I originally posted this in the old timer section- but figured more would see it here.
While checking out the picture of Wayne's Viking I noticed something in the background. He has his drill press sitting in a cutdown cardboard box to contain the debris. What an elegant and simple solution, and it was free!
Almost everybody has a trick or 2 like this for building,flying,storing, etc. Lets see a few more. I'd post one but I have to find one in my mess first.

Some seemed to think this was a good idea, for reclaiming those glow plugs with the posts broken off from practicing 5' bottoms a little too zealously...it's a split-pin dealy, I think intended as a shear pin, I found at the local hardware store. Pried open with a screwdriver and forced over the post stub (carefully, so you don't break the seal of the stub). The pin may then be cut down with a Dremel wheel or something similar, but I'm too lazy...it works, I leave it alone.

For another "Simple Solution" check out my model storage post. ;D

My shop is in a garage that was used or a motor home by the people I bought my home from. There is no ceiling so the ceiling joists are exposed, and are about 12' from the floor. I hang my models from them using macrame rope that is about 1/4" in diameter. My CL planes hang by the horizontal stabs and RC fuselages hang using a loop for the tail and one for the nose. RC wings are hung using two loops. Works pretty good, and is "el cheap-o". Glen
