bench work progress
Posted by thatboy37 on Monday, July 10, 2006 12:21 AM
well i have some good news and bad news. my nephew and i finished the tabletop or benchwork tonight at 11:30 and the bad news is i want beable to start my track laying until i get my revised track plan from the guy who is desiging it for me or i could just free lance and do it myself but that would be a waste of my money that i paid to get it designd. you know im going to and a little more stuff to what he designed just to add my little flavor to it. but here are the finishing touches to the benchwork or photos i shall say.

heres my nephew putting in the last screw in the table top:



here are 3 different angles of the room good pictures but i can do better i was a little tired you will get better ones later, but the banch work is made out of 14 & 1/2 4x8 plywood sheets that are 3/4 inch thick. 28- 2x4x8's. 44- 2x4x45". 74- 2x4x39" the braces have not been added yet as im to tired to do them tonight. but overal i think i did a great job. but cant wait to start laying track. hope you like.







until next time peace

Congratulations on getting the benchwork done. One thing you can do while waiting for the layout plan is to read up on some scenery and also wiring. You will get your hands into both. I have the CTT books on both and they are good starters. I was able to aquire lots of plaster cloth material from the hospital (not stollen, it was extra to be tossed). My garage looks like a storage facility for FEMA with all the items I have waiting to be put to use.
Good luck,
Dennis
PS; Don't forget the board is going down for a few days for upgrade
