dvd player if you get bored???

Well here's my dungeon build. Me and my wife bought our first house a little over a year ago. While looking at houses I kept an eye out for an "RC space"

Here's what I started with. I won't post up all the photos I have. We'd be here for a while. Most of these are outdated by a few months at least so a lot of the RCs you see have come and gone.

Here's how it looks now. Here is the brazing area.

Notice these under the bottom shelf

They are on casters and great for storing scrap/extra steel and styrene

Work space. Eventually the blank wall above it will be pegboard. Lighting is WAY better than what this photo shows.

Battery station. Building a new one now. I don't like moving all the lipos away when I charge another. Call me whatever but the thought of one lipo going boom and setting off the others frightens me! So I'm building a larger one that will accommodate a battery bunker.

Parts wall. Tires underneath

this is kind of the "staging" area. Stuff being worked on or getting ready to be worked on sit here.

That's it!

Very nice Nick!

Ok, Nick - what did you blurr out? :intello:

I actually like you charging station. Good idea - I'll have to build one like that.

At the time the photo was taken I was working on a project for someone. The guy I was doing the project for was keeping it hush hush until the project was finished so I didn't want to give anyone any sneak peaks. That project has been finished so I can post a photo of what it was.

It was a tube frame chassis for a Jeep body made to be a direct replacement for an Axial AX10 chassis.

This was after he finished the paint and put it all together.

That's sweet. Is it out of steel? The joints look brazed?

Yup, all steel. Some tubing and some solid rod. All the joints are brazed.

I'm also building a loft in my garage to get some clutter out of the basement, I'll be putting a workbench along the wall under the loft for some of the smellier duties the shop requires.

very very nice Nickrummy

i envy you.........i really do:no:

here are some old pictures maybe if i get motivated ill orginize it and get some more pictures

its a room in my basement about 12x6 and there is a room about 20x6 next to it wich is storage for everything else and rc boxes also my aircompressor is in there with a hose ran through the wall into the rc room. The walls need to be repainted because the paint is the same since we moved in when i was about 6 so about 17 years.

Nice!
 

Nice work guys. I love seeing your spaces, as it gives the rest of us ideas to work from. Great shop Nick. I like the way you incorperated a rangehood with fan and light for the soldering station. That works out great for the usage. I am going to be looking for one of those now. It would also be a great addition for a battery charging area. I should have some photos up of my new space within the next few days. My kids and I have been working on a complete remodel of the maids quaters. Since we are here on Gov assignment our work is only for temporary use(3 to 4 years), as it will all have to be ripped out upon our transfer, and returned to its original state. Some old kitchen cabinets were donated by our maintenance group(GSO), and I have been building some extra shelving and painting as we go in order to keep it looking somewhat clean. I finally put some power strips on the workbench yesterday and we are nearly ready to begin R/C work. I have one Maglight for small piece work, but I do need to find some good lighting to brighten up teh area. It really is nice to get organized and spend a little time preparing the space as much as possible. I know it will help keep things in order making it easier to find something when it is needed. I have gotten a few ideas from this thread, and you guys have helped a lot during this project. All it has cost me up to now is like $20 for paint. Everything else was used stuff we got for free. The room has cable installed so now I have to find a good flatpanel for us to watch.

Here Goes Nothing.
 

Ok well I set up my photobuket account and now I will try to share some of my shop photos with you guys. I did just what I was told so I hope that it works. I managed to add 6 pics so please tell me if it worked or not. So this is my new shop that I set up in what is supposed to be the maids quaters in our residence. It is small, but I tried to pack in as much stuff as I could to make it workable. I even put up my portable DVD for now, but the wife says that I will have a nice flatscreen in there after Xmas. Not bad for goverment quaters don't you think?

Very nice! I am going to hang up my rides next month!

Learning.
 

Yea I saw that in one of the other posts earlier on and knew right away that I wanted to do that as well. It is a space saver for sure, and I like the way it looks.
