I was in Poland once and a neighbor of the home I was visiting invited us all over to see his "man cave." I leaped at the opportunity because I misinterpreted what a "man cave" was. I was relatively certain he was going to show us a vagina, but he didn't.

He showed us the remnants of the Artist Formerly Known as His Garage. Holy fuggin'-fugg! He put in a bar, and a couch, and stools, and chairs, and all kinds of ornaments and stupid schit. It appeared as though Oprah had morphed with Jean Claude Van Damme and menstruated all over the floor. It was awful. Just fuggin' awful. Holy fugg. It was bad.

If you are going to have a place that you would like to deem "your own" (which I would persuade you not to do because in my house it is ALL mine, and if I choose to schit in the middle of the living room floor I goddamm will because I make the payments) please make it a normal dwelling. A place where one can change oil, gunsmith, reload, skin a coyote, urinate, butcher a deer, etc. without having to change buildings.

These should be your goals.

And there is no need to exclude women. My wife knows if she wants to find me I'm either in the schitter, or in my garage. And while she isn't welcome in the schitter, she is welcome in the garage. Unless I'm thinking. But I have never met anybody that enjoys my company when I'm thinking so that would never happen.

Best of luck.

Yeah, I refer to my place as the cabin or my "lodge". A place where I can go set by the potbelly stove in Cold weather.

When I hear man cave, I think of those hippies in one of those bizarre drum circles! laugh

At this point I may as well tell this story.
Forty years ago, we went to see my brother-in-law's brother about a painting job.
He was about twenty years old, and lived in an upstairs apartment.
The kind with rickety wood stairs in the alley.

He had a worn out stuffed chair, with a brick under a broke leg, an old black, and white TV, a path from the chair, to the TV through the girlie magazines strewed about the floor.

An old fridge held a stick of butter, and a couple cans of cheap beer.

A real boars nest.

My whole damn house is my cave.

I do what I want where I want.

My 'dining room table' has drill marks and scorches from rebuilding tube amps, guitars and guns (and assorted other bric-a-brac).

I dig it...

Richard, that is classic.



Flave's man cave version 2.0 tutorial was also great.



As far as actual cave-like buildings go..

A local machinist/welder has a long steel building(maybe 50x150'). No window other than a big sliding door at one end and a man door that goes into a small office(which has door to the outside).

Basically no outside light if the big shop door isn't open.


Building is full of big(old lathes), racks of pipe and flat iron, projects, an old snow mobile(Artic Cat Cheetah?), a little forklift, welders, cuttin' torches and a fire proof area, big ass vice, long work counter with everything, more smaller vices, wrenches hanging on the wall.

Giant wood/coal 'heater'(custom of course), in the rear center.

Dark green insulation sprayed on the wall. Pretty much everything in the building is a dark color, very cave-like during winter.

I can't even walk in my garage. motorcycles, outboards, drums and fishing gear out the arse. Big metal table and old computer table for molding jig heads and sinkers and tying bluegill and crappie jigs. I don't need a fancy bunch of $hit I want a place I can work. It seems to be unorganized but I know where everything is. I don't work on the bikes much,,, they're made in Japan. grin

A big table a place to sit and make lures/reload and a BIG tool box is all you need. My area is not a mancave but you can tell a man dwells there. I do have a bathroom down there, I don't think the seat has been down in the last 10 years or so.

I can't be the only guy who enjoys having a house that's not a cave.... The best part of my day is walking in the door and smelling "my house". And thanks to my wife that smell is pleasant. Usually a candle or fresh cookies, fresh laundry, my wife's perfume or supper.

If I lived alone my house would smell like gasoline and Kroil. It'd be cool for about a week and I'd have to hire a housekeeper.

Yeah? Well my garage has an oil change pit.

Back when, it was a den. The man's room.
My grandfathers both had theirs.
My father's father had a fireplace with moose antlers over it.

Yeah. I had an uncle. Fours years older than me. He lived in a similar arrangement. It was an old Quonset but behind grandmas house. When oldest son was prolly in jr. High he was out there with him watching TV and looking at the latest copy of "Monster Boobs" magazine and noticed an abundance of brightly colored cockroaches. My old uncle tells him. "Hey you see any yellow ones, hit em with this blue spray paint! I think there building a resistance to yellow!"

If I were to photograph myself fugging a dog, I would leave the city limits as well.

Nah, you get comfortable with the smell of gasoline, Kroil, etc. My ex moved out 18 months ago and I haven't hired a housekeeper yet, and don't feel I need to.

Now, when my daughters came to visit for my birthday, they cleaned up the place like a white tornado, but that's their lookout, not mine. I like the smell of Kroil.
