Let’s see your work shops
 

I’ve seen a few amazing work spaces lately, thought it would be interesting to see some more shops or work spaces. I built this 16x14 shop just for bikes and projects. Hot in the summer and freezing in the winter but I spend a lot of time out here. I’m slowly running out of room.

That’s huge! Plenty of room.

I only have my garage, so I had to use every space as efficiently as I could. Luckily no SO at the moment.

The bike storage side. Room for 20 lining the shelves.

Other side. Need to reclaim the bench top.

Components neatly organized so that I can easily tell I have too many groups...

Mine's in our extra-length garage, as are my riders. Overflow bikes are stored in the basement. The shelf above the workbench has boxes of tires, rims, a few wheels and a frame. More wheels hang between bikes in the basement. Stand hangs out against the wall with the bikes wne not in use.

It was more of a lounge, but one of the kids took the sofa, I made desk and while the downsizing has been moved from 2025 to 2026, I'm still getting ready for it.

Normally this is in the "dancefloor". I took it out to make the pretty pictures above.

Spares are under the stairs. More space to the right you can't see has wheels and tires.

Just one drawer in the chest for dedicated bike tools. Along with others that live on the stand.

Here is mine, I work in my detached design office in the rear of our house.......So I would say that it's a multi-use space, I meet with clients and draw and build models there.
Recently, I posted a few pics of the additional work that I completed, overhang and small deck that I can use when the weather is good here in SoCal.

Best, Ben
P.S. I am in the process of downsizing, I don't want/need another bike.........REALLY!.:D

My only criticism is that you don't have enough superfluous and redundant bicycle components that sit unused. Just kidding...awesome space.

Interesting coat rack. Need a 53cm Nishiki Tri-A??

I vaguely recall being as neat and organized as you all. Nope, I don't. (envious)

Nice shops, all. I'd like to post mine, but it looks more like a dump right now.

That's because you can't see what's in the bins! :lol:

As much showroom as shop...looks like a great place to hang out!

Fixed cup removal

I have a Bike-Hand stand, but sometimes my 'workbench' is best...

https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/bikefor...e115373fb9.jpg
Kinda a mess. Worse now.

To the left of the cone wrenches is my Sheldon Brow fixed cup removal tool. I have needed it twice in the last 20 years.

Got one of those too. Works really well especially with an air impact wrench.

I operate on a principle of maintaining maximum entropy. Anything I move makes it cleaner.

I have big plans for making it cleaner and more organized someday.

So that is why the lava lamp is plugged in?!

You folks have a lot of bikes. I’ve sold off or donated half my fleet as I really only need 5. No room in my basement for more, I think I have 6 right now until I sell my old rim brake road bike. I did organize my tools though, that was well worth the time and money,

jdawginsc,
The "rack" is a store mannequin that I picked up a a local flea......Regarding the offer of the Tri-A, did you see that I am trying to downsize? Dave may be in the market.:innocent:
Best, Ben

Andy, What kind of racks are those and where did you buy them?
