For a short while longer, anyways. Getting started on building a new shop now.
Outgrown this one. I need more cnc equiptment, looking at getting a Swiss Lathe and a big milling center this winter, and don't have a way to get them in this building.











Wow, what a great machine shop! Needless to say, I hate you............ ;D
I was feeling sorry for myself because I couldn't afford new bike boots, until I met a man with no legs.

So I said, "Hey mate, you haven't got any bike boots you don't need, do you?"

I wish I had and knew how to use those.



This is my current mess. I have a cancer Trent outside where I work on my cars the garage area is only 3/4 so a full size sedan would stick out. Perfect for motorcycles.

WTF is a cancer trent Steve? Anyway, I love your tombstone tail light, I had one on my first K1 in 1981, I think I'll buy another one and put it on my current K1. ;D

It's time to wake this one back up! 

I've done some rearranging and reorganizing since we bought this garage (and the attached house) three years ago, and the best change is the floor coating.  My wife got it for me for my birthday, and I put it in late last Summer.





The new pad for the bikes, and the new (old) mini-quad.




The garage entertainment center used pretty much exclusively for playing old video games and watching MotoGP.

If you can't fix it with a hammer, it's an electrical problem... If it's an electrical problem, it's Cal's problem.

Here's the shop as it stands now.  I am having electric upgraded to house/garage tomorrow and have some friends lined up to help me insulate, drywall with ghetto taped seams, and mount shelving. 

goal is to get rid of most floor standing shelving units and have ones that are mounted higher so that bikes can be parked along wall.

Lol where to start?!  Random old boat on the ground next to the pigpen?  Concrete Culverts near the plum tree?  Portable water tank under the weeds?  Spare parts tractor that doesn't actually match our working tractor?  Surplus Appliances kept "just in case"?
Bunch of (mostly) useless #$%* around the farm lol.

I just took those pictures today, and that's not even "cleaned up" for the photo shoot! 

I can't work in a cluttered space.  The inside of the house is a completely different story. ;D  The garage is the one place I have complete control over, so I overcompensate.  It's my therapy.

It's fcuking easy Scunny, if like me, you're a motorcycle and tool hoarder. I've got 4 fcuking big industrial bench drills, but I only use one, it's just that I can't throw the other 3 away........... ;D

I was feeling sorry for myself because I couldn't afford new bike boots, until I met a man with no legs.

So I said, "Hey mate, you haven't got any bike boots you don't need, do you?"

I store my bikes in our walk-out basement in the winter. I also do small jobs there. For anything more involved and requiring more space, I can use a friends' business shop.
