new guy... Garage/shop redo

[JRK5892]

well i do custom powdercoating for a living. we just bought a new shop and it is about 35 min away from my house so i am converting my garage into a shop for me to be able to keep building bikes into the wee hours
here are some pics of where i am at so far

before:

Looks like a great improvement, everything nice and accessible hung over the bench . The paint booth must be handy.

It looks good. Nice paint booth.

Nice shop, I like the part shelf idea. When I rebuild my bikes, I usually put all my stuff in a corner next to it. If no objections, I am going to steal that idea for my next rebuild.

Looks hyper-efficient. You have certainly maximized your space!

thanks guys! the parts shelve is great! i build about 8-9 ground up bikes a year so that is going to get some use... plus wiht the powder/shop i was able to really clear out some space, the booth will help on quick paint stuff i need to do!

got a good jump in the shop last night so i can get my bike off the lift!

our booth room for powder

after the parts are done in the cooling room they are stored in the parts section... that is my new big rim!

Awesome foldable paint booth - I'm stealing that concept to use for myself!

Love the foldable paint booth. I will have to try that.

Wow! Foldable paint booth! Very cool! Jack Olsen would be proud! Love the American Ingenuity.

 

[JRK5892]

did not think that anyone would dig that... here is how i did it... if you have any questions just let me know!

kick plates fold up to clear the ledge on the wall

VERY cool booth. I built something similar on my bench top. Sure is great not having all the fumes and O/S in the shop isn't it?!

Thanks for posting - great ideas!!

I thought I recognized that bike. I spend time on DTT as well, 73CL350 slowly being cafe'd. - Brad
