The Perfect Man Cave

Just recently with a very good friend of mine. I think that the man cave is essentially a simplistic, escape without too much frilly stuff. An alcohol fridge, a small bar, perhaps a pool table if it presents too much space invasion in the family home. But more so a place where I can tinker with petrol driven devices, build computers, without it impacting on the time I spend with loved ones. Too many men I think, are too elaborate with the whole decking out the family home based upon sports, and essentially the mans passions that they forget that their family should also be a passion. So give me just a small little area for some tools, a couple of work benches, in a shed, and save the main abode for celebrating all that is my family, their achievements, and ours of course :)- Posted from rhpmobile

For me, it's a Cabo 44 cruising the edge of Ribbon Reefs in search of giant black marlin. :-) Essential ingredients are warm sunshine, cool drinks, good food, screaming reels and big fish. The only rule is you don't apply your own sub cream lol DG

Be a garage big enough to fit the extensive collection of motorbikes I will own. It would be pristinely clean, with all my tools neatly arranged and a decent stereo. All walls would be covered in a tasteful collection of graffiti work and a choice piece by rhp's resident artist paintme. And there would be somewhere for Inspirit to casually lounge. I don't care about the alcohol, I'll stop by sirlurkalots for a beverage if I need one :)

he spent 15K converting the double garage (when we had a 42 square house with 2 giant rumpus rooms) into his man cave. It had a gorgeous timber bar with lead lighting, pool table and a projector connected to a marantz sound system and foxtel. I shit you not. After six months I forgot what he looked like. But he was popular with his mates.

My house / Home is a ManCave . Sharing the house with my Teenage Son means it was inevitable . It's a bold expression of who we are . But it's also clean and tidy ! A modern , eccentric twist. We love the Mod Cons . Minimal but not to extremes. Allowing individual & unique items to have the spotlight . Warm & inviting ... GG♒- Posted from rhpmobile

Has a large sign proclaiming my MAN WHORE status, along with a large rotating circular bed and a belt with notches on it hanging from the wall. :-P

In the annex, my bigger power tools all set up on the bench there, and my building board all set up for my next project.Down the back there of the main cave, my keys and guitars all set up and ready to go for when I feel like making noise. Along that wall, the stereo, my old vinyl LPs and CD collection. On the other wall, a couple of desks set up with my hobby tools, paints and airbrush, next to that, my collection of model kits. Towards the front, a couple of glass display cases to show my finished works.Next to them, the most comfortable couch in the world, for when I just want to chill and escape from the world.

No.........not a man cave for me, just a shed.Full of tools and benches and cars 50's sedan, 70's panel van, early Honda sports cars, early 30's Dodge pick-up.........the overflow is outside.Of course the fridge and tv to sooth the savage beast in times of frustration is in there too.I work for myself, so it's just a shed for work..............nothing more.I do have a music room with all my guitars for when I want to relax if you want to call that my man cave.

I had a dream once that I had built a slightly sunken "bunker", maybe 5m x 5m, with a turf roof over the whole thing - basically a modern version of Bilbo Baggins' house :) the temperature stayed constant (it's hot in perth) and it had reasonable sound proofing so loud music wasn't a problem.There was a guitar rack, an electronic drum machine, desk with computer/27inch monitor/active monitors (speakers) in one corner, a couch, beanbags and a 47inch TV with surround sound :)I woke up when I realised how much insurance would cost :PMy other man-shed fantasy is instead of having a living room (or formal lounge or whatever) attached at the back of the house I instead had a studio style setup - you'd be surprised how much fun you can have at a party held in a house with a room where it's OK if paint drips on the floor :)

Gosh been a long time since I have listened to a good ol black LP record. I see them around in vintage shops and have seen just recently a very cool handbag made out of them in a vintage shop at West End.LP Records are very very cool - A man cave defiantly should have them. FOXY

Oh man, I need more than a cave, I need the shed too. The cave is full of LP records, some worth thousands of dollars each, plus a lifetime collection of cool rock and roll shit acquired from all the people we've hung out with and shared good times. Soon to have an arcade machine, jukebox (ipod internals though for our favourite 1000 albums!), and a nice black pool table and bar. Recently moved in here so it's still a work in progress. All the walls are literally COVERED with cool stuff. Well, we think they are cool anyway :) Oh, and then there are a bunch of old vintage amplifiers, guitars.... too much stuff!The man shed is a good 9m x 9m, which is chock-a-block full machines, tools, spray booth, and bits and pieces (CNC says hell yeah, with enough space left in the corner for a laser cutter coming soon!) with a double power point every 1.5m, plus three phase for the hell of it! Tens of thousands of dollars worth of beautiful exotic timbers from all around the world, just waiting to be crafted into something cool. But, Im mostly excited about the new car garage. Want to get my hands dirty on some 60's muscle!

Im not "allowed" to buy any more LP's until we hit the USA again in May. :( The missus forgot to mention CD's in that ban, so she's in for a shock next week when a few boxes arrive ;)My most prized LP, is a bootleg that was purchased by a (nearly) household name guitar legend as a teenager. It was his first album purchase, and he pooled his pocket money with another guy that went on to rock fame because neither could afford it on their own. He then proceeded to cover the plain white cover with some hand drawn artwork. It was gifted to me after some work I did for the estate, along with some equally cool rare stuff (only test pressing of a 12" EP that was never released, original photo negatives from the bands first photo shoot, etc).International Record Store Day should be EVERY day. Quoting 'twowithnolimits' Hope you enjoyed International Record Store Day:-)
