New Shelf...

[RCP57]

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.


Now I finally have an empty workspace...hmmm

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

[RCP57]

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

[FlyingBeagle]

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.

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

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

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! Just kidding

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

[Espeefan]

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. 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.

[RCP57]

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

Hey Reg, I have 2 binders full of possibilities! Mostly IH equipment.
