What's your build area, shop, room look like?

[JLP1]

Here's mine 10' x 12' wide work area where I build rockets, rc planes, pyrotechnics, and all of the other little odds and ends. Behind me is an 8' wide breezeway then a 8' x 12' wide store room.

Are you planning to use that bench for food prep or something?

If so, @BABAR has determined which Titebond is appropriate to use.

 

[JLP1]

Hey I have prepped a few steaks, chopped a few nuts, and skinned a couple of squirrels in there

 

[David Schwantz]

Isn't this what it is suppose to look like ??

It looks alot like mine, except with less clutter. My big problem these days is storage for completed rockets. Going to have to start culling the herd or giving stuff away.

 

[David Schwantz]

I'll make room, can send them my way

@David Schwantz That short metal silo like thing. You building a Starship?

 

[OKTurbo]

Here’s the OKTurbo shop. It’s a mess... I had to move my music gear into the shop so the spare bedroom could accommodate extra family for Christmas.
. I might clean it up after the holidays.

After looking at your shops, I'd neve post a photo of mine.
I've got a folding table set up in my kitchen, which is piled with parts and tools and downstairs I have a drill press, band saw and bench sander on a computer desk, also piled with crap. I'm using the shower in my downstairs bathroom to store boxes of rocket parts.
I'd make a shop in my garage, but it's full of drift boats, canoes and bicycles, and I'd have to heat it.

Doesn't matter how humble it is as long as something cool comes out of it!

Observation 1: every shop seems to have at least 3 hobbies. Love seeing what everyone is into.
Observation 2: The ideal building space is clearly n+1 square feet.
I'll try to share my mess err... workspace... when I get home.

 

[David Schwantz]

Hey Greg, nope that is the "Flying Grain Bin".

 

[fyrechaser]

Hey OKTurbo, I think I spied me a "flite streak" in your shop.
Looks just like mine!

What's under the monitor in this photo? Looks like some sort of custom KVM

That's actually a power strip, from way back in the day.

We bought our house 2 years ago and it was immediately decide by my wife that the basement is too cold and grungy for her.
It's all mine! But I also really like legos so I have to share with my son (this just means he is into all my hobbies as well, hard to complain too much at that)

Wall of tools and main bench for construction of rockets/electronics/computers

Secondary bench for projects in build limbo. Old computers that I haven't decided what to do with yet. And kites that aren't yet in their winter home. Drying shelf on the far wall

Bonus picture of the adjacent room. Old game systems and gaming computers and a ton of legos.

Are the sockets individually switched or are those just indicator lights then?

Those are lighted power switches. That style of power strip/monitor base was popular back when IBM 286 clones were king of the hill.

1) Basement all to yourself: check
2) Shared hobbies with kid: check
3) Lego: check

You're living the dream, buddy.

Nice! I’m just getting back into it. Mine is on electron power. Still under construction, but it’s gettin close. I’m sure I will wad this one up, but I enjoy the building part.

 

[fyrechaser]

Very nice Turbo! I've been flying C/L on and off for a very long time. Electric is the way to go seems to me although I haven't done it yet. Much better than cleaning up the fuel residue and so much quieter. Nice looking Streak! Have fun with it!

I posted my garage work space earlier but have decided - with my Wife's approval, to build a shed. A Rocket Shed, not as fancy as The Skunk Works ;-> but a bigger space than what I have. I can build up to 200 sq feet without a permit (Bixby, OK). Need to decide on a reasonable size based on cost effectiveness (ie - build in units of 4"). I also need to figure out electricity and a cooling option. I think a "Salt Box" style with a non-peaked roof that is slightly angled away from the door, a single door (not double) to lessen the chance a lawn mower will deposit itself in my work space. Thoughts? Suggestions?

This thread is exactly what I was hoping for, keep the pictures coming. Maybe I'll get around to posting up a picture of my 1 car garage/man cave I rent here at the condos.

I could add my 5x6 shed that I use for a paint shack. One side houses the lawn mower, the other corner looks like a multicolored alien was murdered there.

 

[Dipstick]

Here's my workshop, mandatory allocation while the one car space is for my wife's van. Don't look too close at the homemade workbench, I totally goofed on some dimensions, but then decided to use it anyway lol.

 

[RocketT.Coyote]

Generally, my kitchen table. Otherwise it defies description.

Starbucks, or as Mugs914 puts it: The VAB.
