Yup, happy & content when I'm at my workbench
Thanks guys the table sure is made of 100% faux-cherry-compressed wood 
. @Uwek I do have some particle board to cut & splice and my self healing mat is in some boxes not sure which one though need to look for it, I do cover my work area with the instruction sheet, probably not a good practice but it is what I do. Thanks @Jack Sparrow it is neat its what I'm leaning to do next due to me being a bit wary of me doing the rigging on the Torborg and would like to get my feet wet with planking a bit more . I also got some Cottage industries Subs too but they are resin (Hunley, C.S.S. David, Alligator, and the 1800 Nautilus) thinking of doing the Nautilus after the wooden sub since it has a sail with simple rigging.

...then, you become a proud member of the GCMO (Green Cutting Mat Owners) group, and they (the group), will be happier than your table.

Hi Everyone
Wow A lot of these shipyards are brilliant only wish I had that kind of space to get properly organised with Tooling etc..
Well here's my Humble Shipyard not much I know but adequate to get the job done, maybe some day I will be able to fully open up the folding table.
All the best

beautiful ships there. Just shows that it is the skill of the builder and not the size of the shop that makes the difference.Hi Everyone

Hello folks
It's been long time since I posted about my ship modeling of the Saint Phillipe 1693 POF journey. All this time I has been snowed with lots of work and also waiting to move in another location and start building my first proper shipyard.
Here are some pictures of my small shipyard which is still not a permanent solution as I will be relocating soon, hopefully to something permanent this time.
As you can see my work is done on two work benches made from a solid 4cm thick birch worktop. The one workbench I use for the ship construction and the other one is for general modeling work. On the workbench I have the machines I use most often; the Proxxon/Emco Unimat milling machine (this is an upgraded small milling machine I have modified), the Byrnes table saw, the Proxxon TBH bench drill and the Proxxon PD 250/E metal lathe.
For keeping my shipyard clean from dust (and my partner happy) I have made an acrylic foldable protector which is designed to help reducing the transmission of dust to the surrounding areas of the machine which i use each time.
In the corner of the room I also have a storage shelf unit where i keep the rest of my electric Proxxon tools (Proxxon DH 40 thicknesser, Proxxon AH 80 surface planer, Proxxon GS 80 mitre saw and the Proxxon MF 70 milling machine. I have also a wooden tool chest for the small engineering tools.
Also, I have a dedicated wooden shelf for storing my timber for the ship modeling; it includes mostly pear wood species as well as other exotic hardwood and boxwood for carving. On the top of the shelf I have a small wooden organizer for my collection of the mini hand planes (this is something for a future dedicated post!).
