So show us your work bench.. as it is now!

As a professional photographer I used to subscribe to an American photo mag that featured a "Show us what's in your camera bag" article each week. Usually they would turn out some working pro's bag on a jetty or a kitchen table etc.

So based on that.. post a picture on your bike shed's work bench. Don't tidy it .. show us it in all the glory of the current state of mess.

Here are my 3 work surfaces:

This is my main "fiddle" bench with drill press and assorted crap. There is a belt drive compressor under the bench too!

Seeing as how I started out as an auto electrician I had to have my "electrical" bench with regulated power supply, DSE iron and my trusty classic 1968 National Panasonic radio for entertainment. The bench itself is a Aldi potting bench. It has a drawer that holds multimeters, jeweller's screw drivers etc. The top is actually timber covered in gal sheeting.. I added rubber as an insulator from Clark rubber. it's good to look at this picture.. i have been looking for my tyre pressure gauge for days.. there it is next to the power supply!

This is the "main" bench. It is lower and ideal for working on motors or in my case changing lawn mower blades.

As usual all of my bench surfaces are covered in crap and I usually tidy them once a month. (Next weekend I promise)

You may notice a lot of Aldi tools in there too!

I had a big problem with bloody geckos crapping on everything including the bike. Tried everything.. solved it by running the bike for 10 mins once a week with the doors shut!

my bench is a plastic trestle table. it's currently got a 1948 BSA M21 600cc project on it.

Mine is a mess...as usual..

Welding bench, covered in non welding utensils,



Workbench, a final drive being reconstructed, bits everywhere, probably wont remember what bits are new and what bits are old, by the time I get back to it.



BUT...lets make one thing perfectly clear...this in not just any shed, its My MAN shed, the escape hole

Lathe, with a pin being built up and machined off, been like this for the last 2 weeks...



Just to get from one side to the other of my workshop, requires an extra 20 min traveling time!!



This bench seems to be just a place to put things, that may be interesting, need fixing, or just plain broken...



Even my relax with a beer, looking at things chair, is otherwise occupied.

here is mine ...

a As it is now no tidying , Toolmakers bench , Press tools , Injection moulding tools




Spark eroder (edm)

What scale is this in?

A couple of months ago:

My garage floor is generally used as a bench.



Most of my mates have user friendly garages with wood fires and chairs

Mine was used last night and its a bit tidier than some of you other blokes
cant send a photo of the other party, bit shy.
Well I am going to the Himalayas for 2 weeks tonight

Smack dab in the middle of a project bike build so way messier than normal.

Yeah...... working on a Suzuki would give me the shits too.

I'll get one up this evening when I get in.

lol..well that's good..now I can sigh with relief...mine is just as bad as all in here with bits and pieces all over the place..will have to get a pic in next few days....
