How I spend time in my Rocket Workshop

Just 65%?

That largest part looks like how most of my projects go.

That looks to be about right, save the fact I spend much more time painting, and a crapload more time sanding!

I call BS...there is no way you are only spending 15% sanding. That is like 80% of the build time.

I agree! Seems like sanding is the most drawn out part of the build for me.

Here's a dreadful solution.



It might not be pretty, but it could be worse.

lol, you are not alone, Tiger.

I've been know to throw a temper tantrum over mis-laid tools.

HOLY CRAP!!!
You can see your workbench? That thing is a blame MUSEUM!!! You can actually MOVE in that place!



A few questions though... Why do you have:
Urine in jars on the shelf...
Beer on the workbench...
A cigarette lighter in a change container...
And a MAD CHEF looking clock above the bench?

Agreed!

I agree! No way that chart is accurate to the way I spend my time in the workshop!

I Agree I spend at least half my time sanding. The worst part of any build.

 

[tightwad]

You left out one important slice of the pie...day dreaming of your next build, or how this build will look painted and what motor to fly in it. I spend at least 5 to 10% of the time just dreaming. I'm not counting the hours I lay in bed thinking about a project when I can not sleep.

Yup.

But if he never lost a tool then sanding would be 43% of his build time which sounds about right to me.
