I think I see you have the fan including electric motor in the booth. Do you have any concerns with creating an explosive atmosphere from the paint and the motor electrics igniting this.

Mine is the furnace room. Here's a shot looking through the door.

If a person intends on spraying paint other than water based be sure you understand the explosive hazards, with the right concentration of paint vapour and oxygen you can create an explosive mix only needing a good ignition source (i.e. electric motor, furnace pilot) to cause a problem.

I am no expert but better safe than sorry.

Hey RS,

Do you build in this workshop ?? I don't see any dust,

This would have to be the most imaculatly cleanest workshop I've ever seen ,

I love a clean workshop, very nice.

Grant.

RE: Let's see your work shop!
 

Thanks for the compliment Grant.... Yes, I do all my building in there. It can get pretty messy then. Every once in a while, I sand the benchtops and recoat with clear polyurethane.

RE: Let's see your work shop!
 

folkewolf, how can you have a shop without a # 3 on the wall?

David

RE: Let's see your work shop!
 

I have a #24 hanging in my shop :D:D:D

RE: Let's see your work shop!
 

Toolow, did you see the hometown of Folkewolf? I don't think he has a 24 in his shop. I doubt if anyone in the club even uses Ch 24.

Lots of very nice shops.

This is mine, a bit messy, but I spend a lot of time out there. Its a three car garage, that we normally only park one car in (the wifes) and I take over the rest.

65,000 btu low profile natural gas heater, 22,000 btu Air Conditioner, digital thermostat (climate control), pull down ladder to the attic for additional storage, and satelite TV. I had a nice TV out there, but the dust and dirt is just too tough on them. I stick with el' cheapos now as they only last a few years.

I keep most of my nicer planes in my den away from the dust, dirt and overspray (nearly all of my planes are painted), I recently added some gladiator racking systems to hold the planes that works nice.

RE: Let's see your work shop!
 

Daven, I like your Gladiator hooks. I actually just installed them in my garage also. They work really good and you can move them around if needed.

RE: Let's see your work shop!
 

Yeah, they have a foamy surface, so you don't have to add that. Nice..

RE: Let's see your work shop!
 

Daven,
Sweeeeeeet,----- Love your shop---it's a clean working shop, nice hangers for your planes, looks like they work great!!!!:):)

RE: Let's see your work shop!
 

Here are a few pictures of my workshop. It is a 10 x 10 shed I bought from Home Depot. My awesome wife decided for me that it was time that I should move from the garage. We just bought our first house and thought it would be a great addition to our property. I ran some power under the ground and installed a couple power outlets inside. Also it comes complete with a computer with wireless internet and a 13 in TV with rabbit ears. I still need to paint the outside and do a few things inside to get it 100% done. Please let me know what you think. Also here is a link to my build thread with additional pics.

RE: Let's see your work shop!
 

A workshop is never 100% finished cause there's always room for one more plane , tool , kit , computer , flat screen TV , beer fridge , AC unit , toy hauler.

It never ends ,

A good miss' always counts , mine never complains. :D :D :D

RE: Let's see your work shop!
 

That's a nice setup mkhav3. My shop is in a garage attached to the house and the saw dust makes it's way inside. A wife who unstands our hobby is as good as a Top Gun Trophy.....

RE: Let's see your work shop!
 

I worked in a very tiny utility room at the end of carport for years but now have converted a rental house into a building house. I like the room an freedom from a nagging wife, I am down the road about 2 miles, wow, talk about freedom. It is almost like having a party every afternoon with all that building, cool beer, and freedom. If planned out properlly you could build in a small closet quite happily.

RE: Let's see your work shop!
 

daven I can't quite make out the calander. Can you post a better pic?

David

RE: Let's see your work shop!
 

I think it's December, lol, but I agree a better picture may help!

RE: Let's see your work shop!
 

I don't think he was looking at the date.:D

RE: Let's see your work shop!
 

A work shop should be a home away from home to have complete control over all variables. Here is a couple of pictures of a small house I converted into my workshop. It is just off the town square and there is a restaurant just down the street.

RE: Let's see your work shop!
 

Forgot about the calander in the picture, got that from the wife, I think its a 2003 Anna Kornikova calander :)

RE: Let's see your work shop!
 

Well, if it has a Anna Kournikova calender... it MUST be a Home away from Home then :D

RE: Let's see your work shop!
 

Well, sure, why not. here's a portion of mine, 32 planes operational.

RE: Let's see your work shop!
 

MormonMike, I will say one thing you sure have a well stocked workshop.

RE: Let's see your work shop!
 

Very Nice shop Mike.

Its nice to have all those little things that you need during the kit building process. Not having to wait for a certain something definately speeds things up.
