Sorry about somewhat  off topic, but I was looking for ideas/tips/tricks for things to do in my new  hangar.  I built a new pole barn type hangar with insulation, drywall, etc  on my house and was looking for ideas of what others have done that has worked  out well.

  

 So far I have built  in compressed air at multiple locations, speakers wired into the walls, plenty  of electricity and lighting, cable, and internet.   I also have a  sink.  I was going to make a little FBO area with a couch and TV for when  I'm working on the planes and for when others come to  visit. 

  

 Just looking for any  ideas of what others have done to store parts, tools, nice additions, things  that worked well and even things that didn't work well.  Now is the time  for me to incorporate ideas before there is too much stuff in  there.

  

 Thanks,

 -Mike  Kraus

Geez’s mate – that sounds better than my house – when can I move in J  

   

The only hint I’ll offer is “put everything on wheels” work benches, the lot!  

   

Cheers

 Bathroom?  I didn't, and that makes me walk back up to the house ..... where most of my distraction occurs.

 I'm not sure that this is a good thing,  When I'm working on my planes I don't want to be interrupted.  It makes it difficult to pick up where you paused to be sociable.  I got bit once by that very scenario.  And all that interruption isn't conducive to getting tasks compleded.  Sounds like you have a 'den' with compresssed air!!!

 I built shelves to organize the stuff I don't use often, and have pegboard filled with hanging tools.  Easier to find a wrench when it's on the pegboard rather than all mixed up in the toolbox. Those tools that don't lend themselves to pegboarding .... still reside in the toolboxes.

 Good point!  I built airconditioned rooms and used the 'roof' to put my shelving and storage areas above.  A winch hauls a 'dumbwaiter' up/down so I don't have to carry stuff up a ladder.  I also have all my large tools (tablesaw, planer, chopsaw etc. on wheels so I can get them out of the way when not in use.  Ditto for all my RV-10 stuff, including the large crates.  I do have really heavy stuff .... lathe, mill, bead blast cabinet and hydraulic press are against the back wall ...... they don't move.  I haven't run air yet ..... hoses work well from the compressor anywhere in the building because you end up with a hose plugged into the wall anyway.

Mike,

 I built a shop inside the hangar so I could build all year long. It's 12'x25' and 8' ceilings. I used 2x12s for ceiling so I could have storage above. Metal racks for parts on 2nd floor with wide steps for carrying parts. The shop walls Do Not connect to the hangar walls (they're free standing). If you connect the shop walls to the hangar walls, then it'll "creek" when the wind blows. It's got a 'window' type heater aircondtioner (essential here in Texas) in the wall at one end. Cheap ceiling fan in middle to save $ on ac. The bottom 1/2 is drywall, the top is all pegboard (easy to hang tools,etc.) The quickstart florencents (for cold weather) are about 2' from the wall so I don't get shaddows on the benches. (don't put them down the middle). Put whiteboard at one end so I could keep notes to myself (I'm old). Airsupply in the middle w/ enough airhose to reach the ends of the shop. Bench next to airsupply has holder for rivet gun/drill/squeezer, etc. Quad outlets about ever 6' (never have enough outlets). Put plastic parts bins for nuts/bolts/etc. on wall. Computer desk so with my parts inventory.

   

 Mistakes:

 1. Even tho I've got double doors in the shop to get the fuse/wings in/out, I forgot to calculate the width of the gear. So I had start working in main hangar now that she's up on the gear.

 2. Had to add a window toward runway - so I could watch planes.

 3. Should have put main hangar light switch next to shop door for when I leave in the dark.

  

 Hope that helps. 

 "Jerry"
