I dunno if this has been done before, but i was thinking how much of a tip my work shop looks, as i usualy can't work in such mess. I took a pic before i decided to tidy the bugger up. Any one else want to post their man cave?

Dude

Your workshop is positively spotless. I have 2 small boys, and tools etc move around all by themselves in my garage. Weird!!!

I see you have several submarines? I would like to offer some information. A friends Grandfather was a submarine engineer, the US.Navy published a book called United States Submarines, by the NAVAL SUBMARINE LEAGUE. I was fortunate to have this Book and two others given to me.He has notes on many of the pages about work he has done on these different classes. If that Information or any details are needed by you sub guys I am happy to share the information. Mr.Tracy joined the Navy in 1938, he left in 1970 and spent his remaining years as a fish and wildlife officer. The book is very detailed and is a complete history of the Silent Service..

Got to laugh, if that is a mess....you ought to see my kitchen and utility room...

On the subject of subs, a friends late father worked for the MOD and was the guy who invented the guidance systems for torpedoes. She told me that his work was shrouded in secrecy, and there were always 'people' coming to visit him. In the days before PC's all drawings were done by hand, so when he took designs to the Admiralty he would deliver them by hand. However, in case anything got lost or stolen on route he always had to leave a part of a drawing incomplete and finish it from memory when he got there.

He also scratch built model subs when he retired, and even went so far as to have meat hanging in the galley fridge, even though no one would ever see it when the sub was sealed up?

She also told me that when he died they had to clear the house out, and found tons of 'top secret' documents that they promptly burned without ever reading them...
