Default Workshop

This is my workshop. It's set up in my basement and the wife hates it. My son and I spend hours at a time down there put models together, repairing, just trying to pass the time.

Could use a little organizing though.

I'm building my first plane in the bedroom. My wife has been really cool about it. My buddy brought up a whole made router table up from my basement that measures 30" x 50". I'm handicap that is why he did it instead of me. Since there is a hole in the middle of it for the router I put a 34" X 40" pice or furniture grade ply on top. It is really flat and makes a great building board. The table is right in front of a large bay window so I get alot of good light and my fav. cat lays in the window wile I work and keeps me company. Thats really great that your son has someone to enjoy building modles with. My father got me into it when I was a little guy. I even have some stuff we built togethr. I'm 38 now and still building.

This is my workshop......and the wife hates it.
Why? She ought to be damn happy you're at home, spending time with your son and doing something constructive.

Nice looking shop, wish I had that much room.

Bratpack, Mark

It's a nice size room.... I like how you hung some of your models great idea. Do you hit your head on them?

You could use a few shelving units though and i can still see the floor....look at all that quality floor space your not using

Default RE: Workshop

Thanks Red,
It is a nice size room but I wish it was a bit bigger. I don't hit my head on any of those planes and I am 5' 10" tall. I do need more shelves in there for the other planes I will be building
Why would your wife hate that??
I agree with khodges, you are doing something constructive with your son and that is something you can treasure forever. My boy spends time with me in there going over the planes(the NexStar is his) and my wife thinks it is great and it keeps me out of her hair!!!!
I still have more unused space in the basement if I need it too.
