Ohh!! Christmas has come early (or late?)

Looking good Phil! Are you just renting a space in an old warehouse?

[phil744]

Basically yeah, a good friend has started a moulding company and he has no use for the offices, so i pay the equivellent floor space in rent and keep the offices and i have an option once the sim is complete to move it onto a floor above the offices, we were measuring it out today and it will give me a projector throw of 18meters!!!

So is that how you got those excellent knobs?

[phil744]

haha, no those knobs are 100% casted but i have a couple of quotes for tooling, might sound daft but its cheeper to soft tool for knobs, switches and annunciators rather than just buying them and i have free time on several moulding machines and fully qualified to use them so you never know...

Phil,

Looks like you wont be struggling for power looking at the power strips on the wall

Good luck with it and keep us informed!

Cheers
Mike

great space you have for the sim there- and with the warehouse attached- maybe thats an excuse to build a motion platform!

Hehehe, motion platform, ive allready put my name on the 300amp consumer unit outside!!!!

Dont think my landlord will be too impressed when i nick the hydraulic system of one of his moulding machines

I'd feel I was missing something (like my airplane!) if I built it off-site away from my home.

Nice space you have there though.
