Whats your workshop look like?

[Hill Wimp]

Ok so lm feeling smug....just finished cleaning my workshop/studio. Found a different (for me) way of storing bikes so here are a few photos and some of 1952 magazines ...sort of relevant and l never get tired of reading about Fausto !!

Sorry, love the bikes obviously but loving those beans too.

The video of Bob Warner's bike shop could have been taken at Madgett's / Freeman's / AP Cycles. The common factor being that the propietors are all warm, friendly folk who appreciate every customer who walks in through the door. Go in even for something simple; say a pair of brake blocks; you'll be in there for at least ten or fifteen minutes - !

Please do share.

How do l go about sharing a dvd please advise a computer illiterate !

Just to show that the workshop isn't just somewhere to go and hide, I have been making a green oak porch for the house. Here are one or two selected shots:

Looking very nice indeed, is it your house or are you on job, if so lucky punter . Oh yes and not forgetting very decent brickwork !

My house. I'm an architect, but I've been renovating and extending this place (which is 300 years old) for 3 years now. It's been a mega job, and if you're really interested, I can link you by PM to a complete blow-by-blow description on another forum.

Oh, and thanks. I've laid every brick, too.

 

[Hill Wimp]

That is beautiful work.

I guess the finish cladding will be feather edge boarding or t&g maybe ?

I'd think 'wany' edge at least, if not Lime render.

 

[MikeG]

Lime render. I'm rushing to do the porch so that we can render the front before the weather turns.

Hold on a minute, so where in this very nice looking workshop/garage is your welder and workbench etc.

You've got a bloody car in there. How do you find room for the lathe and the Bridgeport?

Only make small parts, so have a 7x12 inch lathe.

Jealous of some of these...but it's not the size, it's what you do with it that matters

My conversion from junk-filled cellar to workshop...

1) As it was

2) Cleared out

3) And painted..

Then a bench....

...and a tool board...

..and some bikes....
