Let's see your shop

[HAIRSMITH]

One half of a 2 car garage but its enough room until all your friends come over to HELP !

Some projects do over flow to the other side

My shop just got squeezed tighter by putting the Mustang away for the Winter.

I'm under the same squeeze:

I'm under the same squeeze:

A modest digression: Mary put her 2008 away (flanelette sheets and official car cover with trickle charger keeps it cozy and clean ..... away from all that bike deris in the other half) and is driving the '96 for the winter. What is the white one? - Bob

The white one looks like a '67. That's my favorite year for classic Mustangs. And, it even has the "good hood" as I call it. The plain hoods (without the lovers) are boring, IMO.

It's a '67, Originally... I've rebuilt almost all its mechanicals over the past three years.

Our house has two adjacent one-car garages. My car is in the other one.

What is that sweet vintage airhead you show there?

What is that sweet vintage airhead you show there?

It's my '71 R75/5, hard to believe I've had it for 30 years...

 

[roborider]

I lost my cycling virginity to a 75/5 with long wheel base! No wonder it caught my eye. Like looking at an old girlfriend!

 

[The_Veg]

Indeed. It's all up from here, right Ben?
Has to be.
Hang in there!

Thanks Wez & Steve, it is indeed all uphill from here. Can't wait to give my toys a proper home again.

 

[roborider]

More nice vintage iron. What's that?

 

[RSPENNACHIO]

Wow, you guys have really given me some great ideas!! It funny, yesterday night there was a craftsmen tool box comercial on tv. All I heard from the peanut gallery was "wow, your tool never looked that good." "Daddy, your stuff is a mess compaired to that guys!"

Alright the challenge is on. Reorganize the tool box (and buy more tools). Add a drop celing and more lights. Finally add a wood burning stove.

Yeah, that would make winters more fun for sure!

If you think that the snowthrower thread uncovered some hidden dangers so does that wood stove. I used mine for about six years, lots of cigars and adult beverages consumed in the crackling glow (when talking about not working on bikes). However, one shooting spark can ruin your day. I kept all flammables way on the other side behind a wall, no gasoline cans hanging about; LARGE fire extinguisher hanging within reach ... .... and all this is with an air tight stove...... but there is only one way in for that wood eh. It is nice though even if a bit of a concern. This year we put Mary's Mustang in there so, since the wood stove is older and thus not up to code, I disconnected it so that we would not have any insurance difficulties. I use propane this winter but, for the most part, I am just waiting for Spring and moving that car out into the warmer weather. Also, just because you have a wonderful toolbox it doesn't mean that things won't continue to be distributed as your daughter/son described Just ask anyone who know me! - Bob

Good thread!

If I had a shop, which I don't, I'm not sure that I would know what to do in it.
I think the ability comes before buildings and what have you.
I am impressed, proper facilities what?

I went through the drill of designing the perfect home once... just a mental drill really. Essentially it is an efficiency with a 4 bay garage. The garage will have a lift, a pit, a big screen TV, of course every tool one can imagine and... most importantly a urinal.

I totally agree but until that glorious day that I get that item ..... this will have to do - Bob

currently, as bike is in new england for the winter and i'm not paying to rent a spot:

see that fork tube top cap on the top of the tank. that DISAPPEARED, i never found it on the street, couldn't find it lodged anywhere on the bike, in the frame, engine, etc and even later when i took the bike apart significantly, it never showed back up. WEIRD, HUH???


from this summer, sorry for the dirty bb pic.
