Hi everyone, I am currently making a imo pretty cool hobby table from a storage rack in my garage. Once its complete ill be able to work on my helis use it as a paint booth and whatever else i desire. I am currently still at the beginning stages of it, i have cut out a piece of 3/4" partical board so the lip of it would overhang and then screwed on a piece of Aluminum angle iron on the front edge to make a complete look on it then bought some adhesive yellow measuring tape from Hobby Lobby & stuck it to the inside edge of the aluminum. Tonight i traced out and taped a 15x15 Helipad that ill be hopefully painting tomorrow white with red "H" in the middle of it just for the fun of it, i also added an NFC tag right in the middle of the helipad that you wont be able to see once ive painted the whole thing. After i get that all painted im going to place some RC Helicopter Brand names around the entire bench that ive made and printed out to make it a kind of collage look once those are all in place i will then cover everything in a thick glossy clear coat of Polyurethane to protect it all but still be able to see all of it and work on top of it. I will keeep adding to this thread as i go and include picture aswell if i can figure out how to. Any input, ideas, or suggestions are welcome.Thanks Tom
This is my bench that ive hung a fluorescent light up and put a fan in front of the window.
you can see the little round white dot in the center thats the NFC Tag. for those that are unfamiliar with NFC tags they can be programmed to scan with your NFC Enabled cell phone to make your cell change settings, go to a url, or whatever. So when i go to work on my heli i will be able to place my cell in the middle of the heli pad and set it to make my cell turn on my bluetooth and open my music player to play music if i wanted to while i work, and i could also set it to make my status BUSY so i dont get bothered by people if i wanted to. They are neat look them up. Or for instance if working on my heli i could program the tag to take my phone to RC-Help.com so i could look through the help files on what im working on.
