Good work Bo, can never have too much bench top

On another note, how far along have you gotten on your garage/workshop
this summer?

Thanks, Joe. I'm keeping the workspace in the basement, with some upgrades for the RC trucks. The shop area is all excavated except a bunch of boulders in VW beetle size. Need to crack them into smaller pieces to be able to move them out and away. This year was supposed to be a year of not much work, had more work than ever. So time for the shop build hasn't been there yet. Hope to resume soon.

I LOVE that idea! If I had better than a plastic folding table as a workbench, I just may steal that idea.............but I don't.

Am i the only one thinking the 2 lane blacktop needs the white Stop Here line at the intersection with the wood wrapped bench?

Maybe like a rolling hills and sky kind of mural on the block wall...

Too many outlets and lights are a nice problem to have

Thanks, Frizzen. Yes, a great idea. I think people will get tired of this photobombing soon. Until that occurs I will keep adding stuff and gadgets, Snapp a picture or two every now and then.....I feel inspired to get the really big build going soon Until that happens. Keep clapping and stay warm.

Hey, a little break in the shop overhaul. Let's test the workspace a bit with something different.

Got a new fella from Amazon, completely out of scale, or not. After some hacks, it should be a useful machine.

[IMG]IMG_3408 by Bo Wallen, on Flickr[/IMG]

Put some Tamiya wheels next to it for comparing the size.

[IMG]IMG_3409 by Bo Wallen, on Flickr[/IMG]

I also figure out some of the recipes for the makeover.

[IMG]IMG_3419 by Bo Wallen, on Flickr[/IMG]

After some serious hacks, it should turn out somewhat like this one.

[IMG]Kalmar by Bo Wallen, on Flickr[/IMG]

Oh well let the cutting begin, order some more parts.

Nice!
I was wondering when someone would start making one into a Hyster or container stacker. I didn't realize they were big enough that semi wheels fit.
