Re: What do you have in your "Mancave"
These are traditional stained glass panels we made in 1997. We had a stand the festival of speed that year. These were the leftovers. Too busy these days fixing church windows. Might be tempted to do something mini based. Any ideas?
The light box is homemade with eBay sticker. Cheap and cheerful.

I don't have a mancave really, but this stays in my living room

Re: What do you have in your "Mancave"
Since I moved houses last year, I have used the holidays to change the attic in a kind of cave, might be of your interest too (certainly my kids like it 
). Still need to sort some parts and finish the final touch.

Re: What do you have in your "Mancave"
Not quite a proper man cave yet but I'll get there eventually, the big Maser sign came from a dealer in Hinkley....
The plan is to get the garage boarded out completely and wire it up to the house.

Re: What do you have in your "Mancave"
Not as 5* as some of the other man caves, mine is more of a 'gearbox graveyard' style. Organised and nice and oily. May need to extend in the future to satisfy the disease of 40+ years of mini gearboxes and parts. The 'oily' feature helps as the wife refuses to step foot in the garage.

These were made by a guy in Aus a few (possibly 10) years ago.
Good tanks.

Re: What do you have in your "Mancave"
The guy out here was Paul Gulson, he made them for a few years and then sold the equipment to make them. Apparently he made over 700 of them
There’s been no sight of new tanks since pre 2016 after he sold the equipment.
He also used to make Cooper S style air filter boxes from the same HPDE

Re: What do you have in your "Mancave"
I have always been tempted by a phone box, but if I got one, I'd want it planted outside & am reluctant the advertise the location of the Batcave.
