show off your garage / shed / shop

[Firewalker]

well part of why I have not been around here much is I have been working my A#$ off to move up a little. For the longest time it has been a small two car garage. Now I have a lot of room for both cars and bikes alike!

all the more room to do my Uhpolstery work and bike builds

My new workshop progress
12x20....had to relocate the too small 9x13 metal shed to put this new one up.

Ground breaking, deck built, stickwork started

Walls up, windows and doors installed

Workbench built....still trying to figure the storage ideas.
What is the "must haves" mounted tools on your workbench?...This design is a 40" deep table top. Storage bins on the 12' wide wall of course....still leaves room to lay a bike frame on the bench....hopefully.

Moved the bikes in the shop and built the lofts for more storage....need to figure an easier way to get the heavy bikes up in the loft....the ladder is just too dangerous...some kind of pulley hoist idea...one person operation and damage free to the bikes....ideas anyone?

and the other side of the not as deep (only 4' vs 6') loft for additional storage.

Lots to do. Like heating the shop, tool placement, storage shelves, bike storage, shelving....etc workshop lights are in the instalation mode..

Nice shop. You did a good job on that one. I would try for a trolly system. I know a 20' long
iron beam would be heavy , but once installed you could lift whatever you wanted up to the top
and then roll to either side. Seems like Harbor Freight has the trolly part fairly cheap.

They also have those electric winches cheap.

Wow, great shop!
Maybe a hoist for a car top would work?

BTW, my 12 year old said I should be 'jelly' whatever that means....

Cheers,

[Uncle Stretch]

I want to do mine. :lol:
The shop part is 12x20 and the recently built storage is 8x12

Storage for bike stuff

I've been looking at the harbor Freight item. Also it was suggested to avoid falls while negotiating the side lofts I should install a railing.

Thanks for feedback guys.

We'll see how these lifts from H.Freight work out. I just picked up 2 of them today @ $9 ea. Another $9 for a replacement 100' of 1/4" rope to swap out the inferior rope that came with hoist kits. Now to get up in the gables to test it out. I guess Im going to need a hook fabricated to pull the bikes over to the upper deck from the gapping hole.
You guys are going to make a fabricator out of me yet.
Also picked up some ladder brackets to hang the always "in the way" 2x4 ladder that gets me to the loft

[DougTimme]

That is funny about the trike, I thought the sandblasting cabinet had wheels. I thought, that is a good idea

 

[outskirtscustoms]

That looks like the most uncomfortable seat ever. :shock:

You dont sit while riding it, fun trike. Sulley

I've got one too and my kids will lean against the saddle, but I just stand, riding on 2 wheels is lots of fun. One day when I happen upon a free car steering wheel (that actually looks cool) I will put it on the trike and change the saddle to a bar stool top. Mine is rough, yours looks like brand new.
