RC 18 MT 10-13-2008, 09:50 PM PICS PICS AND PICS!!! Here are the pics. Hope they work :wave::woohoo: Guess I need another page for the rest!:thumbsup:
RC 18 MT 10-13-2008, 09:51 PM Heres more. Forgot what the pics are. Ill explain them in ANOTHER post.. :freak:
RC 18 MT 10-13-2008, 09:59 PM OK, The first and second pictures are of the table itself and where I was pushed to set this up. ( Loft in the garage...). I will be putting flourecent lights above the table soon. As well as the track once i get power and another terminal and power pack. The third shows the table from the view you would race it on sitting. The fourth and fifth show the tables legs. Being that we are moving sometime in the future, I made this somewhat portable. The legs are basicly 5 sets of saw hoarses. I got the brackets for them and built them. ( Along with my step-grandpas help, he helped build all of this) The are held there by the weight of the table alone. Will be putting screws in them soon. The seventh pic is of the sawhoarse itself as well. The sixth is an invention of grandpa. He actually helped me design this so it can use 2 legs on each side yet be 2 seperate tables without screws holding them together. The overlap eachother somewhat and it holds itself up. I think thats kinda cool.:cool: The last is an overview of the table. The best i could get because theres about 6' clearance from the floor to the ceiling. I will post up when I have the track down witch will be soon. hopefully:woohoo:
More pics or description soon,
RC :wave:
tjd241 10-13-2008, 10:02 PM That'll work RC. :thumbsup::thumbsup: Good follow through... keep it up. nd
btw... step-grandpa sounds like a pretty handy (and nice) guy to have helping you.
RC 18 MT 10-13-2008, 10:05 PM Yeah, Im hoping it works out. Its pretty stable even though it doesnt look like it. Just AMAZING!
Yah he is. Hes the only person I would trust to make this table right.
Bill Hall 10-14-2008, 01:01 PM Atta boy RC!
RC 18 MT 10-14-2008, 04:31 PM The Track is up! Here are some pics :woohoo: Some of the other i took are bigger for somereason.. Well here it is. Its isnt screwed down because I would like to be able to change it. The far back left hand corner in picture 1 can be changed into a speedhook.

Bill Hall 10-16-2008, 04:57 PM Get a pint of some "El Cheapo" brand grassy green latex paint. Water dilute it carefully in a seperate container.... dont over thin it ....just so it spreads easy and will soak in.
Probablly find it at aGarage sale maybe...or bottom shelf of the paint store where Joe home owner realized that his wife is right and he really is colorblind. LOL
Then slather up that god awful waffle board ;)
It looks like Joez old table! :p
RC 18 MT 10-16-2008, 05:12 PM Ok Bill, I will try that in the near furture :)
