How soupy can I make plaster for pouring? I have a concrete area (about 4" x 12") that has poles and pipes coming out. I won't be able to use a screed and was hoping a soupier plaster mix combined with some vibration for air bubbles, the mix would works its way around everything. 

I've read that the more water in the mix, the less strength it has. I assume once it evaporates, the mold area will not be full anymore. Maybe it will take another pour then? Thanks.

I recently got a fast clock repeater for my NCE DCC system, but it was basically just a PCB and faceplate, intended to be mounted on/in the fascia. But I wanted it as a desk clock on my Agent/Operator's desk and the Radio Shack project box for which the clock was designed is no longer available. No problem - I just made one out of foam core and it came out pretty nice, IMO.

All,

I'm looking for some ideas on how to incorporate a workbench into our living space so I can do some modeling while watching TV or whatever with the rest of the family upstairs. This wouldn't be my main workbench just something to do basic construction on. The main workbench will be in the basement with the paint booth and the layout.

I was thinking of a roll top desk, but certainly open to other ideas.Trying to avoid looking too much like a workbench and more like furniture.

Thanks,

Lou

I've completed my latest CAD designed, 3D printed rail car.  This time, it's a 16 axle, heavy duty drop deck flatcar, KRL164004.
