Let's see your workshop

Post by NobleHops »

OK fellas, let's see your workshop! Mine is undergoing a purge and reorganize, is about 3/4 done. This is a photo thread, you may email me your photos if you don't have that skill mastered and I'll post them into your response. So let's see 'em! Show us where the magic happens! :D

Hmmmmm. I'm beginning to think I have an OCD disorder. Here's my garage garage with everything neatly put away. I do this so I don't lose things but like last week when I replaced my steering head bearings I still lost that little triple tree clip that holds the left switch gear wire to the left handle bar. It could be behind the bench or just in plain sight on the carpet. This once graced our dining room in NY but with the move to NC it had no place to go so I snaffed it up and my butt stays warm in those winter months. Of course the complex pattern means that anything dropped remains invisible to the naked eye and only with a military satellite will it ever show up again.

Oh man! I dream of having any kind of work space. As it is, I divide my time between my tiny garage ( but hey, you should see the stream of stuff that comes out of there !), and my workshop in the basement.

Trouble is, there's lately a trail of metal shavings between both areas....my family is not amused !

Best part about the 'Greasy Grotto' in the basement? Well, if there's no room on the floor...there's always the ceiling ( hey, what's that chrome thing with all those pipes on it ? !).

Pics are a couple years old and things have changed a bit but still messy as ever.

Oh you are a bad man STEVE. Too cold for the shop in the winter? Or is this just current decor. Too funny.

JEFF, I swooned when I saw your shop. What a workspace.

Oh, whoops, I was mixing up your shop with Jeff's. Yours looks a lot more like mine than his :-).

For sure, you are making the most out of bachelorhood, but it's gonna be a funny scene when you bring your next GF home for the first time :-). :laughing-lettersrofl:

Jeff, that is quite a shop you have there! I have been told that a shop is never big enough but yours certainly looks huge to me!

I respect all of you for having the courage to photo your shops and show them. I doubt I will ever have a shop that neat.

Thanks Harvey, whoever told you no garage is big enough was correct. At the moment it's five below with the wind chill, we have five inches of snow on the ground with six or so more predicted for tomorrow and my wife's Jeep is sitting outside because there's no room in the garage. :shock:

C'mon Jeff, better make room or Bev will kick your azz.

We have three bays at the house, two are full of bikes, lawn mowers, wheelbarrow, tool box, etc. But one bay bay is open for Mama's car. If Mama ain't happy, ain't nobody happy. :D

Of course. this means my truck is outside. :roll:

Either garage is too small or we have too many bikes. Or Momma's car needs to go outside.

I know, you're right, I'm working on it.

Actually come this Spring I'm going to start going through some of my project bikes and parts and begin to sell some stuff off. Kind of burnt out working on old iron, I'm going to return to one of my first loves which is woodworking.
