RC10Talk - The Net's Largest Vintage R/C Community

Was doing as big clean up this afternoon and was wondering how everybody's work station might look like....could sound cheezy for some but it could give some great ideas on how to ''setup'' a good working station.

Anyways, here's mine:

here's how NOT to keep your work station. it's amazing i can find a freakin' thing in my bomb blast.

my wife needs to get on the stick and straighten up my area every once in awhile.

Oh man... ok, I'll take some pics...it ain't gonna be as pretty as what you all have shown...

And I was thinking of having a "show off your vintage pit space" thread...

Nice ashtray scr8p! Bad for badhoopty though...

I'll give you the 30-second tour, and the current stage of chaos it's in right now...


April 2007 (framing):


May 2007 (walls):


June 2007 (primer paint + trim):


August 2007 (color + flooring + fluorescent lighting):


September 2007 (lots of crap + moving = chaos):







Give me a few weeks, and I'll post something more "organized" and finished looking.

it's usually full, too.

that's a sweet room doug. i'm gonna start framing up my basement over the winter, i hope. then i'll have a designated room again.

Things to do this winter:

1) Install basement

Since most homes out here in So Cal are built on concrete slabs, this is probably impossible. I'll have to build a little out building in the back for my workshop.

I've just moved so everything is still not here, but here you go!

I kind of have 2 hobby areas. I generally work on cars in the kitchen as we have a lot of work surface plus a sink and close proximity to the garage. You can see my JRXPro being worked on here:



When projects are finished they move up to the hobby room which due to its layout is impossible to take good images of!! But anyway:

Got room for that new graphite car yet...?

hey tomstacey dont you worry about getting flat spots on the tires of those nice shelf queens?

I haven't taken any pics of my workspace since 2004 so what you see doesn't reflect my aquisitions since.

The first pic is just some of my boxes that contain all my spare parts.

second and third is some of my collection

and the last photo is proof to my wife that yes I can fit a car in the garage.

Really though I have plans to revamp my garage. I am going to extend it about 12 feet forward, sheet rock it and make it really nice.

Nah.. they get taken down and fettled with too often!!

Actually, I do have some stands I made from 1/8" Alu, but on my new shelves they lift the cars up too high. Anybody got any good stand ideas?

Ok..I'll crack the camera out shortly. Do you guys like Cougars too?
