I 'd love to have a workshop to service all of my vehicles, but living in an apartment is difficult to do so.
Going thru topics in VFRD, I saw quite numbers of very nice and well arranged workshops.
May you please share with us how does your workshop looks like? How do you arrange all the tools and equipments, what are your recommendation, DOs or DONTs for a private workshop?
Thank you.

I have a small shop in my basement where I can comfortably work on the bikes year round.

^^^ Nice.. That would be sweet! --- I have a cramped one car garage that shares space with a lawn tracker and the yard tools, not really photo worthy, but its enuff to set up one bike at a time to work on.

So nice and very well arranged workshop, Johnmark!
Should you put on the walls some of your photos with your metal horses while riding or meeting with friends!?

Workshop shares space with other miscellaneous items in the garage. The only tips I can offer are plan for electrical outlets and lighting, you'll need more than you think, and mount anything you can on a mobile base so you can move things around. Oh, and leave room for a mini-frig for the beer. :biggrin:

Multi-function workshop looks busy huh, vfrcapn!
Is there any issue i.e. you are enjoying jogging and smell the oil and gas from a pending repair job?

Mine is a mess. Between working on bikes, cars, house projects, too many damn tools and not enough of the ones I need.
