Chris Posted March 4, 2006 Posted March 4, 2006 I'm curious to see what your pyro labs look like. I just moved into a new lab 'facility' and I decided to post a few pics. I use this litle shed mainly to store and mix chemicals. http://www.pyrosource.com/pics/lab/3.jpghttp://www.pyrosource.com/pics/lab/4.jpghttp://www.pyrosource.com/pics/lab/2.jpghttp://www.pyrosource.com/pics/lab/1.jpg Go ahead post pictures of your labs.
_DB_ Posted March 10, 2006 Posted March 10, 2006 I would post pictures of my lab but I doubt people would want to see pictures of my bedroom and kitchen..... People who actually have a whole building/room devoted to this hobby are quite lucky!
Star_Roller Posted March 10, 2006 Posted March 10, 2006 I only have my garage my friends garage and his computer room and his drying room.
aquaman Posted March 10, 2006 Posted March 10, 2006 Chris you're soo lucky! I wish I had a shed in my backyard. And it also looks like you live in a wooded area which is a pyro's dream land (no cops). BTW my lab is also called my garage.
Rooster Posted March 10, 2006 Posted March 10, 2006 That is red gum in that sigma bottle, right? How did I know? I have two of those myself... Seems like the only way to get it if you're not in the US and don't wanna import.
PyroJoe Posted March 10, 2006 Posted March 10, 2006 Here is my lab!! http://www.apcforum.net/files/pyrojoe_shop1.jpg Yeah I wish It was all mine, actually only a small corner is dedicated to my pyro stuff.Inside View (note my beautiful motorcycle, covered in mud): http://www.apcforum.net/files/pyrojoe_shop2.jpg And here is my VERY organized, safe pyro enviroment! Haha, yeah I havn't done pyro for quite some time and everything is just kinda sitting there.. http://www.apcforum.net/files/pyrojoe_shop3.jpg Tomorow me and my dad are going to clean our whole shop though. Its going to be a very fun time... Actually i am kind of excited because im going to build shelves on my pyro desk for more space. Then my dad is gonna take me down to firefox and Im gonna load up on chemicals!! yay!! BTW sorry for pic quality, i took them with my phone.

Seems like the only way to get it if you're not in the US and don't wanna import.Heh, you are absolutely right. I had to track it down for a while, and the shippign turned out to be quite expensive. Fortunately enough, there is going to open a pyrotechnics 'super'store in Norway sometime soon. Have you heard about it? I received the price list from mr. Risagner, the store keeper, and the prices are very good. Anyway, enough offtopic. PyroJoe, there is quite much potential to turn it into a very nice lab. Keep us updated!
Pyrohawk Posted March 11, 2006 Posted March 11, 2006 My Lab is very boring.... My room: I weigh and mix here, also assemble shells and mines. It looks like a mad scientists room most the time.....My barn: I share this much like Pyrojoe. I do all the dangerous and or messy stuff here. Ball milling, star rolling, and making rockets/fountains.
_Po_ Posted March 12, 2006 Posted March 12, 2006 My lab used to be inside in a little room that was like a closed off veranda that they put there for some reason. Our house is over 100 years old...Well half of it anyway, it was moved into town and joined to another house. Kind of weird but you don't notice it. Anyway, my mother bought a business and she needed that room to run it. So I got kicked out. All my stuff is in a room that you can't get into because it's so full of shit. Dad had to give up his "shed" which was actually the laundry, as well. So both our stuff is in this room. Not to mention that room happened to be our lounge room which we're moving to a different room so all the furniture and stuff is in a small awkward room until we get around to moving it again. Okay, my lab now. We're building a new lab for me. It's about 7.5x3.5m I think. It's been in the making for about a year now. All we really need to do is concrete the floor and put walls up and I can move in. But that seems to be going pretty slowly. When we finish it (expected date: 2013) I'll take some photos for you if I'm still living here when I'm 24.
kiknet Posted March 16, 2006 Posted March 16, 2006 Currently my lab is a flat desk with some drawers and shelfs to the side which hold sulfur and acetone . i would have glassware to make to make it look homely but stupid order is a week late.
PyroJoe Posted March 26, 2006 Posted March 26, 2006 I know all of you have been dieing to see my new lab! Wallah! http://www.apcforum.net/files/Image006.jpg My dad and I built shelves on the back of my desk. So much more space! I love it. We also added a little paper station in the center, so I can roll shell casings and tubes easily. http://www.apcforum.net/files/Image003.jpg Other table that was so cluttered before now has my hydraulic press and 2 heat lamps to dry stuff.

Caleb51 Posted April 1, 2006 Posted April 1, 2006 I use a corner of my familys laundry room/workshop. My dad gets the majority of space for his train layout (Model trains) but I convinced him to give me a table and cabinet. Yay. If anyone wants pics, just ask.
kwstag Posted April 1, 2006 Posted April 1, 2006 Not to brag, but my lab is bigger I won't post pics just yet because it's very messy and much is packed up until 4th / Summer etc. Very very nice though to all from what I have seen.
s25 Posted April 2, 2006 Posted April 2, 2006 Well i have moved house and though i am still in suburbia i am getting a small shet for my lab it should be great.I am gonna paint the interior white and have everything super neat Thanks for the ideas guys and i will be sure to post pics when mine is ready!
Swany Posted April 2, 2006 Posted April 2, 2006 I have a two story building appx. 50m from my house devoted to pyrotechnical and chemistry enterprises. I only actively use the top floor, though the bottom could be utulized as storage, should I become an industrial scale buyer
aquaman Posted April 2, 2006 Posted April 2, 2006 What... you have a whole two story building for pyrtechnics? Swany by far, I think wins the best lab here. But seriuosly a whole building?
BigBang Posted April 3, 2006 Posted April 3, 2006 So that's what that building is Swany. I was kind of wondering what it was for. Bravo my friend, bravo!
s25 Posted April 12, 2006 Posted April 12, 2006 Swany could we have some pics?I would certainly love to see that
Swany Posted April 12, 2006 Posted April 12, 2006 When I get around to it. I guess I will be out there this weekend, unless if I go on a spurious weekend endeavor. It should really really be cleaned first. It should be clean all of the time, however, I am not very inherently clean.
Givat Posted April 19, 2006 Posted April 19, 2006 ohh, after alot of nagging and working to get the money - I finally got myself a real Pyro shed.I haven't moved all my stuff in yet but here are some pictures: http://img57.imageshack.us/img57/7568/pyroshedoutside4jo.th.jpghttp://img57.imageshack.us/img57/4729/pyroshedinside18st.th.jpghttp://img110.imageshack.us/img110/3350/pyroshedinside25xw.th.jpghttp://img110.imageshack.us/img110/867/pyroshedshelf8ux.th.jpghttp://img57.imageshack.us/img57/8788/pyroshedrightwall8vi.th.jpghttp://img110.imageshack.us/img110/2280/pyroshedwall24kb.th.jpg
Chris Posted April 19, 2006 Author Posted April 19, 2006 Thats really cool! Did you buy the shed as a package or was it ready assembled? Also, did you make the concrete base yourself?
Givat Posted April 19, 2006 Posted April 19, 2006 Me and my father did the concrete - My advice if any one going to make such big concrete base - buy concrete mixer.I mixed the concrete by hand in a wheelbarrow and it was exhausting like anything I did before. And the shed came in 3 boxes, it took about 3 hours to build it.
