Show me your garage/workshop

[MitchMotors]

I'm curious where you guys build and maintain your bikes.
I've seen some pictures of bike builds in fully equipped workshops while others have build their bikes in city-centre appartements.
So, what does your men den look like?

I have a 2.5 x 5 m garage (that's about 8 1/4 x 16 1/2 feet) that I use with a friend of mine for about 1 1/2 years by now. Some shelves, a tool cabinet, a workbench and a self built motorcycle bench on swivel wheels.
Works pretty well for us as long as we manage to keep everything tidy.
Before, I had a similar garage with another friend who was a mess when it came to keeping stuff where it belonged.

When there's heavy rain we have water problem but the landlord is trying to solve it.

And since it's sometimes too cold to work on the bikes in the winter, I have enough time to run free on my slight case of compulsive orderliness

Nice, dig the foam fittings. I work in my friend's garage, which he has handsomely equipped with tools because he does all his own car maintenance. When I'm working at home it's the parking lot behind our building. Looking forward to getting a house with a garage in a few years' time.

messy separate two car garage in the back of my old house. (old roommates still live there)

Things get messy and disorganized, then we clean and restore order.... only for it to go back to messy and disorganized 4 weeks later.

have a few old couches and beer fridge

Here's my "workshop" for 7 months of the year

Lots of space when the neighbors aren't parked back there too. I store it at a friend's garage (unheated) in the winter.

One of these days I'll have a garage...

Mitch - I dig the old school skateboards. And nice job on the build. I'm looking for a good way to heat my shop this winter it's about the size as yours and cinder block walls with no insulation. Can't put in a wood stove due to fire codes

I have the same problem. No way to set up a chimney.
A gas heater uses so much oxygen that you get heavy headache after an hour.
I thought of buying a "Sirokko diesel heater", product of former DDR/east germany/german democratic republic but haven't yet.
Those things are loud as hell but a friend uses on in a shop 10 times as big as ours and can work in a t-shirt while outside there's snow you can redirect heat/fumes/both via hose

Aparently it is possible to customize a Webasto heater (often found in caravans and/or motorhomes) to run as a stand-alone unit.

This is where I work on my bike...my friends workshop. Without this shed, I would be doomed...
