Show Us Your Workspace

February 25th, 2008 by Arleigh Jenkins

Back in January I moved my workspace from a garage to a spare bedroom. The spacious 2 car garage was wonderful but it was so COLD to work in when temperatures go below freezing. I moved my tools and about 70% of my small parts into our smaller spare bedroom.

Here are a couple photos of my current setup.  I still have most my bikes, wheels and tires in the garage.  This summer I’ll spend more time making it more of shop quality but it works for now and there is heat.

What does your work space look like?

    Fixedgear, can I live in your workshop? That’s awesome!

    I have my repair stand on my back porch…tools in the kitchen, parts and tires in the shed out back, and bikes scattered all over my yard under tarps. It’s an ugly, messy affair, so I won’t share photos.

    Arleigh, your “shop” is coming along nicely…but you could use some artwork or something on the walls to pretty it up. Looking forward to seeing more of it!

    my work shop takes up about 1/2 my whole-in-the-wall apt, consisting of a Topeak floor-to-ceiling rack, an under-BB stand and a 5 teir plastic self unit. 3 wheelsets against the wall.

    Good news I am upgrading to a Real work bench with a seat post clamp mounted to it. out on my porch for the summer. :)

    My work space is indoors, too, as are the bikes since we are garageless. Not quite as tidy as either of your set ups, but I’ve got space for a peg board, I’d never thought of it. Consider me inspired.

    Arleigh, can I put your pictures up on Flickr? I have a group there dedicated to Park Tool(s).

    Sure, just invite my photos and I’ll send anything you want!

    Man, I’m pretty jelous!

    My workshop basically consists of a battered toolbox and a shared back garden. Not a lot of heat out there in the Scottish winters…

    Yes, but you have Scotch whisky to keep you warm ;-)

    Well, that is true fixedgear. I’ve tried that in past though and it leads to backwards saddles and whisky lubed chains!

    Colin-

    what happens with the regular chain lube?
