    I this video, I show you how I began Building a Bike Cave in our new shed! We spent a lot of time trying to configure the best use of space in order to come up with the perfect DIY MTB Workspace to fit our needs. Like all bike caves, this project isn't fully completed yet, but its done for now. We still need to build a bike rack system, configure some form of gear storage, and continue to add to the tool collection as time goes on.

    Very nice! Love the barn wood wall. When I set out to build my shop on one side of my garage, it was the HoA and covenants that got in the way. Garage workshops were forbidden in an attempt to make people parkin the garage instead of the driveway, and I did own two cars at the time. So I ended up building a bench that folded up against the wall, which allowed me to pull in that second car when needed. Problem solved!

    I'm a pro bike mechanic, first off, nicely done!!! I've built a bunch of shops over the decades. Those benches are legit! Pro tip, stain the tops and fronts of the benches, it will make it clean up in the future far far easier. You can make your own stain from vinegar, steel wool and coffee if you want to be frugal. Get a bench mat, like the ones they have fun firearms, Shimano and Sram have finally started making them. It'll make the space look more professional and save your bench from long term wear. I would also find a piece of aluminum plate to screw onto the bench when you need to pound on things. This will save the wood from being destroyed. I don't use steal because typically bike parts will bend or be destroyed by a harder metal. The bench you put your vice on, make sure it's solidly bolted to the wall. When trying to get out stuck bottom brackets or seat posts, the leverage of the frame will move the whole bench before the stuck part will break free. You can also build a sound proof box for your compressor, run a small pipe from the box to the outside and seal it with calk, you can even put an air filter on it to reduce the amount of crud your compressor collects. It's a nice option when you're working in a confined space and it will help protect your hearing. Get lots of lighting, I can't stress this enough, proper lighting not only helps with shooting video but being able to see everything clearly and accurately makes repairs go much faster. Keep at it, I seriously admire and respect that you admitted when you didn't know quite how to do something and owned it. Good mechanics and good riders own their mistakes, I was taught excellent mechanics share their knowledge. Rising tides floats all boats so to speak. Keep after it, I'm excited to see what else you do!

      Agree with everything written above. I would consider running electrical in the space between the wall and the barnboard. Always seems there is something or other to plug in.

  • @markduncan525

    First thing for me would be a repair stand of some sort. And I’d put some type of finish on the benches or they’re going to look grimy really quick. Great build, looking forward to more videos! Subbed.

    • @markduncan525
      @markduncan525 Před 4 lety +3

      👍Now I see the stand off to the side in the final shots. I have found it pretty handy to have a computer monitor mounted up above the bench. When I’m fixing a bike or a motorcycle it is really handy to be able to see manuals/diagrams or videos on a screen bigger than my phone. Nice job!

    I built a custom bench to hold two eight drawer tool chests. I have a window on the wall my bench is up against, so no pegboard tool porn. It's all in lots of skinny drawers. I did plywood bench top but will switch to MDF one day (maybe never). Stereo and dorm fridge, and a sweet vintage beer brand clock (so I don't forget to go home). Mounted my truing stand on a board I can clamp when in use, and push back when not. Wished I could bolt the repair stand to the floor, but I have to move it out of the way to get a car in there. Isopropal alcohol in a spray bottle, grease in a gun, and a vice grip style chain whip are my faves.
