RC Pit Mats. post your work area

[Senton_Prime]

Groovy AF, man. I’m gonna want to see a pic within the next few hours of your finished orientation on a totally organized pegboard.
Nice bench, man. FB marketplace rules sometimes.

Oh your gonna flip out then cuz I'm gonna cram everything on it just for you!!

It's not the size of the peg board that matters, it's how you arrange the pegs!

It's def all about the pegging!!

Only took me 2 days @Dan B. to set up .. kinda using it as a rc stand right now until I get more "pegs" and I need to get a shelf to put all the rigs on and get them off the bench, not much rn but I'll work on it!! Need a stool as well!!
P.s. don't look at my floors I just ripped them up!!

 

[Dan B.]

Nice setup, man! I think you need a barstool.

Just dropped what I was doing to throw on the ARRMA pit mat I just got!! I did have to cut it down to size..both length and width, I have just enough left over to put it in a drawer!!

Wow, that’s really weird. I never thought I’d ever say, “I have pit-mat envy. My name is Dan.”
Your workstation is looking great, man.
And in the last picture you can now say, with full honesty, “it’s the cat’s ass!”

A little reorganization of the rc and tire walls.

Nice set up buddy!!

 

[Dan B.]

Cleaned 1/2 of the work area, put up a couple more pegboards, and got a bit better organized. This is really a pretty compact area, so I’m trying to be as efficient with the space as possible. When I get the other half cleaned up I’ll post a pic of that as well!
This kind of activity, for me, is a tiny “silver lining” of the wife having Covid. I’ve been relegated to the lower level of the house and darned if I’m not slacking with what I should be doing because my hobby shop is right here staring me in the face!

Also, I still can’t recommend foam yoga blocks for tool storage enough! Just jamb everything in there you normally use and it stays organized and falls right to hand.
MIP’s, other drivers, hex bits, Allen keys, dremel bits, etc. Groovy baby, yeah!

I use the Cow RC magnetic mats & screw catchers. Don't know how i did repairs before i had them. They are great & Heath is a super supportive guy & has great customer service. I have the mats, udder butter, silicone spray, etc & he always throws extra stuff in the box w an order.

Damn dude, got fuel? What about tires? Nice space! Also, I really need me one of those articulating magnifying lights…

Me too! Amazon here I come.

Edit:
I didn't need the magnify glass so I grabbed a two pack of these. Full articulating, 2.3" clip, and 28" long. 1 for the computer desk, and one for my workbench.

I need moarrrrrrr fuel lol… I’ve got 64 tires to prep, and glue as we speak fml.. thanks man-I threw this work area together just so it wasn’t a complete dumpsterfire abortion, and it wouldn’t be straight up depressing while wrenching lol…. Thanks for the kind words brothaman! I grew up around my old man having one from as far back as I can remember. I got it when he passed away the year before last. I’d be lost without it for sure. I’ve got a fire lit under my ass now to empty the entire room out, and do it up proper all the way around. Should be pretty sick in the next couple weeks! Then it’s time to get on the new track!!

 

[nomis38]

So I picked up a two pack of these. Umm yeah im glad I got a clip and not a clamp, plus the clip is huge and will fit any thickness table. But the main thing its 100% full articulating unlike the ones that have two long pieces of metal with joints at the ends. Also as you can see they are very long 36" tip to tip

Love them... $30 for a two pack. One for the work bench and one for the desk...

It's been a long time since I posted anything,
we moved to a new house,
now that the work is finished, I have taken a little corner in the garage for the RC,
the layout is not final but the little maintenance ( 6s shocks upgrade )
that I did on a Granite was a pleasure compared of those few months of crafting on the living room table, I can spit oil
