| Here is the garage all cleaned out and awaiting the plane. |
|
|
|
| This wood rack was one of the first welding projects I did. I am really into keeping the garage clean and organized and using the shop in the back for all the messy stuff. |
|
|
|
| In this picture, you can see a few things of interest. One is the TV so I can watch FOX News or history channel while working. Two, is my Radio Controlled Helicopters (X-Cell Fury's) one is in the bag. And three, the laptop in the "administrative area" where ronen and I enter our pictures and build log information that you are viewing right now on this site. We also use the laptop to look up resources while we are working. |

|
|
| I carpeted the third car part of the garage so it would be more comfortable. |
|
|
|
| The work table you see was my first welding project, it is good as an assembly table and I use it for working on my helicopters. |

| A closeup of the administrative area where we record the information you are viewing on this website and look up resources and buy parts. |

|
| This is a table that I built after realizing that we needed something bigger and shorter than my other assembly table. It has been great so far. If you choose to make one of these, make sure the bottom dimple on the dimpler is 1/8" higher than the work surface... look at www.whiskeybravo.com on the blunders page for information on what happens if you dont! |

|
| This is a closeup of the dimpler that I built into the table. |
|
|
|
| I inset two 1/4" steel plates to fit flush. One of them is for doing backriveting and the other has little holes as guides when doing countersinking. I also use them as flat surfaces for gauging flange angles and pounding on. |
|
|
|
| I inset a 3/4" piece of MDF into the table that can be used as a backing when drilling. It can easily be replaced when I get a lot of holes in it without replacing the whole top of the table. |
|
|
|
| I put a shelf on the bottom to hold things when needed. |
|
|
|
| This is the shop in my backyard (Matt) that we use for building in addition to the garage. |
|
|
|
| Here is a picture of it before completion without door knobs. It is done now. It has great conveniences such as cooling and heating as well as radio and TV. I rarely need to use the cooling or heating though as the temperature here in Fresno is usually nice. |
|
|
|
| This is a door to a storage room where I store parts so they wont get dust or overspray on them |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| I built skylights into the shop for plenty of lighting |

| Here is a view of the shop in the backyard where we do painting, sanding, and other "messy" stuff. |
