Here is a picture of my messy shop. Gonna clean it out over the weekend and repost some after pics. This was part of a large remodel of the house so I gotta do what I want with the garage from scratch.
- The workbench or table top is actually a repurposed door from the house and installed with two large triangular brackets
- The walls are actually wooden floorboards and re-stained to that color
- Chandelier was picked up at a flea market
- Spin bike I picked up for $150 for the days I can't make it out to the trails
- I use the Gladiator organization system and it installs easily and incredibly strong
- My quiver includes a Santa Cruz Bronson 2015, Specialized Camber 2012, GT Fury 2014, Trek Emonda 2015, and Bianchi Europa 1993 as well as an old Trek Hybrid. I think I got everything covered for now.
- I have a Park stand that I use mainly for maintenance and light repairs. I take most of my larger repairs to the LBS as I want to show my support and simply don't have time or the expertise (though I'm learning)
Looking to put some more organization where I can hang up my tools as I hope to accumulate more. I also donate a lot of my old parts to goodwill or smaller bike shops hoping that they can recycle the parts.
I just moved and even though the house is bigger, I lost much of my garage space........my mother-in-law moved into the finished basement, so the two car garage is holding more crap..."SIGH". Anyway, half of the garage will be my man/bike/tool cave. I am planning it out now. My first question is bike storage.....hanging your bike vertically along the wall...... don't know if that will affect my full-susser suspension (fluid in the fork/shock).....will it place tension on headset bearings, etc? I have considered the horizontal mounts, but won't be able to store as many bikes. OH THE AGONY! Already sold one of my bikes so I will have more space! very sad day.
Sus should be fine... maybe good for it actually. It can help by "oiling" the seals. Hydro brakes on the other hand may suffer if they're not bled well.
Anyway, good luck with the new cave and be sure to post up with any progress.
Here's my new Yost vice! Made in the USA, lifetime warranty, reversible, 6 1/2" jaws, and a swivel base. I got the price down below $250 @lowes. I rebuilt my dad's old reloading workbench to mount this on one end and a Baldor bench grinder will go on the other side. Ttyl, Fahn
Soon to add a bench top bearing press, ultrasonic parts cleaner and a second bike stand. I currently have hanging storage for 9 bikes and about 20 tires. Still need to hang the retractable compressor hose.
Just moved and the new place has a shop area. A blank slate for now, but I have the stand and beer fridge setup... the important stuff. Getting some ideas from this thread.
Well i moved into a new house in my trailer part and got a brand new 8 X 10 shed. I'm currently still organizing and collecting tools and work benches but here is what I'm working with

Are you concerned about security for the shed? It looks way more valuable than typical shed inventory (lawn mower lawn care)
