    If you can see the floor and set anything larger than coffee cup down on a horizontal surface it is not really a man cave....

    Had to make it neat, I hate not being able to find stuff. I built the room in my basement. My friends complain because the ceiling is low, but I'm only 5'7" so it doesn't bother me. It's still not as neat as I'd like to see it, I'm waiting on lower cabinets as we speak.

    It's tough to be neat, when your creative.

    That's my story and I'm sticking to it.
    I'd post a pic but I can't find my camera. I know it's in the man cave somewhere.

    Week?? I haven't seen mine in years--she ran off with the butler. I'd show a photo of my man-cave, but as someone else said--I can't squeeze in there with something so big as a camera right now...

    It's not quite full, but there's a selection of it in there. Keeps it about 34 degrees too.

    I built the center line that divides the two sides of my garage on wheels. That way I can move things around to clean and to arange things as I need the space for different projects.

    I bought 25 bread carts from a surplace place for $100. They make a great mobil base for a storage cabinet.

    Y'all got some nice casting/reloading areas. I'd put a picture of mine up but the wife gets the idea that 'man cave' means the man can store stuff in there that the woman doesn't want to look at right at that particular moment in life. If she's rearranging, she puts it in there. I'm lucky if I can find my presses right now. I will soon enough, I have shooting to do so I must reload something in order to shoot it.

    Crabo: That's a very good set-up. Thinking outside of the box, so to speak.
    Good job.
