Tools - check!

Bike - check!

Chillis - double check!

Nice. What bike is that?

Waaayyy tooo clean! He even has organizer bins. What kinda shit is that? Doesn't everybody just throw nuts and bolts in a coffee can and then have to dump it out on the table to find something? :D Nice looking peppers though. What kind are they? I grew Moruga Scorpions once....OMG were they HOT!

I'm thinking he uses those peppers for fuel for the motorcycle.

Tiled floors? Are we having company?

The garage was full of tools, no space for WerkSpace
so, I bought a mobile shop and a shop for the mobile.

$1500 for the mobile + $500 for the new diesel engine.
$50,000 for the shop + lots of money to fix it all up. :cry:

Do you have a score board because your shop is so big you play sports in there too?
I have more questions than answers

So. Much. Space.

That is the goal. A workshop/shed big enough so that every time I see a bike for sale that needs some work, I can roll it in there and just add it to the queue, rather than thinking "I'd buy that...if I had anywhere to put it."

Great stuff, WerkSpace. Living the dream.

Right! I think I'm doing good just to have half a garage! I wouldn't even know where to start with a place like that!

Werkspace, any chance you're in North Texas and need a hand from time to time?

I have just enough space inside for home jobs, but I would really like more concreted area around the doors of my garage, so you don't have to lay down in filth for bigger jobs

My wallet just spun out at the sight of the old snapon truck.
The sneaky bugger even had a take it now, pay it off, scheme, only thing was you always found something else to buy and pay, it never ended.
The 12 step anti snapon ceremony did work, 12 steps down ths aisle of a church..........
Say I do, had over your wallet and testicals, all good now :roll:

Werkspace,
Just what you needed, another project.
Waiting for the finished product, should be good.

Whilst we are on the subject of snap on(not str.. on) stay away from their welding products, The value that the hand tools represent doesn't carry over to their migs/auto darkening shields. A community service announcement.

Agreed. Snapon over here is the same way. The tools are top shelf but they buy welders and welding equipment from somewhere and re-brand them. The mechanic that does my brakes has a small Snapon Mig for exhaust and I checked it out....POS.

My local craigslist is STUFFED with those stupid snap on welders. Everyone is convinced they are made of gold, cause they're asking Miller prices for them. Makes you want to contact them and find out if they are crazy or just misled.

This is my workshop, built in 2013-2014. I am mainly woodworking oriented but I do have a stick welder (Kemppi super kempak, old single phase rectifier from the 80s). All metalworking is done on the concrete plate I have infront of the garage port.

It's the latest pic I got, I was painting the floor here, it's about 30 square meters in size. In the future I will build a 25m2 cold storage shed and move a lot of stuff out there which will free up a neighboring room for more equipment, perhaps a little reloading corner...

We built this in 1999. There's a long short story behind it but enough to say for now that it was my wife's idea to build a shop instead of a new house.

Hey man, if the shop pays for the house, you're doing something right!
