New workshop space coming up!
We are renting a friends house in January while our friends are in Dubai for the next 5 years

I have not had space like this for the better part of 10 years, no sob story as I am more fortunite than others, more looking forward to having ALL my stuff in one place that is not a garden shed some space under my wife's ex husband and our house!
Getting a Park TS2 in the next couple of months and a bottom bracket tap, and a few other bits and pieces like a bench grinder, drill etc, have not had the space to set up a work bench either so it will be nice to set up fully.
I got back into hi ten and cromoly 10 - 12 speeds again lately so I am looking forward to getting many, many bikes in the coming years

This is my new work space, for building my bikes. In all but the truest sense, this is my "man cave", complete with dirt floor, exposed bedrock, spiders and lots of other creepy crawlers. But it is cool (literally) and smells really nice, as the breeze from the lake carries its coolness, laced with the smell of my wife's garden flowers, wafting through my work space...


I am in the process of redoing my cottage foundations, digging to bedrock, pouring footings and then adding the vertical supports. This sucker will not move again, in my lifetime!!!

Randy, I like where you are heading with this, I look forward to not tripping over bike stuff . . . . I could get rid of some? Nonsense, utter nonsense.
i hope to build some furniture as well, I have been thinking of a simple yet sturdy dining suite for a while now, I should have the space to set up a bit of both, wood, bikes. Done.

I have such organizational problems- I always think "if I had a way of... " then I figure that out- then there's something else.
Best of luck in getting it put together awesomely!
