This is tidying up.......

 

That’s bigger than our bedroom.

 

It's integral and full length of the house.

Did a bit more on the "stop watch".

Photoshoped and expanded the BMW round logo to fit the hub.

Found a suitable place in the garage to hang it when it's finished.

[Bender]

Well I ended up hanging all sorts on the walls of the garage to get it out the way!

I blame @Bender for posting pics of his

I must say though I don't know why I didn't do it ages ago as I now have loads of space

 

Lots of wasted space on walls ☺, I even hung up my tyre gauge, it's a funny shape little Oxford one so I had to make it a little house on the wall.

 

Indeed there is!

I have well used wall space now! I don't think I have room for anything else

Always room for more

Ohh and never be short of a stanley knife, as above just use 15mm copper pipe, don't cut with pipe cutter you won't get blade in, flatten end evenly until blade fits, then on a flat surface continue to flatten against the blade.

Great for carpet fitting, you can make one as long as you want and flip it over you can use back edge at angle to shove carpet down and score it before cutting.

Making use of all the space there [mention]Bender[/mention]

All my stuff is shoved in the cupboards

Yup always known that trick I prefer retractable though! I can be accident prone! like almost knocking myself clean out today by bending down and belting my head right in to the corner of my workbench

I'm making 2 4ft work benches on wheels so I can move them about for space as required and a shelf across the rear of garage to hold temp things namely front and rear screens on a car that's hopefully moving in soon, not looking forward to that job.

Have chains in floor to hold them, besides that the frames currently weigh about 120kg that's before I clad them in steel, put a 6mm welding top on, a removable inch ply top, bolt the vice on and fill it with crap, I'm not expecting moving issues other than when I want to move it.

You lot do realise that you are making some of us really really jealous as we don’t have garages to tidy up

Or are working harder through this and don't have time to tidy garage/ shed.

One lockdown is over anyone want to do a good deed for key worker

This is mine

 

 

and all my big tools are on wheels

 

 

and are all made to the same height so that any one can be used to support materials for the other, and all have height adjustable castors for easy levelling

[Six30]

John Christie had one of these....

In my defense I have been working throughout this situation and the garage clean up (and the new pond and the bathroom floor) only go to show how much of my free time is spent in pubs or enjoying myself lol
