You'll have to take my word for it, but there is some bike stuff in there. :lol: This summer, after our wedding, I hope to finally get it organized and finished. |

I don't see NPR coming to Canuckistan to interview an aspiring frame builder... but the folks from Momentum have been in touch as they want to do a spot on people who use vintage bicycles as their daily drivers.
Or maybe I will featured on an episode of Hoarders some day. |

That would be an amazing hoarders episode!! Keep buying and filling up that space. To increase your chances of coverage, would you consider those shows that do "interventions?"
I only have 12 bikes. This is what I do so it is not a hobby shop and quite a few of those rolling antiques get used for display and educational purposes... a few of the bikes are loanable for when people drop off bikes for work (and need a lift), and my primary bikes number 4. These get used for most of my riding throughout the year. I also have a dedicated touring bike, road bike,mountain bike, and a tandem. |
I browse through this thread and the only thing that comes to mind is: "Horders, the BF version"!!!

House we're buying has a 16'x24' manufactured steel building. I'll need to pour a concrete pad and put in electric, but I'm excited! Will be storage for bikes, shop area and I will move in my trainer, treadmill and elliptical trainer.

I don't have a dedicated shop in this house yet. For the current project, I'm set up in a my home office.

Oh, your poor stand looks like it's being bent by the astonishing weight of that bike.... Yup it's working pretty hard. I had to call the manufacturer just to make sure it wasn't going to brake the arm off or something. |
I don't have much space to work with so I have a music/bike room. I store all my tools in a crawl space under the fake fireplace to the right.

http://www.enchantedtaos.com/images_...41_4711_lg.jpg Give it a good think and make as much stuff as possible freestanding so it's easier to adjust down the line as needs change. My space is pretty bare bones at the moment (a lot of stuff yet to arrive) but I know it will fill in pretty quickly. I've only worked in it about 2 weeks but I've already made changes. |
Our garage.
The TJ and FJ40 parked nose to tail on one side. http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5103/...88dfe3fa_b.jpg Opposite side, where I can actually work. http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5186/...73141d4e_b.jpg Overall shot. http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5221/...d8fb755d_b.jpg http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5146/...ba6611cf_b.jpg http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5264/...3b703849_b.jpg Bike stand. Bought a $12 halogen light from Lowe's and mounted it on the rafter for increased light in the work area. Also did the same for each of the dart boards. http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5181/...697431ce_b.jpg Bench tools that make a mess. http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5225/...1268923e_b.jpg The P90X area/kids dart area.. http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5145/...be7c518e_b.jpg |

I'll put 8 miles on this one at a time. That stool was an art project for college. Two 20" wheels that were trash from the LBS, some used crutches, about six tubes out of the trash at the LBS, 2" foam, some 3/4" plywood, then a few carriage bolts, screws, 3M spray adhesive, and staple gun to make it. They're simple to make. Here's a shot of the bottom of the seating surface. |

Cramped, but it works:

I hear you. Even with dedicated space in my man cave shown on the first page, my recently completed first build was done in the warm confines of a spare room... with my wife's permission, of course.:thumb:

+1 on the stool.
Here's a shot from March 30th - before I organized. Several bikes on the floor while I worked on a Schwinn frame for one of the mechanics at the LBS. http://a5.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphot..._4085008_n.jpg |

Got my wheels organized and have one more rack to build... require one 2x4, some 310mm spokes, and a few lengths of worn out chain to hang it up.
http://www.ravingbikefiend.com/bikep...pwheelrack.JPG Got the mountain of stuff on my desk sorted out today as well. |
@sixties fever
