It's not difficult to figure out what the focus is here ......... motorcycles , American V Twins & some racing equipment thrown in to keep it interesting . I only send out powdercoat & paint , everything else is done in house .

A couple of older pics , 2 or 3 years ago ?, before I changed up the old lighting to L.E.D. . I have re-arranged the floor plan a few times since this picture , searching for the best layout I could come up with in the limited space I have available.

Last winter , after another re- arrange and a lighting upgrade .........

Some times I do arts n' crafts , when working on old stuff , you cant build with a credit card & a catalog , you gotta make your own parts because there isn't any other choice available.

Very nice!

Might as well drop my shop tour video in here too:

There's a few minor changes since this video, but nothing drastic. The parking two vehicles every night in the space forces me to keep it clean and tidy.

Are you planning to incorporate a router table into your outfeed table?

Always wanted me an XR.

 

[Gearhead88]

Always wanted me an XR.

That one is a 1979 Sportster that I turned into a street tracker .

I have a real flat track bike that I raced this year . I jumped in mid season and got six races in .

Both bikes have hand crafted exhaust systems , made here .
The race bike is a Buell 500 single in a C&J specialty racing chassis , lots of hand crafted parts on that one ,& it remains in an unfinished state ...... for a short time , soon it's coming apart for paint & powdercoating.

The Sportster is apart right now , I'm building a stroker engine and the frame is getting powdercoated .

It's unfinished as of December but this is what is happening right now.

Just a touch OT (it's not my Shop, or house), but is this the ideal home?

Less than 3,000sf:

OK, plus driveway & pation if considering impermeable coverage.

Looks a lot like my Brother in Laws shop. He parks his helicopter in it.

Once you reduce the size of the bedroom and living room it will be better

Yeah, I knew it wasn't an original.

Nice work.

Agree!

Only time I’d quibble is every time I do something especially stinky. Or dusty/grubby. Then a different building to house my bedroom and kitchen is nice.

Some how I wasn't picturing the shop for this part.






Thanks for clarifying.

He didn’t say the WC or bath was in the separate building, just the kitchen & bedroom.

Can always make the demising wall sound & vapor tight with no doors; add a WC to the Garage & enter from the outside.

@Gearhead88 those are some great looking bikes. I have always wanted a street tracker!

Id say I have tthe most I could get out of a single car bay. My shop is part of our 3 car garage separated from the 2 car bay by a wall that was installed after we moved in. I still live with my dad as I don't have a very high income, an he has noticed that he makes almost no use of the garage since his truck cannot fit inside. Because of that, he has moved into the thought of removing the wall and allowing me to use the entire 3 car garage.
However currently I have managed to arrange my shop layout in such a way to fit my 24/48 CrossFire Pro, next to my custom welding cart which holds my multimatic 220 and hypertherm 45xp along with the gas cylinders.
My small welding table was used to hold my xtool 40w D1 Pro and my Vevor mini lathe over top of my evenheat lb kiln. I also decided to build my own downdraft table and 3 phase 2x72 belt grinder which fits nicely between the laser engraver and the main work bench which is an old large BBQ table. Next to the bench I have the drill press, a small bench grinder and a bead roller attached to the shelfs. The wall in between holds many tools, metal stock, and safety equipment, and there are several peices of equipment in the space in-between like my 20Ton hydraulic press and my propane forge.
For safety I put together an exhaust system that is above all the areas that I would do welding, plasma cutting or laser engraving, as well as an additional air purifier underneath the heater that hangs from the roof.
All this definitely makes it a one man operation and any additions would be more like replacements for certain machines like my D1 Pro and my drill press.
