Thanks Drillbit! I figured you'd be halfway done the emp by now.  I will be headed out to Cali next weekend, San Fran area though.
I printed out the order forms tonight, just have to fill it out and fax!

Remember to submit the form we got from Jack for a discount. I hope it's still valid!

Another way to do foam is to get some that's thinner than you want, from a place like www.uline.com, and lay a single layer down. Then get a second layer, cut the outlines all the way through this one, and use spray glue to glue it to the first layer.
Uline's rolls are plenty generous for this. Overly so - you might want to get with some friends to share a roll.

You guys must be really young.
All this talk about foam and a nice organized tool box is a complete waste of time IMHO, my guess is too many tools will end up following you home over time, and now where are they going to live?
That's been my experience anyway! However, I do make an attempt to organize the piles in each drawer... the slot head screwdrivers on one side, and Phillips on the other. Most of the torx live in my motorhome toolbox, the allen wrench screwdrivers are scattered in the top of the main one, as are the really tiny screwdriver sets, some are on the pegboard, some are in drawers of rolling worktables...
The key is always put the tool back after finishing the task, before starting the next. If I don't I may not find it again!
My shop fridge, however, is very much like yours, but with more light versions!
Enjoy your project!

Damon, I think you might be on to something. I am procrastinating about finishing those foam cutouts. Major PITA!!
I did get the workbenches finished though!
From what I am hearing this is plenty big enough but I would prefer a bigger space.
Ordering emp on Monday. Garage doors come Tuesday. Trying to knock out the honey-do list so I can concentrate on getting started. Seems like there is alot more work to do around the house in the spring also. And I am going to have to go fly the Tweety before he gets any angrier! He is always watching me!!

Do this first. Fly the Tweety. I didn't see you in the air today thought you were sleeping. Good job on wheeled tables!

I agree with Ed that a computing device will be invaluable.
My preference is a tablet. I hav an iPad and it snaps into a RAM mound on an "extension arm" in my shop. I load PDF files in the iBooks app and I load VAF articles, and other web content into the InstaPaper app. Just as an example, I now want to build a couple EAA1000 benches so I googled, found the instructions and loaded those into Instapaper. I now have the build instructions available for off-line use. I have done this often - autopilot wiring diagrams, maintenance checklists, FWF instruction suggestions, Pierre's control surface locks, etc. when I find a good idea and suggestion, I load it into Instapaper. When I find a PDF of a manual or instructions I load it into iBooks.

Lol, sorry Glen! I was the one drinking. Took me a minute to figure out what you meant. I do plan on using an iPad in the shop.
