SEBSPEED Posted June 18, 2009 Share Posted June 18, 2009 That's a great setup Ken, it looks even better in person! :491: I'm striving towards the same type of setup; one specific bike bay with just about everything within arm's reach, and a second open general work area.I'll need a new larger wall so I can put more pictures up of myself and a new shed to store every squid in towns bike that I have to fix. Also need a spot for a kegarator and my 32 projects. I forgot to take pics last night, place is a mess, but I should take a before pic. New bench will be in this weekend & should really change the look of the place!( :fing02: ) Fixed that for ya'. Don't mention it. :cool: :dry: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wera803 Posted June 18, 2009 Share Posted June 18, 2009 Suggestion I picked up from an electrican: Put your compressor on a timer of some sort. That way when you get ready to call it a day/night you don't have to remember to turn it off and it doesn't kick on in the middle of the night. Set the timer for one hour or so - however long you're going to be in the shop that evening.I have had to get up in the middle of the night more than once to turn mine off and stop the wife's nagging. Do they make 230V timers?? I've heard mine from in the house before, but being a detached garage with everything closed up, it's not too bad, even in the middle of the night.

Member Contributer VF1000RS Posted June 19, 2009 Member Contributer Share Posted June 19, 2009 Couple pics of my side of the garage(oh yeah, toolboxes also): The first box I bought for myself probably 20 years ago, says Craftsman in there somewhere. Still use it to throw tools in to take along with me: Rollaway I got when I bought my welder used, had to remove the Argon/CO2 tank and find a spot to store the welder to fit it. Keep all my welding stuff, grinding, Vise Grips, metalworking stuff here: The bottom rollaway I got for Christmas 10 years ago, got the top one the next Christmas, I`d like another setup just like it but black...nowhere to put it though. Welder hiding in it`s shelf waiting for more use: Another view of where I spend alot of quality time, and the front of the Handy Air-Lift with the big Kat on it: What to do with a junk VF750F frame, Sabre radiator, some VF1000R gauges, and some steel: Learn to weld by making a test rig for your spare VF1000R motors: Parting shot. The XR, test rig, bikes, and other stuff gets moved back over so my wifes car fits on her side when I`m not working on something: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SEBSPEED Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 Nice Tom, love the test rig! Very cool! I have that exact same little Craftsman box, minus the stickers. It was a gift a few years ago; that's my travel box for trips or the "save someone from the side of the road box". Always has duct tape & zip ties in it! :fing02: So, after all the talk of the bench & stuff, I finished it today. It needs a little more work, since it's sagging a bit... :blush: I used plywood and melamine board for the shelves and top. I need to add 2 more swivel casters in the middle of the bench, front and back, to support the weight. Then brace the top and bottom rails front and back. I don't want to pull the table back out, so I'm just going to bolt those on. Here's a shot showing it and the other table w/ the 4th lower box underneath, one intermediate up top. I have 2 more intermediates that need a home... along with all the other STUFF that was piled under the old workbench. Good thing it's raining the next few days! :biggrin: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer Old School Posted June 22, 2009 Member Contributer Share Posted June 22, 2009 Well I think Sebspeed wins. Here is my best tool box and I have 7. Sorry for the photos, were taking by a cell phone.

No new tires for it yet either! :ph34r: Not all of the stuff, but most of it was packed away under that old table! Lots of it won't ft anymore, so I have to make room for it upstairs.

If I were going to ride the bike, I would say it still needs tires, chain, oil change, brake fluid flush and a couple other odds and ends. Can't save'em all, right? Glad you like the setup, next time you come up you can be T.B. instead of supervisor, K ? :ph34r: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hate all you bastards............ :fing02: Garageless Dutchy I gotta remember that I`m lucky to have my half of the garage...sometimes complain I don`t have enough room and the wife reminds me what an ungrateful bastard I am....I remember pulling my first VF750F into my one room apartment.

SEBSPEED Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 Rustoleum to the rescue! If it gets scratched, just bomb it again instead of wincing in agony as you reach for your wallet to re-powder... :huh: The Ninja is GONE! It'll be back in 2 weeks for an oil change though. :blush: :biggrin: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SEBSPEED Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 I fixed the sagging bench. I had to jack it up w/ my floor jack to get the wood underneath, and I added two 4x4 supports on the backside between the upper & lower frames. Much better now. Also picked up a Rubbermaid shelf unit at Lowe's today to give a home to some of the orphaned stuff from the old bench. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
