Workshops

[bobswworld]

You know there are lakes everywhere there and I did not get into this hobby really until I got here. It is alot warmer there.
Put my aquajet back together today, tried a 9.6 700 instead of the 8.4, went back to the 8.4
then I started cutting my hammer up to receive the 700 9.6, have to find or make a coupler for it and get a real prop




My boats are in there now

so where is the 'low temp storage unit'? (to store your super glue in) :)

[bobswworld]

Yeah I know, sometimes things get a bit cold, guess I should keep the batteries in the house. I think this is where you were going???
It warms up here to well above freezing during the day, and with the dark color of building things have not froze yet.
If you were serious Rex, what should I get, cause the wife is really happy not to have this stuff in the basement.

[Rex R]

well I will admit to thinking that; I prolly would have insulated it...(WI does get both extreams), was kinda trying to be funny. most of the workshops I see on the bboards always seem to have a mini fridge(reason usually given, store superglue...occasionally used to store a beverage or 2). if I were to use a fridge only for ca and a six pack then methinks a 6 cufoot job would be sufficent...might want something bigger if one wanted to make more than 1 icecube at a time tho :). if were me I'd insulate 1st then consider if I wanted to keep it warmed in the winter(when I wasn't using it, a space heater or small wood stove would work nicely if you just wanted to warm it occasionally) think most fridges have issues w/ below freezing temps.

Now I understand, LOL
sounds good to me. The wife wants a new frig, so maybe I can get the old one.
Really thought you was going the other way. Started building maybe beginning of Sept. so there are a few more things I would like to do. The old house we bought is not even insulated, we are kind of inbetween the extremes of climate. wife says no insulation for garage until house is insulated. This is our first house and I feel like renting again sometimes, too much work.
My neighbor gave me a propane wall heater (in pic) it does good.
I know where you are it gets real cold, I spent 18 years up around Erie PA (dreary erie), here we just got 3 1\2 inches of snow last week and shut the town down. they are not used to it here. Rocky Mount Va is considered part of the south.
Thanks for some humor Rex
hey what boat do you run? if I was to look back at some post I could answer that.

[Rex R]

well I haven't had my iced tea turn into tea ice(in the car) yet this year...gotta keep the priorities right(and maintain domestic tranquility :)).
boats hmmm lets see; 19t electrified, N2 df25, n2offshore- xs-cat, ls sv, P offshore mean machine, think thats it( not counting long term project boats) :).

Cool shelves

So the other day I realized that every horizontal surface in my tiny pad had a boat on it , so I sprung for some shelves [ Walmart ; @ 24 bucks per tower].
Now, if I drank a beer [ I don't dare ; I have to be home for Christmas] I'd have a place to set it down

Mr. Chops Sir..Whats in the upper right hand shelf?

Aha !! I knew someone with a sharp eye would pick up on that one ! That, my good buddy , is my beloved 'ole 31.1 mph 700SC Twinstorm, my first love and entry level learning experience. At some time, she'll get a new power/drive system ; I dig her looks- kinda like your Rio ; cool scale offshore racer. BTW , You know what the slot above her is reserved for !!

[SJFE]

I sure do :D. I nailed every other boat instantly. I have always liked that boat!! Just never run across one while shopping. Kyosho had an add in the last issue of RCBM for a nitro version. They said the hull was FRP. I have yet to see them @ KO America or any where elce for that matter. But I'm lookin

[properchopper]

re :

It'll probably take a bunch of interior mods to rig her; cutting out the radiio box, re-inforcing hull & stern, fabbing a watertight hatch. I've held back since I was a little short on experience in such matters, but several boats later I think I may be up to the challange . I'm thinking of a 9XL or 10XL on 4S. I already have Speedmaster hardware, shafts & such. Right now I'm tuning 4 boats for WW IV & also the first FE heats for the SoCal Fast Electric race in conjunction with the Seismic Amigos Nitro guys at Legg , both races this March

My cave !!
It is not quite a basement but close. It is my place and I keep it this way.
This is where the odd creations that I do come from.
