Upgrading the track (Part 1)
Purchased a bunch of wood and supplies in the afternoon today and started on the newest project. The plan is to have the straightaway on a second level so the space under it could also be used for the track. Have been thinking about this forever, was just drawing up the plans and thinking of the most viable way. At first I thought of using chains to suspend the track from the ceiling, but after a visit to the local hardware store, the chains alone ended up costing too much. This new design utilizes wood beams for all the supports which is much cheaper and stable than chains. It also has a second function that will be integrated later on. Can't wait to finish it and see the final product!

Jcee. where is these photos being taken?
ReplyDeleteLeon, these were taken in my basement.
ReplyDeleteAt first I'm like is this what i think it is...? No it can't be.... then after I read Jcee's reply I'm like ...... WOW! Can't wait to see once is done! It must be great to be able to race in your own basement....
ReplyDeleteI'm so envious that you have such private space Jcee and to think your parent allow you to have the whole basement just for your hobby. >.<
ReplyDeleteYa I am lucky that my dad is also addicted to this hobby as much as me, maybe even more! This was actually his idea, I just did the actual planning. It's a great father and son project haha
ReplyDeleteThanks Yamisword! Yes, it is really awesome to be able to race in my own basement. It used to be really cramped because of the huge track, but with this new leveling, it shrunk it down a bit so the whole basement is much more roomy now.
ReplyDeletewoow...your basement sure was large ^^,, I can't wait for the final touch
