Charles. I am loving that workshop. It has so much potential, and that view really takes the cake. Although I must admit that if it weren't for your far superior photography skills, we wouldn't be having the same reaction, lol.
Now put some carpet on that floor! :p:
dang, that room had me fooled. i never thought you were on the roof, figured it was the basement. no windows, cement walls, the pipes :shrug:
Thank you James. :)Quote:

Ignore the colors - it won't be painted. :)

I likes 'em high so it will be pretty tall. I'll also build a shelf into the base for storage. As an Aquarist who builds his own tank stands, I'm a classic overbuilder. Pretty much everything I build out of wood is overbuilt. It's a sickness really... Well, if I ever decide to get a 300 Gallon tank, I'll have a stand. ;)
Anyway, here's the lumber. Now where did I put those instructions...

Thanks for looking in. :)
what is this wood your using??? I want waterjet cut, gutted TJ07's to construct the murderbench!
Now we know why his name is 'Harwood' :).
Damn i didn't know you live in Vancouver until i saw science world lol...great work man
wow, not only is that a great shop, but real world lighting will make your photo's even better..
I must say that your an amazing photographer, those pictures were great, and a few deserve to go in XS Xtreme Photography section I think. lol. I only WISH I could take photo's like that.
Good luck with your new shop, and I look forward to seeing your work. and I must say, one day i WILL own one of your pieces of art that we all call computer cases.
Well, Charles wonderful work..now I know what drives you, What a view, really it inspires one to do great things. Charles, thanks a lot for helping me with the whole hole tapping project on the 900. I finally got it done and powder coated that case. I am starting on another one..hopefully, soon I will have the TJ-07 to play with and integrate some murdermods to it.
Your work is truly amazing...not to mention your advice, thanks Charles..Looking forward in reading about your projects some more.
Sorry Charles, but it is not a garden ... it is a shooting range.Quote:

Five coats seamed to do the trick, hopefully it will give me a resilient surface. The final step was the lighting which I got from Home Despot. I went with two 4-foot strips of T-8's w/ reflectors. They're not too pricey and do a nice job. I put rubber pads under the legs to help absorb impacts and reduce their transfer down into the building.
Wednesday I will start using the bench as I have much to do and no time to waste! The rest of the shop will be filled out over time; things like a rolling mechanics tool chest, standing metal tool cabinets and a built in wall storage unit for parts. I like having a place for everything and effectively using up all available wall space. I'll probably build another largish table on wheel that will be used to layout parts and whatnot. The rest I'll figure out as I go. :)
Anyway, no post is complete without pics so here are a trio. Nothing exciting I'm afraid - just proof I actually completed the workbench. :yepp:

TJ-07 tossed on for scale.
Thanks for looking in. :)
great stuff charles :up: I need to rebuild the bench in my basement, the whole thing needs to be torn out really
I've been working on some designs and I think I will have an interesting PM to send you soon :)
Wooo, nice work charles, :up: i have to noticed the price on the tj07 gone up Ģ25 ish in about 3 months and it still going up :(
Nice dining table... err workbench! :)
great work bench, bring one a bit further up north that would be great! ;)
thats the bench i want in my shed lol. Hmmm tool space.
Wow man, you have some serious skill ;)
Hmmm, that stool matches the bench too ;)
Charles,
Great bench but you must get a comfortable chair!:ROTF:
I know you like TJ-07's, but...:eek:Quote:

Good Luck Charles.
no idea if you mentioned this already or not, but is that workshop near 101 national ave. in vancouver?
could you post the dimensions on the bench, this may be my summer project once all the damn snow melts. . .
Thanks for the latest installments Charles. That's an awesome set up and the view is going to make your work look even more impressive. I've always been in awe of your mastery of image and substance. I think I need a murderMod...
And I agree that is an awesome old Drill Press :D
Thank you for the comments and words of support Guys. :)
I haven't been around as much as I'd like due to my current workload. Nils has got me working on many new designs which is keeping me very busy! Zen Frog was whispering something about a mutiny but he always was rather lazy. He pretty much just sits around all day with that hopeful look on his face - like he's waiting for a handout. I told him there are no free lunches and he better start pulling his weight. His arms and legs may be fused to his body but he could at least try to make himself more useful. If he doesn't shape up I'll send him to either Kirk or Nils; both of who've got cats that I'm sure would enjoy batting him around all day.
Speaking of Kirk, we're in the process of moving the North American murderMod shop from Canada to Kirk in Minnesota. This seems like a logical move since the large majority of the store's sales are in the US. The main pluses are that shipping will be cheaper and turnaround will be much faster. We'll also finally be filling out the murderWare section of the store and completely restructuring the sleeving area with the addition of many new products and options. Kirk will also be starting his first two murderbox builds within a week. I've just finished prepping the case mod portion of the builds and have sent the cases to Kirk where he will work his magic and complete the builds. Nils and I are very excited as this is a milestone moment in our business - the first murderboxes in the US! It's going to be a very proud moment; seeing someone else build a murderbox. I know Kirk will do an amazing job. :)
Sorry for the wall of text but I just wanted to give you guys a bit of an update. My schedule has been insane the last few months but the net effect will be many new things to show very soon. :yepp:
Cheers. :toast:
Yes, very near. :)Quote:

charles...as you know im a huge fan of your work and we have talked about parts for the FT-01. any plans on doing front/back plates for them?
keep up the great work as always and now hopefully you will have an order from me soon. i took a break from awesome black to pc's to play with awesome black guns lol but i will be getting back into the modding world soon.
Very nice workshop! That's a million dollar view too right out of the workshop!!! Too bad that wall couldn't be a wall of windows! Anyways, just wanted to comment on your workbench. Looks pretty nice and sturdy. If you do plan on going through with that lower shelf, I might just suggest that you add two more 2x4 crosspieces, one on each side, in those center areas. Just for the extra support! Depending on how heavy the stuff you put on there will be. Doing that, you could probably also get away with a thinner sheet of plywood to save a few bucks! Anyways, I'm sure you've got it under control :P. Thanks for all the wonderful pics!
Mike
:shocked::shocked: Charles I need my fix of murder mod, show us some new stuff pretty please :shocked::shocked:
your mad if you're going to sleeve that bench
:ROTF:
hmm, maybe I should dust off my saw table too :up:
Golly; I forgot about this thread! :hitself:Quote:

I will say that there is a LOT of stuff in development. :yepp: All kinds of stuff. Some things that have already been revealed and others that are totally new. Just know that even though there's not a lot of recent activity, there's a lot going on behind the curtain and things will start making their way to the light of day soon. Doh! there's that word again!
Cheers. :)
I'm pretty sure everyone's waiting in anticipation :)
Hey Charles,
Is there any chance us Cosmos 1000 guys will be able to get a Murder Mod fix?
I hope this means that soon I can give you money and you can give me some of those beautiful res mounts that we've been seeing. Also kind of wish we could get some MurderMod love for us TJ09/10 users(unlikely).Quote:

Charles you're such a tease :P
seriously. I'm about to start my cosmos 1000 customizing (finally, after a year of having the case filled with a rig looking boring and stock)Quote:

I haven't looked closely at that case but from what I can see, there's little room for improvement. Perhaps a closer look is needed. :)Quote:

One day when I have some time, I'll construct a more advanced solution like that of the T-Tracks. Thanks for that link. :)Quote:

Mmmm, noticed the Murderbox store is down.. Perhaps stuff is coming soon
O.O That's right, I said "soon" Oh noes!
Charles, are you going to continue this thread. It's extremely interesting!
hello? has the US store been opened yet? I had sent an email a long time ago and never got a response....
Oh yes ! Charles reactivation in June. I can not wait !
Cheers. :)Quote:

Sadly Charles I could not wait any longer! So I bought a TJ07 and plan on getting it powder coated locally. However if you start selling some TJ07 parts again I may have to jump on it.
hey charles, did you use double tape or glue to patch this?
http://murderbox.com/uploads/mM.FP014.11.16_0016.jpg
i want to make front panel like this so, but i confused to make it screwless like the murdermod :)
that does not look screwless you can see where it mounts to the bays the 4 holes on the sides
i mean the front side of that, it connected to the backside without screw, i thing it connected by a glue or double tape maybe :p:Quote:
