jules Posted November 27, 2006 Share Posted November 27, 2006 the truth: Daan This I can relate to I spent more time looking for stuff than I did working on it last time I went into the garage..... This sister in law has just moved in so all the gym stuff is now in the garage that was already too full of carp to start with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astro_Al Posted November 27, 2006 Author Share Posted November 27, 2006 Tell me about it. Mine might look tidy, but try finding a bloomin' tape measure when you need one... I keep buying extra ones in the hope that if there are enough of them, you'll always be near one or two. It doesn't work. GRRRRR! Al.

miketomcat Posted November 27, 2006 Share Posted November 27, 2006 the only reason the tomcat got built was i have a good friend who lent me their carport for 4 months and now its finished it lives in a rented garage with my bike but i should point out the bikes across the back touching the wall the tomcat touches the bike and the door just shuts as for tools home made pullers for crank pulley using a bit of ally with big nut and bolt in the middle and three m6 studs through the plate works but could do with so refinement also nylon clutch line up tool made up on my dads lathe finally its not mine but my dad made his own trolley jack!! he even machined the ram himself mind he did copy it from a friends but still impresses me mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michael calvert Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 yes but notice the use of a stub end for a soldering iron stand? ingenious Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muddy Posted December 2, 2006 Share Posted December 2, 2006 Just modified an old set of shelves to provide some oil storage and keep the commpressors tucked away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Les Henson Posted December 2, 2006 Share Posted December 2, 2006 Daan - your workshop is bluddy awful, I've seen skips that are more tidy. Muddy - your blurred pictures are of a collection of explosive chemicals. Freeagent - it's not an ingenious use of a stub axle - you couldn't find anywhere to put a hot soldering iron, and a convenient bolt hole just happenend to be that. Ok, forum sticker to the person that isn't trade that actually has a tidy workshop/shed/garage/kitchen/etc Les. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rustyrangie Posted February 3, 2007 Share Posted February 3, 2007 The scopes.. and the home made bit - an extension lead/ connection box thing Hi Luke, nice set up. Those 'scopes, I used to repair them for the MoD in the 70s but I'm slowly going mad trying to remember the make. Are they Tektronix or what? just can't quite read the label. Please put me out of my misery. Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are they Tektronix or what? just can't quite read the label. Please put me out of my misery. Bob I reckon Telequipment ... who's for the next guess? At least my pair of D83's are stored safely away 'just in case' somewhere warm and dry ... on top of the wardrobe! Perhaps I should eBay 'em? 50MHz, delayed trigger, high quality dust at no extra cost ... very useful for fixing LR ecu's (potentially).
