That's about the same plan I have. Tear it apart and assess the situation. Then decide how to put it back together.

How many have workshops...and how many are working mainly outdoors? I am outside, vise lag bolted to a tree stump, battling the elements, letting the neighbors laugh at me for the millionth time,lol
I'll have visions of sugar plums in my head tonight...

I have a bench in a storage shed with a vice and a small bench sander and bandsaw. Generally work on bikes outside. Not a shade tree mechanic though, as we have no shade trees. [emoji16]

Some work in garage, some on driveway and probably most in backyard under shade and on patio. The shade tree work lets the dogs spend more time outside. The Beagle likes to watch the work. More elbow room out back. Tools are portable.

I work mostly in front of my TV with cheesy movies playing in the background.

No problem.
I used to be outside, then a bench undercover, now I built a workshop, this is my first build-off using it...
Ditto...I see a bunch have sprung up...time to start checking them out
My wife recently just sold her last horse , so I have been slowing converting her old digs into my new work space . Bike barn .
This is easily the 2nd ( only slightly behind 1st ) most exciting day of the build off.
Three stalls to hide bikes and a tack room to store tools .
Man, you guys are fast. Quite a few built threads posted already!

Well, it's 34F and snowing hard, not quite a blizzard but the ground is white, again. There is still a lot of snow where plows and drifts piled it up and the side road that were used for snowmobiles are still a frozen slushy mess. I can't bring myself to go outside to the shop to take pictures to start a build thread. My enthusiasm has wained. I'll read by the fire.
I feel you, my northern friend. We have only 40 and cold rain here, no white stuff. Still not really inspired, but I do have a propane 'ice shack' heater in the BACK40 to take the edge off.
Start your thread with some story telling, and a pic of your fire....

The blurry spot in the photo is a humming bird sticker on the window to keep birds from crashing into it and dying.
Question - sorry!
I have a frame that I traded for that is not stock.
I am not a welder so it is as fabricated as it’s going to get.
I will enter into whatever category that the moderators determine is appropriate.
It’s all about the fun of the build and being inspired by other’s ideas for me.
Please advise. Let the games begin!
