[Zw_Roodbaard]

wait.. how do you get in ?! i only see one door! so mysterious!

That's one good question there my friend :P I didn't thougt about that

[dualbrain]

They raised the wall after he entered the room. Now he can't get out anymore, but that was my ... eeeeh ... their idea

[hiiyah777]

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!

[64dragon]

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

[charles_h]

Charles, that's amazing.

I'm afraid you have just taken yours/Nils' business to the next level!

I can't wait to see the room pimped out with Nils' drawings! he has some talent!

I think that this picture -

Deserves a BIG print out with a nice frame to be the FIRST picture on your wall, it's amazing, I can't imagine how happy yourself and Nils are with the new 28story high dungeon!

You guys continue to impress me and everyone here EVERYTHING you have an update, it's like there ISN'T a perfect because everytime I say, "That's perfect," the next thing you do is even better! I don't know how you do it.

I'm looking forward towards the coming updates!

Thank you James.

That sunset was really something! I actually took 400 pics which I know is insane, but it just got better and better.

Guys your mods and ideas are just amazing. I wish I had your skills and guts to perform such great jobs. Maybe someday, when i get my hands on Silverstone Tj07 or Ft01 . Keep up the good work, and have as much luck as possible in creating new concepts and selling them to people who will be happy with their rigs, because they are so great.

Thanks for the very kind words Muki.

Awesome view! It will make a very nice outdoors photo studio.

Daniel.

Cheers Daniel.

I can't wait to take some pics up there - I just need to get the table. Your case will be the first to be photographed.

Cheers Marin.

Wow! Things just keep getting better and better Amzing photos as ever Charles!

Thanks Henry.

Good to see you have your own little space now Chaz....I think you are going to be so much happier up there with all that room to do your modding in.

Awesome shots btw

Thank you Daniel.

I can't wait to get the room ready for work!

Well that's a big difference then the view i'm looking at :P

You've got a nice photo place there, actually I'm a little bit jealous....

It's much better than the place I used previously... believe me!

wait.. how do you get in ?! i only see one door! so mysterious!

hehe, good catch Rocky. The entrance is to the right of the cardboard boxes.

Where did you hide the garden gnome collection?

They're not hidden... they're in the back garden where they belong!

damn awesome location!! looks like it will suit your needs :P

Indeed! Cheers.

CHARLES, now i will hate u .....a little bit.

hehe, Cheers tamtam. Excellent use of emoticons to tell a story!

That's one good question there my friend :P I didn't thougt about that

I'll take a shot of the entrance... I warn you that it's not very interesting.

They raised the wall after he entered the room. Now he can't get out anymore, but that was my ... eeeeh ... their idea

When I move to Germany you can entomb me, until then I'm FREEEEEEEEE!

Now put some carpet on that floor!

Cheers Jason.

No carpet - makes for harder cleaning of tiny metal bits. Don't worry; I've got my bunny slippers for when it gets cold.

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

That's what I love about it - looks like a subterranean lair from the inside... then you open the door and POW!



murderShop Update:

Whipped up the murderBench in 3d. Nothing fancy, just something solid.




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.

[SNiiPE_DoGG]

what is this wood your using??? I want waterjet cut, gutted TJ07's to construct the murderbench!

[dsecrieru]

Now we know why his name is 'Harwood' .

[Jaivan]

Damn i didn't know you live in Vancouver until i saw science world lol...great work man

[xguntherc]

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.

[Stage1Ocer]

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.

[dualbrain]

They're not hidden... they're in the back garden where they belong!

Sorry Charles, but it is not a garden ... it is a shooting range.

Hey...watch it now, those are my cousins!

hehe, have you seen the price of TJ07s lately? If the price keeps going up I'll have to have them transported by armored car!

Now we know why his name is 'Harwood' .

Actually, it's funny how often people spell my name Hardwood.

I guess it's better than Softwood.

Damn i didn't know you live in Vancouver until i saw science world lol...great work man

Thanks Jaivan.

Thanks Habib (I'm assuming that's you). It's been my pleasure to help; I'm glad to hear you're making good progress there.

I hope you're planning to do a worklog of your upcoming TJ-07 project.

This explains a lot...


murderShop Canada Update: Got the main workbench finished - coating the topside with Minwax Helmsman Spar Urethane took a few days, what with all the coating, waiting and sanding. 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.












TJ-07 tossed on for scale.


Thanks for looking in.

[SNiiPE_DoGG]

great stuff charles 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

[bentleya]

Wooo, nice work charles, i have to noticed the price on the tj07 gone up £25 ish in about 3 months and it still going up

[dsecrieru]

Nice dining table... err workbench!

[Jokester_wild]

great work bench, bring one a bit further up north that would be great!

[Bertross]

thats the bench i want in my shed lol. Hmmm tool space.

[dingdong555]

Wow man, you have some serious skill

Hmmm, that stool matches the bench too

[theseeker]

Charles,
Great bench but you must get a comfortable chair!

[retrogamer1990]

TJ-07 tossed on...

I know you like TJ-07's, but...

[dualbrain]

Charles,
Great bench but you must get a comfortable chair!

Please remember - he does not have time to sit! It is just for guests I guess ... and that is clever, because they won't stay that long. Well planned Charles
