Mine, a constant evolution. Almost everything here has been sold or traded and has another rusty Tange road bike in its place

I've been away from C&V for a long while.
but what a timely thread, I just cleaned up the man-cave and sorted my wheels and workbench.
I'm envious of some of the posted workshops. It's like Bicycle Disneyland.

Wow. I'm envious of some of the level of organization & spare bike parts.
And nice building Sixty Fiver - you own that?
My shop, mostly sawdust manufacturing, but some vintage bike & bicycle work done here too:

-1 on Lone Star. Tests have shown that Pabsts Blue Ribbon has a much better lube factor.

I spy,
A Delta Unisaw,
A Camelback drill press,
A Boice Craine or early Walker Turner bandsaw?
A Dewalt Radial Arm saw.
And a 50's Craftsman Scroll saw.
Some nice old iron there.

Not really a workshop. Just some old bikes, a cool hat stand, and some logs to talk to. When I feel like talking. "Shut up log #1, don't you see me posting over here!"

So that's what those RubberMaid hook things are used for and how they mount. I've been seeing them in local thrift shops.

Bicycle Repair Man !!!
We rent the main floor of the building for a song and I share it with my friend who runs a courier company... it's a nice match as messengers need to get their bikes serviced somewhere.
The shop is a part time venture (for now) and a place where I can also work on my own projects in a warm toasty space... the frontage is awesome as we have immense street traffic and it's only a few km away from my home. The work I have been getting has been paying the rent and putting a little extra money into my pocket so that makes me pretty happy.
There is a possibility that we will be moving to an even better space right in the heart of downtown and if that happens I will really be happy as there are a lot of downtown commuters who might like a convenient drop off location.

Lots of winter projects..........It's gotten to a point where I have been forced to start getting more organized. Slowly but surely getting there.

Many nice workshops here, especially those that see plenty of use, yet remain neat and organized.
When we moved to WA. in '07 we started with a clean slate and were able to set up a bike area with plenty of room, lots of shelving and a solid workbench. (My wife thought I was building a B and B bunkhouse. LOL)

Wow, those are some amazing shops, and y'all have accumulated a ton of pieces parts. I'm partial to Hambone Slim's as it looks like my Dad's and Grandfather's shops looked when I was a kid. I've got a Delta 10" contractor's saw, Delta 14" wood/metal bandsaw, Delta 15" drill press, Delta 24" scroll saw, Makita 12" slide/tilt miter saw, RIDGID 13" planer, and cabinets full of old hand tools. Unfortunately, the MG displaced the wood shop, the scooters displaced the MG, and the bikes are starting to displace the scoots. Here are a few of mine. Extra points if you know what the steering wheel is from. (It isn't MG)
The canned beer has been purged, the ones from Maine are long gone as is the Killians, and it is refilled with the good stuff again.

I figure I needed to represent for all us apartment dwellers. Workspace in the living room and storage space in the stairway of our loft. The hangy thing on the wall was made from an old set of oak desk drawers and a coatrack.
