The murderMod Workshop

[charles_h]

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

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.

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.

Wow, thank you for taking the time to say that; I really appreciate your kind words and support.

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.

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.

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

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

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.
