Just want to say, if your on the fence about getting a retractable air hose, do it. I get so tired of rolling the hose up and when its cold and you have plastic based hose, good luck....it's stiff and hardly manageable. One thing I really regret is not getting the 50ft version. I bought the 25ft version and now I realize I was stupid for squeaking on 20-30 more bucks. I've solved that problem tho, I've gotten so spoiled that I'm moving the 25ft one to my other garage and going to put a 50ft one in this shop. Plus I think I'm adding a retractable extension cord....rolling those up is for the birds.

The wife is wanting me to get a cable machine but I have two four wheelers and a golf cart in there. Right now I have enough space to put a table which makes it nice when I need an extra work space. Funny thing is I have 24ft x 2ft counter and that space gets eaten up pretty quickly. I'm considering making a slide out table in one section on some roller slides like a toolbox has. The hardware store near me carries some super heavy duty ones and this will help me when cutting carbon cloth. I'll glue a cutting board to it (you know the one with 1"/1" squares) so I'll have a nice surface for cutting perfectly square stuffOriginally posted by Lone-Wolf View Post
Boy I got off topic quick lol.
I already have a bench tho, it's one that inclines too. Since my surgery I haven't been working chest heavy anyway, so no need for anything with heavy weights. We have a squat rack at the gym I work out at so less stuff I need at home32" carbon rivercat single 4s 102mph, 27” mini Rivercat 92mph, kbb34 91mph, jessej micro cat(too fast) wasComment

Oh yeah I forgot about your surgery, of course, no need for injuries that will take away from boat building! Was initially thinking you could alternate between cutting carbon cloth and doing deadlifts, squats or bench...all max weight too LOL! Truth be told, I actually finally sold my bench and weights yesterday which is why my mind was even on this, good to get rid of it, so difficult to motivate and workout at home as I am sure most will agree with.
Seriously though, your Shop is really coming together beautifully, nice work but still needs beer fridge even if just for show.Comment

Geez I don't know how I missed that, just being a smart-A**. Keep in mind that fridge will be more efficient while fully loaded.
BTW That epoxy floor is awesome stuff, looks great and will last forever, good choice.Comment

Thx fellas. It might not be the biggest shop but I'm happy with it. It's very cozy. I changed out the retractable air hose yesterday and added the 25ft to my garage and put a 5ft in my shop. Mo better now. I don't think I told you guys but I'm already planning an add on to the shop. When I get my income tax I'm going to add an 8x10 or 12 to the side of the building. The purpose of that is to get ride of the little plastic shed I have on the side and to add a little more "dirty" storage room. I don't like getting my shop dirty with grass and mud so the lawn mower, lawn tools, bicycles, waste oil containers and extra transmission cases and parts (I rebuild transmissions) are going in this building. Looks something like this but bigger

One small but very important thing to not forget is how you are going to store old and puffy lipo's until you can properly dispose of them, don't wanna risk losing the man-cave! Some old WW2 ammo boxes off to the side would look the part. Actually, now that I think of it, I gotta do the same...I'm such a hypocrite!Comment

As soon as I know I need to dispose of any, I shoot them with a .22 or salt water soak them. The .22 is much more fun however.Originally posted by Lone-Wolf View Post32" carbon rivercat single 4s 102mph, 27” mini Rivercat 92mph, kbb34 91mph, jessej micro cat(too fast) wasComment

North of the Border we're stuck with pellet guns and paintballs unfortunately, a .22 does sound fun though but would probably end with a night in the slammer LOL!Comment

That is horrible!Originally posted by Lone-Wolf View Post
On a side note, I picked this up the other day because it was on clearance for $89. 1250fps varmit hunter. I ordered a nitro cylinder conversion for it. Found out real quick how horribly inaccurate it gets when the pellet is right at or just above supersonic speeds. Plus it's loud like a .22 when the pellet breaks the sound barrier, it shoots much better with heavy grain pellets. This is my new more humane way of putting lipos out of their misery lol
