In case anyone was curious as to why this project had taken such an incredibly long time, this may help to explain.

http://www.lfgss.com/post3105128-2834.html

Just to save any more confusion about the currentness of this project, I'll be getting all the photos up to date here over the next few days. This way you can view it at a painfully slow pace live & make suggestions that could have a chance of being implemented.

Stay tuned..

^ I have some plans for that.

• eventually
  

The floor's painted with this to seal in the concrete dust.

Then covered over with these for comfort. Also to save any expensive tools or parts being damaged when I inevitably drop them.

^^^ Cheers wvm! I'll keep that in mind.

I need to incorporate

• Large L shaped workbench positioned directly beneath the windows ( with storage underneath ) the bench will be custom tall person working height to fit in with the overall scheme of things.
  
• Shelves
  
• Storage for 5 bikes ( in opposite corner )
  
• More shelves
  
• Wall cabinet for woodwork in progress ( none of that happening at the moment )
  
• Turbo & weights, for use during the depths of Winter.
  
• More shelves
  
• The beams look really useful for storing lighter things out of the way too.
  
• & of course no workshop would be complete without a tool board :-)
  
  

Probably a load of other stuff that I can't remember at the moment. About 90% of my wood stuff is done by hand. Power tools tend to get used outside to avoid covering everything in masses of sawdust.

^ Yeah, about 50 different new ones every week ;-)

Think I'm fairly settled on how to lay out the essentials. I don't have a drawing of that though, due to my terrible indecisiveness.

^^ They look nice! Something to consider when the felt starts wearing out I think.

How much did that lot cost you?

how you are planning on clearing that gutter?

It was easy enough to do from the garage window above. You can see from that photo that the gutter's already filling up with eucalyptus twigs.

Steps have since been taken to avoid that problem......

When the weathers nice It's good to drag the bike and stand outside and work on it in the garden.

I like to do that too. Except when I drop small bolts that then disappear off into the undergrowth :-(

^^ Straight to porn.

^ Whoa...!! That looks brilliant!

Gizza go mister :-)

^^ Cheers for the compliment. Have some more pics :-)

It was nice to get some shelter. Suddenly got a lot darker though.

It doesn't leave a lot of room for anything else.

Somebody over on singletrackworld is filling their entire garden with a new bike shed/workshop!

HTFU and buy the Surly Troll!

Tis a nice colour. Now if only Surly would use it for the Cross Check.

It may well be very practical James, but it's also a bit of a looker.

Probably even more so when in focus ;-)

I don't think "orange bike" really counts as a new type of bike that I can justify yet.

^ Thankfully they don't make one in my size,so I can't spend money on another bike that I don't need & couldn't presently afford.

:-)

If they did one in orange, I'd be all over it!

• Can't stop wanting an orange bike :-(
  
  

** Can't be arsed with powdercoating.

I'm sure that this bike could look good with some tweaks. However, set up like this it just looks awful.

Anybody feeling rich? It's a Moots, so I don't dare look at the price.

Bit of a spacer stack there.

Where did you learn to do all this?

Some stuff from my Dad & Uncle, some more through college evening classes. Then I just look things up as I go along.

Can't we have another instalment of pics now please?.

Soon.

I know that it's all done and dusted already.

It has progressed a lot further, but there's plenty to do before it's "fully" functional.
