First post 
We have a 30 x 60ft shed that is full of tools, equipment, bikes and spare parts for bikes. We park our cars outside all year round. Friends tell me that I'm at "peak shed" in terms of the contents-to-space ratio . . .
My background is automotive machining, and although i have a full-time job, I have accumulated a useful range of machine tools for performing many of the machining operations on cylinder heads, conrods & blocks and producing swarf in abundance. The machine tools are partly for my own vehicles but I also do engines & gearboxes for very patient friends and acquaintances
Equipment includes a 1980s Taiwanese Tiger Turn 1340 lathe (similar to Jet, Lantaine, Grizzly etc), ancient Sunnen horizontal hone, equally ancient Van Norman 944S portable boring bar, reasonably modern Kwikway SVS11 valve refacer, Emco FB2 mini mill, and a Scledum RVA 300 S surface grinder (better known in the USA as Storm Vulcan RVA300). Various other odds & ends include a 50 ton hydraulic press, a self-made conrod aligning jig and conrod balancing jig, and a Sunnen AN cylinder hone powered by an antique Wolf 1/2" heavy duty drill that refuses to die.
We have several bikes from classic BMW airheads to more modern Ducati's and a pair of Honda "postie" bikes.
And, we're domiciled in New Zealand
