RC Hobby Work Space
What kind of space do you have for your hobby?
My wife made me a small shop area in my garage. I have a full blown Wood Shop in my back yard but I don't want sawdust in my cars.

RE: RC Hobby Work Space
Any issues with your wood working near the trucks? Cause I have a nice 19X24 wood shop with some nice work benches. Nice thing is it is heated and air conditioned.

RE: RC Hobby Work Space
do the woodworking thing too along with airplanes and it drives me nuts to have all that dust settling everywhere. I need to get a good dust collection system started. i have two cars a mini-baja and a slash and both collect dust while i am woodworking. my planes in the off season get the same way however the dust sticks to the caster oil from my nitro planes.

RE: RC Hobby Work Space
I just started in the hobby so my setup isn't half as elaborate as y'all. I have an old kitchen table setup in a backroom of my house with just a few necessary tools for me and my wifes rc18s. I hope once I start to get a better tool collection and waterproof my shed better; to set up a nice little RC work shop in there.

Hey, is that a can of nitro force next to the SC10? I use that stuff too. Anyway, that's a cool workshop, I hope to soon set up a workspace as well. I can't put it in my garage so I might use our extra bedroom. I'll post pics of the result.

RE: RC Hobby Work Space
Right now, my office/den/hobby room is a complete mess as I've moved everything I used to be storing in the basement in there until I finish renovating. Then it will all move down stairs to a custom 20' x 12' hobby room.

RE: RC Hobby Work Space
Quoted from OP's sig:
Pencils are worthless. Unless, of course, If you''re trying to light a fire...Then they''re worth something...
The Russians used pencils in outer space as an alternative to developing a pen that would function in outer space. The USA dumped hundreds of millions of dollars into developing a pen that would work in outer space. Not that this has anything to do with the topic. It's just your sig caught my eye and I had to throw out a random fact that LOTS of our tax dollars were wasted instead of using a worthless pencil that we already had uncountable numbers of in every office cabinet.
By the way I was going to post a pic of my humble beginners work space until I saw the other spaces shown here. You guys put mine to shame. It's a 3' x 3' bench with a shelf at the bottom and my tool box from when I was an auto mechanic next to it. There is also a small parts tray with several drawers to keep parts organized. Small, humble, and works for me since I only have a small amount of stuff to work on.

RE: RC Hobby Work Space
Yeah, come on and show us what you got. I find it is not the parts, the paints or enen the tools, it is the damn tires and batteries that take up all the room.
As a side note, I have finished the design of a rolling tool cabinet that breaks down to 2 pieces for storage and has a folding work bench top on it for the track. I will be working to build it over the next month as I find tiem. Whne it is done, I will post pics and drawings here.

RE: RC Hobby Work Space
Well all my rc stuff is in my truck 90% of the time i use it. Just drop down the tailgate and im good to go. I used to use the shed by the pool but it just wasnt workin out. I also have a table i set up outside the garage i work on too. The garage is my dads area, its FULL of car parts. So theres no room for me and all my rc crap.

the garage workbench
in use (taken today actually)
when the RC's are not in use they go up in the rafters of the garage for storage.
