Hi there... I was wondering how many of you have a specific workstation (desk, table, etc.) devoted to our great hobby. I have attached 2 photos of my setup. On my desk or within easy reach are the following items: LIGHTING (lots of lighting - window, room light, small desk lamp and a large magnifying hobby lamp), foam pad for desktop, small containers/boxes for "keepers" before sorting/storing, a 12X magnifier, tongs, brass coin cleaning brush, 100% acetone and soaking containers, Q-tips, hand sanitizer and "Wet Ones" for hand cleaning, roll trays, cup with water for rinsing, drying pad, small tub for checked coins, and most importantly, a comfy desk chair. Also nearby is my library of coin guidebooks and reference books.

This setup works well for me, but if anyone has any other setup ideas or additional items to use please share. I'm always looking to improve... I hope this may help some CRH-ing beginners also.

You are fortunate to have such a time saving arrangement.

I'm glad to see your space.

Oh this is gonna be embarrassing give me 1 sec.

My desk is complete with:

Fresh baked cookie
American Flag
Allergy pills
Acetone in a Tupperware
And a while lot of stuff

Also I've had my room painted as a star wars mural since I was 4, I'm not so into it anymore, but I'm not allowed to paint over it. Doesn't make it any easier to get girls over either

@grapecollects, somehow I suspect that your set up is typical of most of us.

Nah, thankfully not joecoin, I'm 17. As for what I call it, I think (barely) organized chaos is the best choice of words.

Nice set ups! Too bad they'd never work for the volume I do, $1k-$3k in a couple hours time, I need plenty of floor space.
When I listen to LED ZEPPELIN...so do my neighbors...
Roll hunting since '77
Dirt fishing since '72

When I'm looking through rolls at home, I do it on my bed. I'm forced to clean up every night or I don't go to sleep!
