Before I get to the 1452, some info regarding the work area:
I've done enough projects to know that having an organized and dedicated work space is a "must" if one expects to have successful results, and thankfully the new house came with an unfinished basement that absolutely screamed "Basement Workshop" to me when we first viewed it!

Very early-on I decided that this would be the perfect space to work on the 1452! However, I had to make some changes....
The first thing I would need would be walls (naturally):
 |
| Center wall, under construction |
 |
| Center wall, installed |
 |
| Center wall, installed |
 |
| North and West exterior walls |
|

And insulation (on the exterior walls) and outlets:

| West wall insulation |
Since this space is intended to be used as a workshop, I chose to use plywood instead of sheetrock for the walls, as it is much lees susceptible to damage:
 |
| Plywood walls |
Toss-in some white ceiling paint (I had several gallons left-over from painting the ceilings in the house)....
 |
| Painted walls |
Some used kitchen cabinets I purchased off Craigslist....
 |
| Shop 1 |
And some pegboard and tools, some lights, an exhaust fan and some shelves, and....Voila! A fairly nice space in which to work on the Rock-Ola!
 |
| Shop 2 |
Which was patiently sitting underneath the stairs:

Waiting, waiting....
