Anyone got pics of their "work space"...

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...

This is my old work place

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... 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

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.

That will be a lot of pegboard! You will have a VERY nice, spacious, work area when you are done.

Heres some pics of the room, this is about as clean as it gets. I need to re-arrange everything to fit all of the recent purchases!



Battery, motor and esc storage in this toolbox:



Charging table:



My "machine shop", I really need to buy a small mill and lathe:



Where all of the magic happens:



Current pegboard, need some more! Most of my bagged parts are in boxes, makes things hard to find!
