Your Home Workshop
In the next few months I'm hoping to put a larger shed in my garden as a workshop so i'm looking for ideas. I did a couple of searches and the past people have post pictures of their work shops but now the links are either dead or missing and the pictures don't show...
So how about people post some pics of their workshops along with a brief description hopefully including the size ect..If you live in an appartment or are otherwise short of space, I'd also be interested to see how you work on your bike in these circumstances..
Regards,
Pete

It's well equipped, but I could use more room. The cabinets are the old ones from the kitchen. There is a large air compressor outside in a cabinet. It's in a garage with no windows, so I have a lot of fluorescent lights. It's never as neat as in the picture.

I'd be worrried about my tools rusting in an unheated shed.

Mine is always hidden. My basement is a warehouse for my on-line business. I park my bikes down there and the repair stand is normally there with them. When I work on the bikes, I move the repair stand to the area where we pack orders. The large tools are on pegboard on the wall and the small ones are in a tool box I keep under the packing table. It isn't ideal but it works. A picture wouldn't help. Good luck with the project.

Thanks for the replies and that is a very nice set up you have there Dritdrop!
Damp/Rust is certainly a worry as you say, particularly if i move my reloading bench into there as well..I suppose I could also keep my hand tools in the house in one or two tool boxes and then take them in as I need them...
