room to store planes - I love my ARF plant - I used Ikea kitchen island tops at 2 bills a piece - all birch - and did 2 talbes with rolling legs - and put them together if I'm working on a larger plane

I like the way you 'store' your transmitters

Which just brought to my attention the fact that I can see 12 airplanes, and 11 transmitters. That means that there is a Tx missing, or that one of them actually has more than one model in memory.

I bet each of those transmitters has built in 30 model memory and each also has a $50 SD memory expansion card installed.

Well here is the Beginning of my workshop just took the 3rd stall of my garage and built a nice work station for $17... now i just need to get shelves and drawers for storage.

Very nice bench! And for $17....you must know what you are doing!

My work area. Work table = box airplane fuselage came in. Work stool = carpet floor. Ah... luxury.

It's an ARF, you can get by with that 'workbench'

LOL yeah cardboard boxes make bad sanding tables. Not to mention the mess when you wet sand the paint job.

My small slice of heaven

I will post pictures as soon as I get some taken. I am building a 16'x24' man cave in the back yard. Been slow going though I have only been able to work on it durring the weekends. finished the roof last weekend and was able to get the windows in and siding on this weekend. Thanks to my father-in-law and a buddy from work. I only wish I had started taking pictures at the begining of construction.

Ok went out and snaped a few pics

and a few more, wish we could spend more time working on it but at 104 deg. it's too dang hot!!!

Bad, bad, bad, .... truss for the ceiling....how you gonna store all those kits up there? Pretty soon your better half will walk in and SEE your stash of kits sitting on the floor! Then the trouble begins....how about putting in a secret door/room for them?

It may be hot there, but I'm GREEN with envy here - LOOKS GREAT!!!

Getting ready to build my shop out back. I'm having a hard time with size. I know it can never be TOO BIG! However, I want to be reasonable. I feel like 12 X 16 or 14 X 16 is going to be about right to look right and fit in the space I have available. I'm thinking that will be decent. I could go bigger if I had too but it's going to look strange and cause a lot of extra work because of the lay of the lot. Anyone working in 14 X 16 now? How is it? I'm a pretty organized type. My shop is always neat and orderly. That should help with smaller.

I built a 16x20 it was fine at first, then got too small.

I then bought a 12x24 and again it got to small.

I'm going to build a 30x40, we'll see.

go ahead and go as big as you can. my last shop was 12'x12' this one is 16'x24' and it still wont be big enough. but I will make it work

Setting the doors this weekend then starting on the wiring, I am starting to see light at the end of the tunnel...

NEVER BIG ENOUGH! Even she said that.

Couple'a pics of my current shop ;~)

Floor looks terrible, get some paint on it...and I think I show the wife your pictures so she can see why I just turned GREEN with Envy!

My dad and I built a separate detached shop on the other side of our drive way. We new from the beginning that It would half to house quite a lot including every one of our woodworking tools as well as RC building tools, storage, parts, etc. It would also half to be big enough to house about 40 flyable planes between the two of us, multiple kits waiting to be built, radio/field equipment etc. So knowing all that, we decide to build our shop at 24' x 36' and 2 stories tall. It is a 100% dedicated R/C workshop and not used for any thing else. It is a little over a year old now and it has been plenty of room (so far) for the two of us to work in. We both can build several big projects at the same time and we dont get in each others way at all. I havent really updated any more pictures on this thread but it is a little more finished on the inside now and has cabnits for storage and peg board for R/C parts.

My favorite, but not mine.

it is not safe or cool to leave donuts in the trunk of an airplane moving device!

My Man-Cave:

My fiance allowed me to convert our 12' x 20' family room on the lower level into my shop/gym. Gym is not pictured. My shop consists of two 6.5' wooden tables that I built, and one 6' plastic folding picnic table.

The table in the middle is usually used for building, and has a 1/16" stainless steel panel on top so that I can build with a magnet system. Currently, the table is being used for a temporary project. The other wooden table serves as a platform for my scroll saw and multisander.

The picnic table serves as my car/truck pit space, chock full of all kinds of tools. It is where I do my soldering/assembling/repair of my cars and trucks. You can see some of the bodies for my minis, all of which I painted.

I also have a model railroad oval circumnavigating my shop. There are 2 N scale ovals on the inside, and 2 HO scale ovals running along the outside. I sometimes run the trains while working down there.

Suspended from the ceiling is a kit-built 4*60, a re-covered Seagull models Spacewalker II for my fiance, a Great Planes P-51 Mustang in the bones, and a couple of trainers (not pictured) that hang over my gym.
