[RBW] Re: Let's see your shop and workbench

[Pete B]

Thanks Paul, PATC is great. I just pay dues and rent a rustic cabin once or 
twice a year. 

My favorite things about these shop pics are little details like a toolbox 
sticker, or Eric's license plates, and especially, seeing what list members 
with limited space have cooked up. I wrenched on apartment floors, outdoor 
decks, and then in a overstuffed 8x10 shed with no electricity for many 
years. My current setup is about 8 months old and it's more comfortable and 
convenient, but it's not *cooler*. I'd love to see a Riv-ified version of 
the foam-lined-toolbox-and-repair-stand minimalism of event mechanics.

Thanks everyone for sharing pics and details and such. It has been great 
seeing everyone's work areas and set ups! 

Nice work on restoring that Snap-On box, Pete! Really cool. 

Wow, sharp eye, Paul. Took me a minute to locate the PATC sticker :) 

And get that vice up, Kieran! ;)

Yes, although I have a decent workstand, for cleaning chains etc I more 
often just hang bikes between a pair of ropes which attach to eyebolts on 
the opposite walls.

Seeing some of these bike collections makes me feel like the few I have 
aren’t such an indulgence. 

As for the Russian River Brewing Company, we have several customers in 
their immediate neighborhood and I’m in that area occasionally. I generally 
stop in and pick up some beer. 
I’ve tried quite a few of them and I really like their Happy Hops. It’s a 
single IPA there’s also another one called row 2 hill 56 which is the 
location on a hops farm where the particular hops is grown. 
Another plug is for Altamont Brewing in Livermore CA. I delivered some 
machinery there the other day and went home with some of their brew. The 
Maui IPA is their flagship brew that they built their brewery on. 
Great group, I’ll definitely go back. Likely on bike and take BART part of 
the way home. 

It seems like a lot of microbreweries have good relations with local 
cyclists. 
It would be nice if public transit improved to the point where more areas 
were better served.

Most of us don't know about Pliny the Younger because the Russian River

Let's call it a gift, then. I regret not getting a coat of semi-transparent

Robert, I dig the multi-use table. Nice job with your first bench build! A

Yeah, Max, lubrication is critical! I've never had Pliny, always run into

I’m not showing pictures of mine since it is currently hidden under a bunch of

I’ll be setting up the workstand in the house and building it there for now.

[RBW] Re: Let's see your shop and workbench

[Eric Marth]

This is sweet! I like your bike and bench rotation, George. And envy your 
proper work stand. Those Ikea cabinets are a big bang for the buck. If 
they're not Ikea, well, even better, probably! I had been eyeing a friend's 
old steel paper cabinets from the USPTO, thought they'd be good for tools. 

Sean, that's a nice one. Glad to hear your bench is still going strong a 
decade in. I like to thank my past self when I find stuff useful later on. 

Philip, old shop sounds great. AC and heat! My grandfather cycled through 
many partial vehicle restorations, mostly VWs (several Bugs, a van, even a 
Thing!) and also had a dune buggy for a while. Not sure of the make. I do 
love the wooden Felo drivers. Stripped mine of the factory finish and 
rubbed 'em with boiled linseed oil. Super great handle shapes. I have a 
single no. 2 JIS Phillips driver for when it's required. Congrats on your 
pending Clem :)

That's a really nice set up, I use those same IKEA drawers as 
storage/printer stand in my office. Sensible size compressor too, if you're 
not looking run a die grinder there's no need to go any bigger than that. I 
like how you have summer & winter homes, sort of like heading to the 
Hamptons or Martha's Vinyard (like I'd know about that).

The downsizing has actually been good. We took advantage of a hot property 
market and due to COVID's WFH becoming empty nesters as our daughter 
relocated to be with her boyfriend, moved to a cool industrial loft space 
which is less per month than our property taxes & insurance were previously 
(welcome to Texas folks). Right now we're banking the change, biding our 
time & seeing what manana will bring.

[RBW] Re: Let's see your shop and workbench

[Philip Barrett]

I was restoring a 1967 Meyers Manx, pre-tag body, the genuine article. Got 
about 80% finished & downsizing caught up with me! I had MIG, TIG & 
Oxy-Fuel, 208V power, compressor & perhaps best of all; AC & heat...c'est 
la vie...

The new house we're building will have a fairly compact but useful garage & 
I've saved your layout to pretty much replicate across the back wall, I 
love how everything critical is within reach. I have those same wooden 
screwdrivers too but once you have a JIS set there's no going back, 
especially for Shimano, Nitto & other Japanese parts. 

The gray is original, early 80's Trek, interesting that those colors are so 
popular again today especially considering what followed immediately 
afterwards in terms of mid-80's dayglo! I get complements literally every 
time I ride it. The Clem Smith showing up next week will actually replace 
this bike, though I'll be transferring some parts across including the 
saddle.

Whoa Philip, is that a dune buggy!? Looks like you had it going on out 
there: coffee maker, welder, compressor, I might spy a drill press, too. 

Love the gray paint on that bike with the honey saddle and grips. 
Understated beauty, my kind of subtle.
