This is a dedicated building that is my do-it-all workshop. I put it up in stages, hence the weird roof lines, for about $8000, doing all the labor (free). It is off-the-grid, with solar power and wood heat, and about 750 sq ft. I built it like a house with full insulation, dual pane windows, wood floors (for the knees), and lots of natural light.
It looks like a lot more than just bike wrenching happens here, but lately the demand for expensive custom wooden boats have dried up a bit.. |
These pictures are an inspiration.

I live in an apartment, but luckily my parents are kind enough to let me have a corner of their basement.

Seems as though I'd rather post pictures of my mess than clean it up! :p

Now I can start getting more serious about maintaining and restoring bikes. |
well, mine isn't nearly as sophisticated as some of the ones in this thread, but we rent, and i've only been wrenching bikes for a few years now. we're lucky we have full use of the basement considering what we pay in rent in this city:

if your friends; spouse or significant other gives you a hard time for your cr*p then show her~him~them these pics and say: "Dear aren't you glad I'm not this guy!" BTW the outdoor shot is my bike stand ... car rack tied with rope to my patio railing. Hey, it works! |

My relatively large workshop has become a small workshop with a large bike and frame storage area... Its a walk out basement on my house, dedicated to bicycles. OK, that is an Escapade motorcycle trailer in the background, and a Handy Lift hydraulic motorcycle lift serving as the workbench in the foreground.
900 sq foot area became a 50 sq ft workshop, and 850 sq ft bike storage. I need to come up with a better place to store bikes. Pretty much out of freakin' control right now... http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4008/...a752f50c_o.jpg http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2667/...44f9704e_o.jpg |
