|  Open shop night?
I'm just about finished with my new R/C shop located at 90th and France in Bloomington. Just wondering if there is any interest in an "open shop night"? If anyone is interested post up here. The shop has most everything needed for working on Rc's, brazing, welding, soldering, painting, cutting etc. If there is any interest? We can make the shop open just about any night of the week, it's located just a few minutes from my place, I can run over about any time. Yes Storm and Jack, it's fully wheelchair accessible  I will also have a decent pile of rocks located just outside the shop for a test area, and I have plans for building an indoor test/crawling area as well. |

Troy I will call you after work. I got my stuff ready to rock out. Emaxx is charged and I think I got some new Pede Beadlocks from RC4wd here too! Oh, and tell your puppy to drink some extra water. Ryan |

Congrats Troy! Let me know when you get a lathe and a mill!  If you're young enough to pull a all nighter here and there i'd be up for a road trip here and there I'd even supply the malted adult beverages Be good place to start #3 project  But only if Kev keeps the French maid outfit put away! |

I have a crude mill, it's called a drill press Eventually I'd like to get some kind of lathe/milling machine, but for now, my sponsor Eritex has a CNC if I need things done, I'll go to Gerame As for all nighters, just about any Fri-Sat is fine for me. Anytime, anyone needs some space to work, extra tools, or some help, just post up here. The shop is always open to anyone/everyone. | |

I'm open to most any night that works for others. People just need to post up. The shop is 3 miles from my place, literally less then 5 minutes for me. I'll probably be over there Fri night, and most of Sat this week, but can go over pretty much anytime. | ||

| I took a couple pics when a few of us got together at the shop the other day.   And while there, I witnessed one of the rarest sightings ever... Baller wrenching.  I think he actually changed a tire... all..by..himself.  |
