Workshop

 Well....the idea was obtain a place to build parts of a plane - check. 

Then, to setup a workshop capable of performing such a function - ahh, not quite.

This will eventually become the space I need it to be. I know, it doesn't look like it right? But it does have a little potential. It's not quite a hangar but it's the best I can do for now. If I had a choice, polished floor boards wouldn't be the base for my workshop. More on that later.

I was fortunate to be able to obtain some racking at a very discounted price - right place, right time. 

As mentioned earlier, polished floor boards wasn't my preference so I decided to cover the floor in rubber backed carpet squares. It came up better than I thought. This is obviously the 'before' shot...

I needed to get some of the racking out of the garage so I could bring my car in.

The bench was about 1.5' less than the width of the room which was perfect as the compressor fits nicely in the corner. The lighting isn't perfect (especially that one in the corner) so that's something I'll need to fix over time. 

This area will adapt as I create a place to store tools & parts, read drawings, improve lighting and the most important thing - I'll have to set up a sound system of course. I'm fortunate to have an A/C unit to one end of the room so temp shouldn't ever be an issue. Once the larger components of the plane begin, I plan on having storage space closer to the roof and may need to shuffle things around to optimize the space although I'm expecting that to be at least a couple of years down the track.
