Lets see your shed/workshopI was wondering what the rest of you guys and girls have as a shed/workshop.
I'm looking for inspiration for my workshop. So show the rest of us what you have in your shed. What bike stands Work benchs Heating/cooling Tools Entertainment Sorry I dont have any pic of my shed as it just a mess at the moment, but I do have a slot car track set up, basic woodworking tools and just picked up a potbelly stove. Post your pics and show off your castle.
Re: Lets see your shed/workshopI am super eager to see where this thread will go. I'll update it tonight with a photo and details
GOALS FOR THIS YEAR
1. Save up for a JC70 Recumbent Trike 3. Rack up a lot of KM Training 2. Attend 250km Bupa 2013
Re: Lets see your shed/workshopOnly just completed this: (double garage conv.)
![]() Hung bikes on the wall with Feedback Velo wall racks. Each arm individually adjustable so you can level the bikes. Feedback Pro Ultralight work stand tucked away between the cupboards All the tools, spares, junk food tucked away / hidden from the missus in the cupboards. Just need to get a tv and couch in there...
Re: Lets see your shed/workshop
That sir is epic. I love your wall. Care to disclose your Spares and Junk Food Inventory (and stock levels) with us Are the bikes particularly difficult to get off from the wall? That is a dream workshop indeed. GOALS FOR THIS YEAR

Re: Lets see your shed/workshopAh. I was thinking of a thread like this and was just waiting to take a picture of the workshop in a tidy state. I used to have a rule that I wouldn't start work until the shop was clean; consequently, I never got any work done, so I dropped that rule.
I'll add to this thread as soon as I get home from my tour. Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk 2
Re: Lets see your shed/workshopI used to have a pic of my bloke space, AKA my side of the garage. Basically 2 car garage, wife's car one side (with her gardening things), other side for my playthings which used to be all bikes, but they're basically sold now and replaced by 2 motos. Workbench is our old kitchen bench from reno's a couple of years back, so lots of bench space and the overhead cupboards and under bench cupboards give me plenty of storage. Cupboard doors and shadow board has magnetic tool holders so that all often used tools are visible and easy to find.

Re: Lets see your shed/workshop
Nice setup! I am in the planning stages for mine. Sadly, don't have quite that much space. Where did you get your workbench and cupboards? '11 Lynskey Cooper CX, '00 Hillbrick Steel Racing (Total Rebuild '10), '09 Electra Townie Original 21D
Re: Lets see your shed/workshopIf I could see it, I'd post a picture, but I've got about 3days worth of tidying up before I get to a state where a picture will look like a workspace and not a junk pile. When the car is in the 2car garage I have about enough room to swing half a cat.

+1, that setup is amazing. When man invented the bicycle he reached the peak of his attainments- Elizabeth West.
Re: Lets see your shed/workshopDugy,
That is awesome!!!!!!!! great work.
Re: Lets see your shed/workshopIt's just not fair when the first entrant blows everyone else into the weeds.
I suspect Dugy of using PEDs, but it may be that I am just jealous I was going to buy a fast, stylish bike, but I looked in the mirror & thought "you're not fooling anyone, you know"
Re: Lets see your shed/workshop
Cheers. Shelving, cabinets, benches were all from DMD Shelving in Bibra Lake WA. Not as good quality as say Boscotek, but cheaper. However better quality an cheaper than the Kinchrome or similar stuff sold at tool shops. Where's the Bianchi/Pinarello garages? Or are they kept in glass cabinets in the lounge room?
Re: Lets see your shed/workshopWas going to post a pick of mine, but after seeing that I'm too embarassed. Awesome effort, you'd never be in the house. I ride several bicycles, but not at once.
Re: Lets see your shed/workshopThat's going straight to the pool room.
Re: Lets see your shed/workshopWell, it's not as pretty as dugy's and you can't play pool on the bench, but it holds up a can of Guinness pretty well.

Re: Lets see your shed/workshopMy bike shed is 1.5m x 3m with 5 bikes (2 road, 1 wife's mtb, 2 kids), 2 scooters, a bike trailer, a bunch of camping stuff and a stack of wood working tools. Sometimes, if I'm really lucky I can walk more than 1 step into it. Requires me to remove several bikes first though!
My woodworking shed is similarly cramped. 2m x 3m, with a long bed wood lathe, workbench, floor standing drill press, Triton 2000, disk sander, grinder, bandsaw and dust collector as well as all of the other stuff that one seems to require. I have more tools than space, that's for sure! I've been tempted to give the woodworking away and use the space for bikes (not to mention what selling all of the kit would buy me at the LBS Love that double garage conversion. The pool table just says it's all, really I'm impressed with funnybikes as well. Well laid out, and well equipped. Looks great. 2011 Orbea Onix | Giant Defy Commuter | Giant XTC 29er
Re: Lets see your shed/workshopMy shed is quite basic by comparison to some but here is a little idea of mine that seems to work OK
SWMBO did not like the Ikea knife magnet that someone gave her so i "requisitioned" it for workshop duties... Recent Favorite rides:

Re: Lets see your shed/workshopMy shed, where I go to get out of the house for an hour or six

Re: Lets see your shed/workshopYeah yeah Dave, and how long would your lovely titanium linksey last in any of those machines

Re: Lets see your shed/workshopMy shed is often occupied by pesky rolling stock, so it's a shared resource.
