@SniffBackBetter 5 месяцев назад

Not only is this a very space-efficient solution, but as you said it protects the paints from sunlight exposure and it also keeps the dropper bottles angled correctly so that paint doesn't sit in the nozzle. I'm glad that you mentioned that last point because I'd never considered it before, and the paint rack I recently bought has the dropped bottles angled upside down.

@HellstormWargaming 5 месяцев назад

that will be terrible for blocked nozzles full of pigment :(

Socks drying apology is totally unnecessary. When I see a hobbyist video with regular household stuff going on, I know I've come to the right place. It's a mark of authenticity!

@stg243381 Год назад

I did something similar, though I installed a bracket system that lets me adjust the size of the sections for the paints laterally. I also put cheap mousepads in the bottom to keep my paints from sliding. Bonus, they have sweet 40K designs on them for a little visual appeal.

@RowdiesFan1 Год назад

Congrats on the standing desk and new storage space! Always fun when you improve work areas and tidy up.

@thatFellowTraveler Год назад

Very nice. Regarding paint inventories, I actually created a Paint spreadsheet where I record all of the paints and models I own. If you use data validation to create a picklist of the details, adding in new paints is easy and it really helps to be able to tell that I don't need yet another pot of Blood Red.

@kevinturner6621 5 месяцев назад

I have done exactly this with a pair of Alex units and a 3m worktop as the desk. Left Alex has all paint organised at an angle just like this and Right Alex has all the brushes, air brush gubbins and a small tray with working paints in for the current project i can just pop out as needed. I used 25mm plastic angle for the Citadel paints (Amazon). I now have a cupboard full of expensive plywood racks I don't use.

@SCUBAguypnw Год назад

Thank you for the video. Gave me lots of ideas. Planning to setup my paint space in another couple of months. Will be a combination of paint, airbrushing and soldering. I am going to start producing some electronic initiative trackers once I also get some 3D printers. I really enjoy having a standing desk, hopefully you will enjoy yours as much as I enjoy mine.

@rayslover8526 Год назад

@lhiannan02 Год назад

I just ended up having a monitor stand with shelves to house basing materials, and accessories and a product called hex hive to hold all my non-kimera paints. The hex hive has been so good as it builds together like a hive and will stay 1 bottle deep regardless of how tall it gets. The only issue I have is the Kimeras don't fit in that, so sit on the monitor stand in front of the hex hive.

@os7272 Год назад

It seems that Ikea changed the railings, as there are some small stoppers now at the end of the railing casing that prevent the plastic housing the balls to further slide out.

@jazyi5010 Месяц назад

Nice job looks great , I know how messy things can get in the hobby . I got a craft trolley with 6 shallow plastic tray draws 3" deep and 3 deep plastic bin draws 5 1/2" deep . Its on wheels has a nice platform on top for bigger stuff , fits under my desk and it cost me £55 from hobbycraft. You could add draw dividers inside the draws if needed . This could be a cheaper option if your on a lower budget and the bigger bins are handy for tools ect .

@calebfranklin9004 Год назад

On the drawer slides, you can get full extension drawer slides. Those would be sturdier than the modified ones and you should just be able to swap them out.

@os7272 Год назад

I checked for full extension slides and they do not really fit the small drawers as they are designed to carry lots of weight (and therefore are thick) and are way too expensive

@calebfranklin9004 Год назад

@@os7272 That sucks, I would have thought most slides are the same width. They are more on the expensive side, but I can usually find a pack of them for not too bad of a price when I'm putting a new desk/table together.

I have one of these drawers and its basically been a place for all my "long items" like sewing rulers, drawing pads, and painting trays. But a couple drawers were just ephermera which I've already thought about unloading since that drawer rarely gets opened. Also, mine is white so I think I'm gunna cover the drawer fronts with peel and stick wallpaper because I'm bored with the white after 10 years.

@philbrad2006 Год назад

Been using thesme IKEA drawer in white for several years now, nice tip with the strips for containing the Citadel/Vallejo bottles. I've been using plastic gardening trays from Wilkinsons to segregate my paints, contrast/metallis/base/layer/airbrush across the drawers. Use the top drawer for hobby tool storage, agaiin use gardening/cutlery plastic trays to store the tools in so I can remove them completely from the drawer if I need to get to anything at the back of the drawer, top drawer is the perfect height for Tamiya thin cement bottles as well - I have a thin glue and a sprue-glue bottles. I have an IKEA computer desk with a 90 degree return the drawers sit under, had to remove the casters from the base to get it to fit under the desk.

Since I am not in a position to have drawers within reach of my work table, for me the best solution is still the paint carousel. It cost $50 but it can easily hold 100 or more paints. It is four levels tall and is about a foot in diameter. You can rotate it to get quick easy access to any of them.

@kanadaj3275 5 месяцев назад

I ended up doing a PaintPal Studio setup instead - it sits on your desk, buuut it includes drawers, elevated paint racks *and* multiple tiers so you can store a ton vertically. That said, 18ml dropper bottles are far superior to GW's jars, both for usability and storage space.

@marcna4582 Год назад

The only problem i see with this idea , give it 6 months or so and the bottoms of your draws will start to bow and sag with the weight of the paints as there only hard board .As they are not designed to take the weight . Also with your runners on the draws with the added wieght over time they will start to give where you have taken out the extra bearings .
