outbuilding is where my shop is. This is the machine section. My vintage machines are top condition. I keep it tempered through the winter

 

[Hangtown-Shooter]

I built a custom work bench years ago but I am not necessarily very artistic so all I have to show is these silly AR500 egg-shaped knock over targets

Unfortunately my shop area was taken over by this

Here's my space for tinkering on my airguns, where do you do your tinkering? Post your shop pictures.

No pics handy, but I have a gas heated 48' x 48' garage with a loft. 20' workbench at the far end. I have a small lathe and mill, bead blasting cabinet, Baldor buffers, paint booth, and a well stocked fridge. In addition to working on my guns, I have a couple of classic cars out there I tinker with as well as my R/C planes. There's a 2 lane 15 yard range up in the loft for winter practice. A good general purpose man cave.

 

[Mycapt65]

Heated and cooled. Most big projects I do outside in this beautiful tropical weather. View attachment 435812View attachment 435814View attachment 435816View attachment 435817

There is no way I see real machining getting done in that operating room.. you could eat off those machines. One 4140 tap job and it’s coolant and oil everywhere. I’ve got barrels of metal shavings ..Thenvagain it’s not just a air rifle shop

 

[SpiralGroove]

Is that a shaper?

Yes ...........
However, the real question is where did KWK get all those beautiful, vintage tools - Likely from the 1940's/50's?
Wow, you could make anything you wanted.

Hopefully, your shooting range hasn't been taken over too ...... Nice Table.

Yep. It looks like my sons workshop. He has a huge workbench with the 1000 coat finish. (Bowling alley floor) If a speck of dust falls on it, he blows it off. My 7 year old grandson (his son) looked in my workshop, then turned and shouted, “Grandpa your workshop is a MESS”!

I’m afraid my son is a terrible influence on my grandson.
