Hahaha...When I was in High School my bedroom was in the basment and it had a walk out sliding door, I used to rebuild motorcycles down there, I'd have them hanging from the ceiling while I was rebuilding the forks...LOL toolbox was right next to my bed:) Thats brings back some great memories:clap:

Frank,

You must have had a HUGE bedroom to house all the tools required to work on Beezers and Triumphs.

See what I mean guys....Chainsaws and RC go hand in hand! Looks like a lot of you have the same hobby/passions as I have....I have never ventured into taking vids from my planes or heli's. But I think it is way cool. As for belonging to RC forums, I think I've found them all! RCG, FlyingGiants, RcUniverse, Helifreaks, RunRyder, you name it, you can find traces of me all over!

I'm sure some/most of you have some sort of technical background. Seems as though this is the norm. I was a machinist for 27 yrs, and have moved up the scale a bit to a Process Engineer. I love hybernating to the garage to tinker with things. Its my outlet.....What do some of you guys do for a living?

BTW...Thanks for the nice comments!

Hey I'm an auto mechanic, and yes it's a fairly techanical job these days. I spent most of my time on runryder. I've been into RC off an on since I was 12.

I would say an Auto mechanic is a very technical job. Shoot, there are people out there that can't even air up their tires! You don't see too many of those people into RC or Chainsaws! :chainsaw:

Ya for sure. Some cars can set the check engine light for having a brake light bulb out. People crap themselves whe I tell em it'll cost ya $70 to change a bulb, $65 to scan the computer $1.50 bulb and a few bucks to put the bulb in. It's crazy.

The whole downstairs of the house!!! the one half had my bedroom and TV and such and the other had a Shop Smith some tool boxes and shelves...

What you mean all those tools for BSA's and Trumpets, all you need is a small collection of Whitworth wrenches a oil drip pan(neccesity) a test meter for the Lucas Prince of Darkness electrical system and a small collection of oil sealents:) Can't beat the British!!!

I have pretty much the same setup as 7 oaks.
My workshop is in my garage : the left side is for my wife's car, the right one is my workshop ; I seldom put the car in it.

I'm set up to do all the metal and woodworking i'd ever want to do, and the second story room, is where i can take breaks... lol It has a big deck, (not pictured) outdoor kitchen, and when finished, it will have living quarters in it too...
