A buddy got it from a friend that works at a grocery store. They ordered to many. No idea on pricing as it was free to me......BONUS!

The kick out on the work bench is great - holds my laptop when I am wrenching for the most part. But it also useful for reference papers and what not. I just need to find a way to trim the rounded corners. Wood don't bend so well. As for the RC cages. Either solid rod or small tube like brake...

Now time to start building - AxialFest is 20 days away. 1 rig to finish and 1 I haven't started..........

I didn't really take photos between building like I had palnned. Life and work got in the way and a lot of this was done after the girls were sleeping or early mornings before work. But here is were I am, I had to get the place usable - AxialFest is coming and I want a JK to drive.... Machine...

I have been slacking in my posting - But I have been busy..... Built a deck... Got the fridge running and stocked.... Cooked some food... Oh yeah - I did get some work done on the shop in between all that....:mrgreen:

Has no one explained the entire process? I have debated it a time or two - F15 crew chief of 13 years. A co-worker just started the testing to get his a couple weeks ago. We goto a place in Cali for a week long TDY. They school you for so many hours - give you the resources to study for more...

Thats Alex in the photo - not myself. He open carries just about everywhere he goes. If I could stop spending cash on the garage maybe I could pick one up myself.....

Time for some updates.... Went to HF over the sale holiday... Finally something thats closer to all my tools in one box... And I found this little helper for re organizing my stuff - she works for cheap too... A buddy came by to help me finish up the over head framing... Will it ever end -...

Thanks mate, you'll be happy to know I blew up a portal box on my first outing in 2WD. Lol It was built to hold up to British and Euro winch events. And once the bugs were worked out it handled everything like a treat.

Yep interior paint. I think I have seen that one - I don't watch a lot of cable. I loved it when I saw it. Regardless if I use it on the walls I have been thinking it and dark grey Hammerlight for all my shop tools. Should look great and be different from the normal, reds, blues, and greens...

Last week I got the Garage cleared out to where I can start work again. Which means my loft and the Wifes sewing room is packed....... I hate moving:eyecrazy: Started the day with this... A Mate came by and we went to work. Figured we'd started throwing the main office/work bench together...

You have a good eye Sir. Copper Gleam - Valspar Brand. Says I need to use Tawny Bluff as the base coat. I am still debating if I want to use paint or actual Brass. But I need to get everything up on the walls before I pick where I put the stripe

I could use the shed as a work space alone. Lol Keep pushing - everyone needs their spot to play.

So I have been thinking...... Bad thing I know. 1/3 of the garage is going to be office style. Dry assembly, clean work area, computers, ect ect ect. We all know even when you have a barn to work in, storage is always a key ingredient in making your space usable. I have the over head area I am...

Thanks Mate - it took a lot of thinking and debating. I have more ideas than I will be able to complete in a year - thats for sure! It should be able to fit a car but that is not set in stone. And will be a mixture of a living area, hobby room, fab shop, and garage. Who does that? :eyecrazy...
