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.
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?

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.
We all desire brilliant work spaces, but that is not always the case due to money, kids, wife or whatever. Your space may not look as good as some others, but as long as it works for you that is what matters. You have your priorities in order and Motocross comes first. Good for you. Later when you get a little bit older R/C may take over that priority and you can expand/or improve your work space. The area looks very practicle from what I can tell. Efficiancy is the key to a good working environment. Nice setup.
