894tom Posted March 9, 2008 Report Share Posted March 9, 2008 I couldn't get any help so I did it myself. I custom built this workstation and box to carry all my watch tools in. I tore down the 6497...and more importantly, rebuilt it. All is well. Gonna purchase the taller cannon pin and be done with it.

TeeJay Posted March 9, 2008 Report Share Posted March 9, 2008 Looks freaking awesome Now paint a Kryptonian 'S' on the front, it's the perfect shape for it (for the uninitiated, the 'S' on Clark's pyjamas is the Kryptonian symbol for 'hope', so a rather fitting blessing for such a tool/workstation) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

894tom Posted March 9, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2008 Dont know how that happened....sorry for the tiny pics. I cant get them to blow up. Any tips on getting them to blow up will be appreciated. A little info on the work station. The shape was designed keeping several things in mind. Positioning of the lighting. Tools pushed back and out of the way. An extended portion of the desk to bring my work area close to my chest. Height. When the front and back of the desk are clamped together, the hieght prevents neck and back pain. And lastly, a mint green color for contrasting the sand grain sized screws when I ricochet them off the backboard area of the desk. The foam felt lined cutouts were done by me also, but my girl and her best friend did the sewing of the felt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
894tom Posted March 9, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2008 Cant see the details but would buy one in a heart beat Just out of curiosity....this same idea was suggested to me by several friends who saw this desk in person. How much do you think it is worth? Curious to see if it would be worth my time to build them for RWGers. Just puttin out my "feelers". Its a great way to store all my tools and gives me a portable work area and I figured I would not be the only person who would like this idea. I couldn't find anything like this on the net, cause I was gonna buy one if I did. Again some things are better handled on your own so I just built it. Took about 1 week to build this prototype. I think the layout is perfect for a service station. For more techincal work you obviously need a bigger work location with more tools but this will suit me for all the work I will need to do.

894tom Posted March 9, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2008 (edited) Nice workstation. Pics are too small though, cannot see the details. pics came out fine on another watch forum, but I don't know if I am allowed to promote other sites on here. Thanks for the kind comments. Please feel free to post pics of your workstation!!! Can always use new ideas. Edited March 9, 2008 by 894tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
