My basement shop is 30x30' and i have enough room to build 3 giants at one time (3 benches )
+ work area , and have storage area for other planes and items . I usualy have 3 or 4 planes
stored in this area plane all that are in progress .
I guess i'm fortunate to have that much room , but sometimes i wish i had more .
I also store as many planes as i can in my 6x12 trailer (usualy 3 planes plus all flight gear)

Cramped basement workshop.
Within are Topflite Bearcat & Corsair, Kyosho & Hangar9 ARF's

Hey Gunny11,

I sure could use that Giant Sweet-N-Low wing,

Hint Hint!!

Gee Gunny11, Does Great Plane and Horizon know about you [sm=lol.gif] ?????

Jerry

Here's part of mine. It's unusually clean in this shot too, Ha! I do some machine work and woodworking in other corners of it, but this is the main R/C model airplane area.

Here are some pictures of my shop which is detached from the house

Roger

Jpatter, you say the house is an old Queen Anne so I’m assuming the attic is a third level and likely accessed through either narrow and/or winding stairs? When the wife and I were first married we rented a house where I set up a workshop in an attic. That workshop was fine for the times but would be a no can do now with all the equipment I own now, not to mention taking my birds up and down two sets of stairs every time. If my assumptions about your house are correct, personally I would put that money into a garage shop.

However if your determined to use the attic space it sure would make for a sweet one. I suggest starting with paper and pencil and doing various layouts like kitchen designers do. Then go into the attic space with masking tape and put your favorite design on the floor to get a full-scale feel for what you want. Just remember once the walls go up it will feel much smaller.

Not much but my little hole in the basement. The airplane rack is missing two planes which are setting upstairs waiting for the weather and time to allow me to fly.

Hey Top Thumbs, It's only half a wing. if you need it, contact me.

Gunny

I know that great planes knows about me, I think I'm Tower Hobbies No. 1 customer. Ha ha ha!

Hey jgraham10

I see you are an old Falcon head like myself. Anyway, I have updated my garage with a new bench and some other items.

Check them out here. Haven't reduce the size of the pictures yet. The digital camera is one that came with my video. It doesn't have great resolution

i thought i'd throw mine in here as well. i actually have two shops because i live in two different countries (actually i work in one and play in the other).

We'll It's gonna be hard to tell who's got the best one so far! I'm going to take pics of my shop like i said i was as of 1-25-04 but had a lot of family issues over the holidays u know they are the most important than the hobby were in.

It ain't much, but it's home

Okay, Okay....now that I have drooled all through this thread, here is mine: (Just my little corner of the world)

Dr.Death,
Loved the Falcon series and the 4th one had the most potentional. You cannot see it real well but in the first photo is my Thrustmaster TQS and F22 joystick. Would love to see a new falcon flight sim. Nice pictures of your shop.
John

Thanks for the compliment John,

Still working on the shop. Just finshed the big workbench. Have a few more things to do (floor, sturdier bench for work table, new cutting table and additional light) then I will be finished for now.

On to Falcon, did you know that there are public domain add-ons for Falcon? A group got together after they received the source code and made many modifications. They are still working on the F4 add ons. Will look for the URL and send it to you. A couple of years ago I worked on testing the beta of the SP (SuperPak) modifications. Got WAY TO POLITICAL for me, since this was suppose to be for fun. Will post url later.

Lee

Dr.,
Do not worry about the URL. I was very much into F4 when that happend(source code release), in fact a friend of mine was one of the tilers for some of the add-ons. I have not flown falcon for a long time and I think that I have alot of th add-ons downloaded and such. I know that the group was limited for what they could make as Add-ons when Microprose/Ea sold the rights to Falcon to another company. There was some political deals made with that company and one of the groups that was heavily into the mod scene. I really enjoyed the game and to this date is one of the best flight sims ever made. Still remember flying Las Vegas in Falcon 3.0 and seeing the strip, cannot remeber if you had the ability to do this with falcon 4. Could only imagine what it would be like with today's tech and a new version of Falcon.

without a doubt your pegged inventory is 5 times the total of the LHS!!!!! Color me green.
But I understand it is a need not just wants. Slowly acquiring.

Actually 15 times of our LHS up here. See your only seeing 1/3 rd of the peg board.

need it, want it, must have it. I dont know?

Thanks,

gunny

gunny11
It might be interesting to see pics of everybody's LHS!
One corner of a small commerical fishing net repair shop.

Here my work shop same pic as last year plane is done. Super chipmunk flys great. WA State.

Been examining all of the shops here, looking at the good, the bad, and the ugly. I cleared out a corner of the garage, and put in some benches over the Christmas. Desparately needed some room out of the house to work on my GP Extra. Note the extra power panel in the wall. Nice and handy to have 12VDC available right there if I need it, or I want to bench test the motor in a motor stand.

I also included a shot of my wing sock I made for my NexStar wing. Made this and a sock for the fuse for about $50.

well i have my photos at

Here is a before and after picture of my workshop. I guess I'm the only one with a teak workbench, a wine rack and a piano... and no, my wife is NOT for sale and her sister is already married.





And some say I'm spoilt...

CrashMeister,

You are the man, I showed before and after to my GF and she said "don't think about it"

Gunny,

Do you accept visa for orders, thats amazing. And what engine and plane do you have for the prop in first picture?
