I found Donnie's build log while surfing recently, and it has inspired me to fulfill a lifelong dream of building ship models. I retired in 2006 from teaching systems analysis and design and programming classes at the university level, and when we lived in the San Francisco Bay Area I sailed as often as possible.
Please help me design my work station. I will take any and all suggestions to heart. I've been building furniture for almost 40 years now, so it will be possible to incorporate your design recommendations into the ideal work space for building wooden ship models--usually in the 1:100 scale range (hopefully around 36 inches from tip of bowsprit to tip of main boom). Bluenose and Flying Fish are in my build inventory (both from Model Shipways), but I won't start on them until I've built the work area.
Thanks in advance for your help.
