For months my dining room table was covered in tools and parts for the cab. I had a small homemade "workbench" that was really nothing more than four 1"x4"s and a small piece of 3/4" plywood. I drilled on top of that to keep from drilling into the carpet. I cut my plexiglass outside on top of my air conditioner with a rotary tool. It certainly wasn't as easy as if I had a garage, but it worked. |

You say it's a college town. Go use the workshop at the college. Then you not only get space to build it, but more tools than you could ever need. If you're not in school just sign up for a continuing education class or something. Even if you never turn in any assignments it will give you access to what you need -- at a price, of course. |

Yes, I am an apartment dweller as well. 3rd floor of course. Finished my cab in a friend's basement. He wasn't sure what was worse--sawdust everywhere or the fine red particles from the 20 year old paint job that we had to sand off to finish the thing right. He's still my friend. His wife ain't too happy to see me however . . . My advice for the 3rd floor crowd: appliance dolley. Go to U-Haul, cost you $10 + a deposit, get the big one they move refrigerators with. Works like a charm. |
