Hobby Room

This is my new hobby room and is ten feet away from where I can start shooting. My gun room is my bedroom and is upstairs. I have an office that doubles as a hobby room but I got tire running upstairs for ammo, a target or stapler or one of the million other things I would forget.

It’s a 72” Snap-On and I had to sell a kidney to afford it.

This is the best feature of it. I can store the majority of rifles upstairs and keep a dozen of the most frequent shooters in it and lock it.

Looks great! and I might add; that large loop still amazes me.
Very nice hobby room. Yes, those Snap-Ons are very expensive, but what a great idea!

Great makeover. That is a very functional room and being so close to your shooting area is a home run. Super job/idea Gene.

It’s a shortened pew that I bought from a neighbor. I need a place to put packages when come inside and where I can take my shoes off or put them on.

Thanks. I even have tool chests as nightstands and one is a tv platform.

I installed track lighting in the hobby room. Over the tool box it’s CRI of 90 and 3000K. The lights aimed at the walls are CRI of 85 and burn at 2700K down to 2200K at 10% brightness.

Day above and night below. I live in a rural area 300 yards away from the main road so I don’t put curtains up except in the bedroom.

I think it makes good artificial light for photography even though I prefer natural light. This was taken at night with only track lighting.

You better hope you get lots of trick or treaters or you will have quite a bit of candy left over. Or maybe that was the plan.
I always buy some Halloween candy even though I haven't had a trick or treater for 37 years.
