Kitplanes New Photo Contest - Show Us Your Shop!
 
Now that you have all chosen a winner in the "Camping With Your Plane" photo contest, we've got a new one for you!



Our next photo contest topic requires you to show off your workshop. As homebuilders, we're partial to well organized shops - they help us keep the project on track and it's no secret that many award winning airplanes came from shops that reflect the builder's desire to impress. Send us your photos of a workshop you're proud of! Big, small, neat, or not so neat - let's see where your bird is being built.

Head HERE to submit your photo today.

(Please submit only your own photo and send the largest file size you have. One entry per person.)

Remember - we'll take nominations for a few weeks, then put the staff's favorites out for a general vote! A $25 gift certificate to Aircraft Spruce is at stake (not to mention your pride in your shop).

Aww, just a couple of months too late. My shop is currently being disassembled and moved into uninviting storage while I prepare to build bigger and better. The riggers come tomorrow to move the big machinery.

Hmmm, could be why it's taking me so long to finish my RV. :rolleyes:

Well, I surely don't have any dreams of having mine judged at Oshkosh, so maybe that's got something to do with it. :o

Good luck with your contest, Paul. Maybe seeing other shops will inspire me to get mine back in production! Maybe I should submit a "before and after" pair of photos. :)

Hah. Me too. Although, sometimes you find that your purpose in life is to serve as a warning to others...

And then there are a number of us who have converted / confiscated rooms outside the garage and basement as "shops". :D Vlad's not the only one. I no longer have a room in my condo that doesn't have parts strewn about and tons of shipping boxes. So much for "well organized".

This doesn't qualify as a shop anyway. It's been ten years already wow! :D

It's seriously been a decade already??? :eek: You're going to make me take pics of my "shop" when I get home now, Vlad!

Yeah I'm not tracking with this contest. Most every wants to see the fancy pantsy Good Housekeeping shop/man cave w/ big screen tv, wet bar and oh yeah a shiny solo project; my reality is every piece of lawn, garden, automotive, and machining what-not is sharing "aviation space" on the well stained concrete floors......hardly magazine material.

I sure hope the best doesn't mean the cleanest or most organized! I didn't put everything away after each work session or clean the floor very often. Don't take this wrong, it wasn't a "mess" just not a showroom! Mine had lots of tables and tool platforms on wheels and stuff like that.
