Sammy's Scale Garage

Here's a short clip of my scale garage. As usual, it's still a work in progress!

After seeing jj650's pedistal grinder, I just had to add one!





Any of you guys old enough to remember wood creepers?

This is a little better way to show my garage. Looking at all the great scale work on RCC has inspired me to keep working on it.

Here's a shot of the rolling table the garage sits on. The table is about 50 years old.

As you can see, it is also an excellent work space.


The "storage room" is actually functional. It opens from behind and houses my paint supplies.

Just finished up my welder. The welder and helmet came from RC Mayhem Garage. I built the cart with styrene and the bottle with a spent CO2 cartridge from a pellet gun. I made the wire spool using an LURC servo winch spool and some 26 ga. wire from Michaels. Still waiting on some chain (from China) to secure the bottle.

Superb job on everything man! The wooden bench top add a lot of character to the garage floor, IMO, I really like it. Have had similar ideas with trying to make a welding unit. Nice execution.

May I ask the dimensions of your shop? It looks to be the size I'm wanting to redo mine at. As I'd like to turn it into a work/garage/Photo booth area and yours seems to be the right size to pull that off in.

Looking forward to seeing what's up next!

Thank you! The garage is 72" wide by 30" deep. The floor of the garage sits 38 1/2" high. The walls are 20" high.

This setup makes a great photo booth.

I added a number of new goodies, so I wanted to post a new video.

Built a hand truck with styrene today. Still needs paint. I'm thinking gray or blue.

I decided to go with gray on the hand truck.

What did you use for the wheels on the hand truck? Thanks in advance.

For me, wheels have been the hardest thing to find.

I got these wheels and the wheels for my welder cart at a store called "Norm's Dollhouse" in Denver. These were unfinished wood, so I just painted them.

I would have liked these wheels to be a little taller, but you have to work with what you can find!

Looks fantastic Sammy

1:64 scale Matchbox trucks have some decent sized wheels that would work well and also have some unique center rim designs to choose from to give it that added extra "detail".

LEGO's also have a few different sized wheels and tires in that smaller size range

Killer build, keep up the great work!
