Hi all

After spending all of my spare time and money for the last three months finishing the loft conversion "Man cave" i have now started on building the frame work for the table. as all my wages are tied up in boring stuff like bills and morgage i took on a small private garden job to finance this build. its not much but it keeps the project rolling along. i was going to wait till the project was futher along before posting this but could'nt wait.

I hope to keep the post updated each week with plenty of photos

My mancave

The basic shape of the frame, needs to be bulked up a bit

hope to get abit more done over the next few days

ps having probs with my pictures can anybody see why

the img tag is wrong [ img ]http://your link goes here [ /img ]

The URL needs to be between img tags, img first and /img last.

Easiest way to do this is to use the "Insert Image" button above the text box when posting.

Nice Man-Cave! I think the tables look great, and love the clean wiring!

Wish I has that much space and head room in my attic, looking forward to seeing the track progress.

For some reason I had it this was a routed track
Maybe it was all the nice wood support work

Hi GT40

No not this time. still trying to get to grips with the whole digital thing.

 

[GT40's]

whats the black and yellow thing on da floor?

 

[raikkonen_webber fan]

nice work
i like that you cant feget the tv
one of the first things i spotted

 

[grimboracer]

that would be a perling. part of the roof suport. To raise the floor to hide this cost to much money

so i covered it in trip hazzard tape that i borrowed from work

 

[GT40's]

Are you planning on doing scenery and have you a theme in mind? Sorry for all the questions its just youve done such a pro job on the wood supports it makes me think your gonna spend lots of time on this track

 

[grimboracer]

oh yes

lots of scenery, big pit lanes the works have a idea in my head. as for themes, a moden day race track or mountain road race track, maybe a bit of both.

Looks like a great place to play

The only essential thing I don't see in your photos is a fridge?

Cheers

Don't think it will be much use to them when you take it back
