Nice shop!! I especially like the stool that looks like a motorcycle saddle. My workspace consists of a folding table in a corner of the basement with a car stand and a few hand tools/spare parts for now. Just moved into a new house and haven't had time to get my garage in order yet, but here's to hoping!

I use my shop for working on engines....rarely will you ever see any of my cars in the shop unless I happen to be working on them...... I do also have an upstairs in my shop, so I store some of them up there, some of them are in the metal cabinets, others are at my business partners, or tucked away out of camera sight.......... The last thing I want is all my cars scattered all over my workshop.....so unless I am specifically working on a car it will be put away , out of my workspace......

Great idea for a thread. I am about to create a vid for my channel going over my "workshop"/
With that...we are currently designing our new house getting built.. While the wife wants big kitchen, open floor plan, jack and jill bathrooms, pool, etc....I only care about <u>ONE </u>thing...and that is my work shop in the garage. I don't want to throw numbers, but let's say I am sinking a little extra for my own little space in our new garage.
For now, below is what I have. I've not put much into it since we are moving....but it works for now. ;-)
<u>NOTE</u>: I took this picture just as soon as I read this post. It is usually much more clean and organized, but this is it's "typical state".
I think after <u>only four months </u>in to "the hobby", I've already compiled quite a bit. I can't effing WAIT to move into our new house. A year from now I will post my new work shop, andI assureyou it will beSICK. ;-)

I could to go and take a photo of my workplace, I've worked on my Rc's there a few times, does that count? Well might not because it's not specifically Rc related...

So in short is not a Rc related workshop, it's a work related work shop with 2rc's staged in the middle?

aaaaaaaahhhh! i wish i had a workshop like that with a bunch of tools, i just busted my force .28 (but it was already boogered up) I tried removing the sleeve. i tried tapping, putting a zip tie in it to push the sleeve up, putting a lollipop stick through, heating it, talking nice to it, nothing, then i tapped it with a small plastic screwdriver while it was heated while i was turning the crank and it cracked the case.. aahhhh. I'm not paying $70 for a tool that i will use once on an engine that is only worth $100 new.

Had the same problem once, but I used a more simple solution..... On a OS 0.12
I found a dynabolt that was very close to the sleeve bore, chucked it in the freezer, then baked the crank case.
Pulled the crank case out with a teatowl, and quickly put the dynabolt into the sleeve and tensioned it up... Would u belvedere the sleeve pulled out with no resistance.... Worked a treat... Cheapest tool ever

Nice, brenthampton79. Do you and supertib actually have garages to park cars in as well, or do you shove the cars outside and turn the garage into a permanent shop?

Does anyone have CAD that they can use and use accurate dimensions? I'm looking for a design for a small work bench. Something I can put my trucks on to work on them. My idea is a bench with the dimensions of 4'-0" long, 2'-6" deep, by 3'-6"-4'-0" high to the table top. Im thinking about a 1" tall lip around the outside top of the table top to prevent things from rolling off. And a 6" high "backstop". I'd also like to throw 2 or 3 drawers in as well. not too big of drawers. But i was thinking 4"x4"'s for legs?

Took some pics when building my new workshop last year from the start of the project. And if i am allowed to brag a bit; i love the solution i came up with with my lathe 











I have made the vice myself, this was a school project when i was 17. It has never let me down,
and can take whatever i throw at it

My center benches are on locking casters, so I can move them out of the way to pull 2 cars in if needed...... I also have a parking pad right behind the garage for 2 cars......
