Comic Closet Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 Comic book people seem to have cats and quite a few play guitar. I have dogs & I play drums. Maybe I'm weird. Drums for me too, no pets at this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drums for me too, no pets at this time. Tuba/Piano, but I'm retired from playing. Miniature Schnauzer (Leemarvin), Cavalier KC Spaniel (Kirby).....not a shred of decency between the two of them.

Readymade Breakup Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 (edited) I play bass...I have two cats and...a hermit crab. Looks like we have the starting of a band here. Nobody's doing a tuba bass drum trio. We'll be huge! Can any of you sing? Edited August 6, 2015 by Gay Elvis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mschmidt Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 Question: I got tired of looking at all the short boxes in my office and decided to make a comic cabinet / drawers. I've stained and varnished the outside but was thinking about finishing the inside as well. I stopped short because I was wondering that if I didn't keep the inside raw wood it would have an impact to the comics long term, maybe off gassing of the stain? Maybe I am overthinking this. All of the comics are in Mylar bags if that makes a difference. Thoughts? If you're looking to minimize off-gassing, make sure you used a water-based sealer (instead of an oil-based one). It's fun to build your own comic-book cabinets - this is a Sketchup drawing of the ones I'm currently working on: What's going to be slightly less fun is building the 75 drawers that I need for this setup :: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wombat Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 Did a recent land / room grab and acquired another room for my comics, without relinquishing my old space! Here is a tour of the new space: Display wall (not sure if IKEA still makes this anymore but it is perfect - forgot the name too!) Nice and clean, I like! Does anyone know what stands are being used to hold up the slabs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

batman_fan Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 Anyone ever see that show hoarders? Starting to get it organized a bit. I didn't really want to spend a ton of money but wanted stuff up off the floor (my stuff is in the basement). And I wanted to be able to organize it. I will post an all done picture in about 10 years when I have it done. 1950's war comics 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
