New Shelf...
 

Well after a month of wedding/honeymoon time I've found my way back into the shop...well sort of. I've been struggling for a while now for space to store my models while retaining enough room to work on them so today I picked up this Snap-on shelving unit from Costco. It's more of an industrial piece but it works OK for my big heavy models(yes the KW takes up one whole 6 foot shelf). After I took the picture I ended up making some brackets for the feet and adding some casters so I can roll it around. I must admit that I was too lazy to remove the models and almost blew out my foo-foo valve lifting it onto the casters by myself:jaw:.

Now I finally have an empty workspace...hmmm

Wow your work area looks so clean and tidy..:D. mine looks like a twister went through it:o

Re: New Shelf...
 

Yeah it seems that way for now:rolleyes:....that's only because you can't see the metal bench and I don't have any builds going on.lol

Re: New Shelf...
 

No builds going on, That is unacceptable. How am I supposed to entertain myself without you building something. Maybe we need to start a poll where all of the members on here can choose what you build next. That would be entertaining.:D:D:D

Re: New Shelf...
 

Haha yeah that's a good idea...it would be interesting to see what people think of...and maybe a little scary.lol

Re: New Shelf...
 

Watch it Reg. Next thing you know, there will be a forum-wide poll :eek: :jaw: :eek:
:lol: :lol: :lol:

Re: New Shelf...
 

The poll would be a great idea but it would cost you to vote in the poll and the money would go to fund the build!:jaw: Just kidding:lol::lol::lol::lol:

BTW Reg nice work area and shelf, the bench is definently to tidy!

Re: New Shelf...
 

I don't bother with shelves or benches. All they are is another place for me to make and leave a mess! If I clean them off, the junk multiplies and comes right back. It's kind of like weeding. Never ending. :D But, your models do look good on there Reg. I do clean my work area once in a while. Usually when I start a new model, or when I can't find my tools anymore.

Re: New Shelf...
 

Haha yes this could get interesting and or expensive...a poll with a toll would be a great idea:rolleyes: or maybe someone willing to buy the machine when it was finished:confused: I would find it amusing to see what other members think my fleet is missing though...:confused::D
