That is SWEET could you make alluminum shock towers ? I would pay good money for one to go on my Custom Works Outlaw Sprint ... :BLAA:Good eye Jerry! That it is and I have been using it for all my RC goodies.
Last thing I did on it just the other week was make a new engine plate for the Savage after I cracked the stock one. Put some bling in it and now my buds want one too.
Can you make me an aluminum shock tower Jerry ? :rockon:bd43 that's cool and now you'll need a faster machine when the orders start. I made parts for Associated RC 10th scale cars and trucks in the past and you can get real busy real fast:thumbup:

I will send you a brand new plastic one will that work ? :rockon: I just got back from the races and I was telling Bob I sure sure hope Jerry says he can build me a shock tower and Bob was like WOW that would make your car way more rigid and handle way better and I was like i know right !! :BLAA: http://www.customworksrc.com/aa_support/models/0720/0720 Outlaw E.pdf 1278 OUTLAW ADUSTABLE CARBON FRONT SHOCK TOWER Detail Page They dont offer an aluminum one !! and they put that un-needed hole there in the middle of them so they will BREAK !! Uggh an aluminum one the thickness of the plastic one would be BULLET PROOF !! (evil) LOLSure, just send a sketch with the basic dimensions and how thick you want it. I can make one out of 1/8" carbon fiber too if that would be better, more bling:thumbup:

I guess, I could consider this a hobby. I've been working on this for a few months in the evenings and some weekends, with a long break to study for an exam.
The cabinets and the counters are all the same - just resurfaced and put granite tile.

And here's me thinking you were going to cook us up a storm
A little disappointed I must say to see the next pic & there was no delicious food to eat
But hell man , you done a fantastic job on the kitchen reno's :BLAA: Well Done :rockon:
So here's mine. We moved back late last year so it's not fully setup up.
This workshop is almost identical to the way it has been before the move and transformed to this circa 1999.
Primary use of the workshop has been to feed my fasination with RC in general. In 2007, a slight diversion from that hobby was the FZ6 and some of the modifications that I thought would be useful to it.
My top 10 suggestions for a usable workshop are the following:
1. Lights, lots of them. Can't do a half descent job on anything if you can't see it.
2. Workbench space. Put as many as you can and as long as you can in the space you have. Counter space is prime. Also make them sturdy and strong.
3. Storage. Any hobby, you will collect tools, parts, machines, bins, cleaners, paints, so organizing them from the get go makes it tidy and workable. I also top the center bench with some coroplast I got from a tire shop advertisement. The coroplast cleans easy when you're working with greasy or dirt parts.
4. Entertainment and communications. Sometimes a project is going to eat your evenings to the wee hours of the nite. Might as well make the best of it. Put in a TV, radio, computer with internet, wall clock, and telephone, stay a while.
5. A sink with running water. Good for washing parts, hands, RC trucks!
6. If you're building airplanes or doing woodwork that generates a lot of dust, an air filtration system and some kind of dust collector like a Delta ceiling mounted air filter system and a shop vac.
7. Fatigue mats. Especially if you are going to be standing over one area for a long time.
8. Chairs or stools. If not when you stand so long, then a seat for your buddies who come over to hang.
9. Power tools. If you use them a lot, keep them here instead of going off to the garage or where ever they are stored. If it's inconvenient to get to, you might decide to do something half fast without it and end up with a grade B job, then show up to the air field and get a "WTF?"
10. Power receptacles or power bars. Power tools, battery chargers, computers, desk lamps, they all need a spot on the power grid. Wire in extra circuits if need be to handle all the loads.
