My model building workspace is a mess and I wanted to get organised. Not a New Years resolution though! :) Anyways, the stuff I checked out online are cost prohibitive to buy and import to here. I decided to build some myself. Attempts to use power tools / hand tools to cut and size 5.5 mm and 3 mm MDF proved to be time consuming. I then decided to give laser cutting a try. I spent a few days (more if you add the time it to took me to learn illustrator!) creating the drawings and headed out to a DIY centre that rents the laser cutter / engraver by the hour. After 3 hours of cutting, this is the result. I am yet to glue them and finish them. But, so far I am happy with the results. I have so far drawn 3 modules, 1 a 6 drawer module, another a 3 drawer module and corner module. The straight modules are 30 cms wide, 15 cms high and 15 cms deep. Whereas the corner module is more like 30 cms by 30 cms. I plan to create a few more drawings for paint racks and tool cribs. It may be a another 3 weeks or so before I can go back to the laser cutter cause the drawings take time to create.
