Airplane hangar.

[Kenneth Blackwell]

One concept: A pair of 2x2 pine/spruce vertical rails screwed to the wall. Each rail has 1/2" holes bored every 6" or so. Cut 1/2" dowels to 12" lengths insert these into the vertical rails. You may want to use pipe insulation on the dowels. With this system you can have a wall to ceiling system that is adjustable to just about anything. Of course you can adjust the dowel lengths to your situation. Additionally, you can use a larger dowel...but not necessary for pattern stuff.

Another thing that one can do is to hang the fuse from the ceiling. If you have a suspended ceiling, there are sheetmetal hangers that can be placed anywhere along the ceiling suspension system. Make a loop of string for either end and hang your fuse from the strings.

  Hey,

   I was looking for some ideas on how everyone else is storing their planes in their workshop. I was thinking on making some sort of shelving that could be adjusted to fit different airplanes. Any ideas of what works well and what doesn't work so well would be appreciated. Send me some pictures if you have them.

  Thanks,
