I took the first picture and thought I should clean up a little. Spent about 5 minutes shoving everything off to the side.:lol:

Dont mind the spudgun in the first pic... This room is right next to my bedroom in my basement. There are some advantages to still living with your parents!:na:

I recommend a fluorescent light over the workbench. I put an outlet thing where the light bulb goes. There is still a light bulb socket on that and then I plugged in the fluorescent light in that so it turns on with the switch.

I knew there was something I forgot to consider when building my work place, a TV

Yep, a tv and a cpmputer are nice, especially for online exploded diagrams. If I ever get my laptop back that is where it will go. I have a small radio that keeps me company, but will soon have the complete A/V setup in the room. That will give my friends something to do while I work on the rc cars. Gta4 is fun, that is for sure!

All you need is a refregarator and a urinal and you will have no reason to ever leave..:lol:....when I lived in Washington state I had a seperate 2 story garage that had a refrigarator, microwave, and bathroom, put 20k into it I was able to talk my wife into it making it if I would make it a 2 story building so she had a place to do her crafts

I want to stress the importance of a good, large, workbench. My dad put in all the shelving when we moved in and we both love it. Here is what our garage is like. The third stall is converted into a shop. Not for RC's, but is has a radio for sittin around in the summer and a good place for spud guns...

The pictures are supposed to be in better quality this time...

May be a strange question, but where can I get peg hooks in bulk? I really need a much bigger piece of peg board, my 4'x4' peice is loaded!

Doesnt peg board come in 4x8' sheets like plywood? I would just get the hooks at a local store. I dont see why people buy so many things off the internt when they can get the same stuff for the same price, maybe less, at a local store the same day:diablo:... I'd buy a couple of those to start with and you can get a few small packs of the ones you need some extra of.

at least for me as I have gotten older my time is more vauable to me and needing it right away isnt that big of a deal, and when you factor in the price of gas it makes sense to buy off the net....also I get more pissed off at my LHS more everytime I go there they seem to have no clue whenever I need anything

Here's mine, I finally added another light over the workbench area and moved my air compressor to the same side as my working area.

Yep, peg board does come in 4x8 sheets. I have tons of parts in boxes that are unopened, and will most likely need 3 or 4 sheets of pegboard and 300-500 hangers. I bought out most of the parts when a local hobby store went out of business, pennies on the dollar. If I was to buy the pegs locally it would cost 500-1000 bucks, that was why I was wondering about bulk pegs.

Thanks all for your pics. You have given me some great ideas. I thought it might be nice to see where everyone does their"BEST" work.:yes:
