Show Us Your Rocket Building Table

[Shadowspawn]

I think It would be interesting to see the building table or work bench setup of fellow rocketeers. Would anyone else care to post a photo of your building area to show what it looks like where the magic happens?

I’ll start things off with a pic of my LPR hobby table…

 

[Alan R]

Oh sure. Great kick off. Just start out by intimidating everyone.

I have two. The foam block is kind of the "warm weather" LPR table in the back room with no heat. The other is for big rockets, which is currently being used for a woodworking project.

I envy those who have a dedicated work bench for the cause that doesn’t have to be shared.. Great setup you have there!

That's only one of the workbenches. More details here:

Lots of other examples on that thread too .

I created this meme today based off a thread I started in the Estes FB group. Sums it up nicely...

One picture just can't hold it all.

I build LPR, and do so during the winter months, so most of the build is in the kitchen.



But since I make most of my own nose cones, transitions, fins etc. I head out to the barn to make these.

Here is my work area. It is just in one bay of our 3 car garage.

How did the toilet plunger fly?

How did the toilet plunger fly?

It flew fine. Straight off the rail and then a little arc to the right. Made about 300' on an F67. I wasn't able to find it after the launch. Next time I go out I'll look for it again. That's why I made a second one. So somewhere out in the desert there is a plunger sticking up out of the ground. Maybe in 20 or 30 years when that area is developed someone will find it and wonder how it got there. That is if I don't find it first.

mine, although it's covered in a Lego build..

My table and build room take up the better part of my basement. I use my adjoining garage as a paint booth.

This is just after we moved in a few months ago with more stuff to unpack and before I started working on anything - it doesn’t look like this now

I build in my basement. I paint in the garage, mostly. Sometimes I can get away with a small amount of spraying in the furnace room. (As long as I can keep the smell from getting upstairs.) Our furnace doesn't run in the winter, I use an outdoor wood boiler.

Currently in a medium state of mess. Not terrible.

Ok. What's under the car cover that still has white wall tires?

Today's suggestion - Do not move

Although this picture is a few years old, it looks pretty much the same today.

Do not sneeze. Do not move by the table too quickly. LOL

finally, one that I can relate to

This is my formal dining room table and rocket building station. (You can probably guess I'm single.)

Got to be about the most perfect layout I can imagine.

 

[Hobie1dog]

todays status, but have lots of improvements to make. I started a thread last week Trying to get people to show how they lay their tools out but didn't get any responses, so I'm glad people are responding to yours.

Next is raising the tv up 3 inches so that the center channel speaker will fit under it. Coming up with possibly taking the top RH drawer and putting in foam board dividers made for all the tools so I can pull the drawer out and have everything right there.

Mine is in the corner of a bedroom.

Don’t judge me.

But where do you build the rocket? There's no room to even lay one down, or stand it up.

I said don't judge me.
