What to do with my Workshop!!

[Kiwiavenger]

well, in a few weeks time (once credit checks etc are completed) i will be in possesion of a 3 bed semi with garage and a workshop!!

now, PC building, bike restoration or something else!

i already have at least 1 bike i can try and restore, an old Claud Butler MTB that could do with a strip down and rebuild (see what i can save off of it!) or i can use it for building PC's and repairing them (self taught but my PC at home is stupid fast or little money or time to build!) or something else entirely! i do have a warhammer collection that im looking to improve on, so may buy bulk lot jobs from Ebay, strip the paint and then either repaint or sell on for a little bit of cash.

the choices, the choices!! lol

Illicit hooch distilling is pretty lucrative, I've heard. I know a place up here in the Pennines where it's happening a couple of miles from a main road.

Just don't blow yourself up like those Ukranians did a year or two ago, all you equipment must be flameproof.

Ever think of growing cannabis?

Well a bike workshop would be the obvious choice.

But a general purpose workshop, with some metal and wood working equipment and a good bench, would allow a number of activities.

Space to store and service the bikes without 'other' peoples crap getting in the way - they can use the garage instead.

Just let it evolve into what it will...don't try too hard to 'fossyant' it, otherwise you'll need three vaccuum cleaners (v+1 starter kit) + one to keep the other three free of dust.

The atttached garage will have my car and a few racks on the walls ready to take bikes, the workshop has 4 double power points, heater and light all on a seperate ring (and RCD box) to the rest of the house!!!

i will be raiding my dads garage for vices, hacksaws and other usefull tools that i currently dont have.

Build a big Scalextric track.

You missed out the Mr Sheen supply !

i do have a raftered garage so maybe a ladder and model train set? my little boy seems to love model trains so could be interesting!

Go to a few car boots and autojumbles, and look for a really decent old bench vice - the sort you bolt down to the bench. An old one will be much stronger than something modern of a similar size, and might be had for £20.

I'd go with NT's suggestion and keep it as a all-purpose workshop.

Any workshop with a heater deserves a decent armchair, then you can consider your options in comfort.
