So, my planes were overrunning my den, and the wife was getting tired of me dripping glue on the kitchen table. And I have a 1600mm P-38 on the way... What to do, what to do? First thing I did was buy her a new kitchen table. It was 25 years old to begin with, so we were due for a replacement.
I moved the table to the garage, and kept two chairs. I had a portable air conditioner for the garage to begin with, so I put the table next to it. Hung a cabinet for my R/C tools and parts, and installed an LED light under it. Had an old TV, so a welded up a bracket, and hung the TV. Fine, work area done, now what do I do with all these planes???
I went to Lowe's, and bought a bunch of ¾" PVC pipe, insulation and glue. I have a buddy that is an electrician, so he gave me some cool conduit clamps, and hollow wall anchors. I made simple U-shaped brackets out of the PVC pipe, slipped the insulation over them to protect the planes finish, and screwed them to the wall. So far, it's working pretty well. Only problem was I ran out of wall space, after I built the Lightning. It had to go on another wall...
