Working on my workshop!

[JERRY2KONE]

Designing and building in a Lipo charging station would be a nice add on as well. Something that would be a nice fireproof box with an exhaust fan to keep air temps at a minimum and also minimize smoke issues should you have a pack let go on you. The issue I have with simple laminant countertops is that they scratch, crack, and break much too easily and then they just look like dog crap. They were a good idea in the 70's, but now a days they are just a cheap way to go for people on an extremely tight budget. Don't short change your project and end up regretting it later on. Do it right the first time around and you will be pleased that you did. There are literally dozens of options at your disposal so make your choice considering the usage of the shop for both R/C repair work, and for your quad repair work as well. You want something extremely durable that cleans up nicely, and will last a long time.

here is my original sketch, the actaul plans aren't here but not much changed.



on the left you see the parts washer, it has a shop towel dispenser and spray can rack above it (it will also have compressed air with a short coil hose there)

below the parts washer is a big cabinet (prolly keep my tire wash bucket and cleaning stuff in there along with w/e else)

next to that cabinet is a set of shelves that are angled down towards the back, those are for all my bodies.

the 3 sections of overhead cabinets are 54 inches longs each and all have a 4 foot florescent light under each.

the center section of cabinets will have two smaller top drawers and two larger lower drawers. the tops will be for tools, hardware, and oils. the lowers are for parts.

under neath the front left corner is where ill keep my trunk that i take when i dont take the trailer (such as to rock crawling events)

The front left corner up there will be home to all my chargers and a stationary 12v power supply will be mounted directly under the counter (prolly atleast a 12v 45 amp setup)

coming around the front youll see another set of drawers the top will be for my lipos (yes theyll be in lipo sacks) and my different balance boards. the two lower drawers are very large the top for buggy and sc tires, the bottom for truggy and crawler tires. (it might not hold all my tires but i can always toss some tires in the trunk)

then there is another section with a wide drawer on top and cabinet underneath, ill keep a setup station and my setup sheets and manuals in the drawer. Im sure the cabinet will end up with a bunch of junk in it.

the car rack for all the car will be on the opposite wall

I think i'm going to be very happy with how much countertop space i'll have so i can spread out and stay organized better.
