Your bike workshop

[sam]

Be it a corner of your garage, a shed, a dedicated facility built to your exacting specifications, wherever. Here's mine:



i.e., the great outdoors.

Looks as if your workstand is absconding with your bike.

Ordinarily, the work stand is erected on the spot from where the photo was taken.
To the right, is the remainder of my work shop.
There's around 1.2m of floorspace between the worktop and the desk.

Do you have a deck for those NAB tape spools?

[Jurek]

Sadly not.

Yes, it's thinking "If I can just flip over, this getaway will go much faster."

This morning I noticed I had left a replaced chain on my workshop floor. Have decided to let it become site-specific art through the medium of oxidation.

Next time do the seat bolt up a bit tighter, and the bike won't fall off it.

If we're talking workshops . . . cycling one side, woodwork on the other

How do you keep the sawdust off the bike side?

How do you keep the sawdust off the bike side?

I have some pretty powerful dust extraction (it runs in trunking under the wall cabinets) with hoses and blast-gates to connect machines (the mitre saw now has a "box shroud" round it)
There's an air-filter/catcher on the ceiling that fires up when machines and the extraction are running, then continues for about 15  minutes
My 3 bikes that are stored there hang up on the back of the front doors and have covers slipped over them
It all works pretty but the cycle side bench/tool wall gets cleaned with a Henry if necessary

. .  and a lot of the sawing I do outside on a knock-down bench, using a track-saw.

believe it or not, this is "tidy"

Right.  I have just a Screwfix 45€ vacuum cleaner on the far side of the wall on a remote control, with ~8 metres of hose that hangs on bungee cords from the ceiling and gets shifted to whatever tool I'm using as appropriate.  A bit makeshift but largely functional. You can see this wonder halfway down on the right, connected to a plane.



For woodwork I mostly use the second bench in the middle, with drill, bandsaw and bench sanders on roll-out trolleys on the left.  There's a bike maintenance corner on the right at the back.  The carpet's a bit tatty but it keeps my feet from freezing in winter.

Truth be told, I haven't felt much like doing woodwork for 18 months or so.  There's a few things I'd like to do but I just can't be arsed.

eBrute at the front.
