My New Cycle "Studio".

[77Gowing]

I'm sorry I dont know the brand but I got both reals from different Amazon vendors. I look at the reviews with a grain of salt cause everyone has a gripe. So far I like them.
The extension real has an LED that shows available power for the three plugs on it. The drop light is Very bright led and it also has a single outlet. I really like the drop light thus far. But, I'm not a pro but am setting up my shop with just about everything but economically. I'd go for the full pro high dollar stuff if I was running a repair service.
I'm just a big ole wanna be.
Just having fun in retirement best I can.

Track, I like the receiver idea...smart.
Can you provide a pic or a vendor source?

Thanks all.

I don't have pics or vender info, but I've seen numerous examples on Pinterest. IIRC, most were fabricated to suit... I've been gleaning ideas there for my 'tiny' shop.

Been busy busy busy running a rat race. Im sposed to paint my sweeties empty sewing studio but stuff keeps getting in the way. Barely moving on my MC shed too. HF was supposed to drop off my lift by 5 pm...no show.
But, got my bench grinder, rotating vice, bicycle space saving mountz, MC flat tire repair kit, tire spoons, portable clamp mount vicd, and a bunch of other junk. Kaint spend much time in the shed till i get her studio up & running.
Pics coming soon.

Finally recieved delivery of my HF MCLift & chock. Trucker was way late he dropped it off @ 9:30 pm.
Poor man had a really hard day. His first drop off was at Goodfellows AF base, which was shutdown, leaving half his load burrying all the rest of his drops. He could not come dwn my alley so he hand carted it .3 mile down my alley. Drop off at the front of my property due to my desert rock yard is not possible

I took his name and contacted his company to compliment the poor tired mans attention to good customer relations. I offered food & drink, cause he looked spent, but he declined. I was afraid he waz gonna have a stroke or heart attack.

Cant open crate yet, the mrs has all her sewing paraphenalia piled all over my "sacred" MC shed & there's no room.
Its gonna be a good week before we can put everthing back. Then I can get back to my shed.

I’m jealous.... nice, perfect size for your collection.

Glad to hear you got your lift table, and thanks for the heads-up on the sale price. I see it's good through the end of June, soooooo, I'm hoarding cash. My knees, ankles, and thighs are killing me from crawling around on the floor using my little side lift. I had hoped to build one or modify a side lift, but I gave too many other things to do...

Thanks Dave for your kind words.
There maybe a 4th bike coming my way. This one may need some work, plus, since the only carb building ive done were automotive paint by number kits. Thinking I might try a wing carb rebuild ala Randaaks kit/dvd. Im as dumb as they come with carbs.

Thanks again.

thanks Track T, I can relate regarding my aching joints. When i head to the floor I pack a cloth tool bag full of what Im gonna need. No getting up & down all day. When I get up I repack my little bag. Anyway, thats how its supposed to work when my memory is fresh.
I hate up/downs.

Great story. Garage(s) are always in need of organizing. The Mrs' brother made a flip top tool stand with a drawer. It's on my work list should I ever get that organized. Here is a picture and video link regarding one:

One thing I've found helps to keep you off of the cold concrete is carpet remnants. Cheap (often free) and you can dispose of them once they get too dirty (which I need to do with mine). My hips and shoulders appreciate them. Another bonus is that they kind of scrub metal shavings from your shoes, holding them like Velcro so they aren't tracked onto the floors in the rest of the house. I keep a big piece in front of the lathe/mill/drill area.

Electrical contractor that was supposed to come yesterday, called & said because of storm damage they cant come. So reschedule the new panel & two 240 plugs for the shed in late july. Me & my hvac guy mounted the minisplit hardware, now all we need is power.

Minisplit compressor.
