Definitely a work in progress, this is one bay of a 3-car garage. I had it walled off, and both walls insulated. Wired for really good overhead flourescent lighting and a LOOOONG power strip on the west wall to power tools. The tool chests are all on rollers (which turned out to be, not only a waste of money but a real pain). The garage door is also insulated and the floor is Urethane Coated. First class.
Now if only I would finish packing stuff away and get rid of the junk I will never use....

In the first pic. what is the plane with twin rudders on ground

Oh, yeah, the polka-dot thing on the band saw is my airgun target, set up for 5 meters. The sailboat was a gift from my kids, and I love it but don't get around to sailing it much (but wait until my reactions are really shot, then it will be the new hobby).
That big RC job is a donation from a guy to our club swap meet effort to repair the field. It is for sale, radio and all ready to fly, tool box included.
No, I haven't gone over to the dark side. ( a bit of indoor RC doesn't count, does it?)
Tools that are hard to see are Harbor Freight small cut-off saw, Harbor Freight small table saw, and an arbor press that surprisingly comes in handy now and then. Of course those tool chests hold a lifetime of professional prototyping tools accumulated from when I was free-lancing as a designer/prototype builder in the toy industry. All paid for and deducted from taxes! VD~

The twin rudder model is the E-SkySport 350. It has a thread on the "All Amped Up" section of this forum. Basically it is a .15 size SkySport adapted to electric. Andy Borgogna and I are working together to learn about this new phase of modeling. There have been a few bumps in the road, but we ARE learning. Look for my thread on motor mounting, and I think there was an earlier thread about the airplane itself.

After seeing your pics I don't feel so bad. LL~ LL~ My son came by yesterday and I asked him if he seen any difference. he stated, "Yeah, I see all the horizontal surfaces are stll cluttered. This after I have gotten rid of several boxes and tubs that were just filled with what ever I could pick up in the old basement. So far I have found 6 brand new in the box engines. Sold some books I have had for ages. Also sold several used engines. Three of them reside in the UK. Don't ask how many planes I deemed unflyable/unrepairable. Slowly getting organized. H^^

Your shop looks well organized. I have built myself into a corner. LOL

You need to fly and crash more..... VD~ S?P

I think Jim has his planes programmed not to crash. Also that basement is way to neat and clean. Must be the RC side of him. LL~ LL~ LL~
