I'm pretty sure I win the prize for "Smallest Workshop," at least when I'm at work.

I work in the oilfied, and live in my 5th wheel for 20-60 days at a time. I got tired of not being able to work on projects while deployed, so I currently use my pretty much useless-to-me couch inside my living room slideout as a base for my workbench.




My chair is my igloo cooler:



Tools:



I do have enough room that I recently added a balsa dust filtration system lol... :


Here's the exterior of my workshop:


And the view out the window over my workbench:

Kudos for making due with the space you have. I know that I take my fly-tying stuff with me when I go camping, so I tie flys by the fire or at the cabbin. Do you get much time to build while your at the worksite? Seems like you could get a lot done in the off-hours.....

When I'm on a well site, I'm 'on' 24/7, so when there are problems, I don't get any time to do anything but deal with them... but other times, when it's all going good I get quite a bit of time.

I think there is a workshop correlation here!

Hmmm! I must be scatter brained then. I got projects scattered all over the place. But I'm slowly whittling them down. By the end of the year I should have most of my rebuilds, repairs, and enhancements finished.

If I never flew I would never have to fix them

I never finish one without starting another one (or two). I am just wrapping up an old Midwest Extra 300 (just have to paint the cowl), finishing up framing a Direction Connection F-20 Tigershark, and now staring to frame up an Ohio R/C Ultimate. I have to have at least a couple things going at once so if I get tired of sanding, or covering, I can do some stick-building. My Mr. Mulligan will be next :-)

Careful, I did just that. I have four builds on the tables right now and am just thrashing. I go into the garage and cant decide what needs doing next.

FYI - theres a Mulligan for sale on our club web site ( www.austinrc.org )

Thanks Edwin, but what is the fun of buying one already built? (no offence to any ARF enthusiasts, I have some too, but I much prefer to build!!!)

Understand, just thought I would throw that out just in case.
