Status: offline 		Here's my shop.....I call it the bomb shelter. It is a 22 x 24 room that sits under my 2 + car garage. I have to admit that it takes some getting used to the thought that there are cars sitting above me. Next I will put in a drop ceiling and then figure a better way to store the planes. Somehow they are starting to pile up!!

Status: offline 		Here's mine, in the basement, furnace room to be exact :
This has its pros and cons. In the winter, with the heater running, it is nice, warm and dry, only drawback is that the epoxy and glue cure
relatively quick. In the summertime, with the A/C running, it is pretty cool, sometimes so cool that the epoxy takes noticably longer to cure.
The main drawback, however, is that whenever I work with dope, or any kind of paint, the smell ( my wife says "stink" will be through the whole house, which is why by now, whenever I have to do this kind of work, I get "evicted" to the garage....



Building table, 4x8x3/4 MDF, with 4x8x3/4 plywood sheet on top, the whole thing rests on 2 sawhorses :


4x8 ft general purpose table, most of the time it is just a place where to put all the stuff, for which I am too lazy to put in it's proper place .


electrics corner, charging station

Bigchap,

Depends on where you live here in the states. In some areas you just named the median house price. In California you couldn't get a shack for that price

I use an "empty" room in the house. It's usually very busy looking so i don't like the thought of photographing it. My wife would use it as evidence at the trial anyway. But hopefully the judge will understand it's not my fault- it's an addiction


Next time anyone rags on you about the mess try this. Tap on your temple with your finger and say "If you think this room is bad, you should see what it's like up here"

(thanks to Kurt Vonnegutt for that )
