    Yep well spotted I have tried a couple of "proper" wheel stands and Rogers DIY version is the best. Only mod I made was to screw a piece of roofing lead underneath to make it ultra stable. Cost me £4 I think for the bolts the MDF was scrap and the axle jaws are a n offcut of 1/4" ally plate cut to size.

    No telly but it does have surround sound the speakers are in the ceiling :wink:
    Just got to modify the wheel truing stand. It was knocked up quick when i did my front wheel in! However i think i'll just modify this bodged one a little bit more though.
    If anyone wants more photos i could photo the other untidy half :lol:
    Glad you like it though :P

    Forcutty I love the cellar, very lucky indeed. The lathe, press drill and arc welder not tempt you to start making your own frames/custom bits ? I work in a school so have access to the technical department during the summer, if only the technical technician was a bit more obliging or I was a bit more skilled.
    False facts are highly injurious to the progress of science, for they often endure long; but false views, if supported by some evidence, do little harm, for every one takes a salutary pleasure in proving their falseness.

    The basement is the only thing I miss from our old house. I ha my own cave down there and it was awesome. Not as cool as the one above bit still it was my lair and my little spider friends kept the wife away.

    If only it was easier to get bikes into the loft!
    Out with the old, in with the new here.

    I have considered this so many times! If we were staying here long enough I would probably do, but I see us selling it and moving on in 2-3 years, and it's a lot of work just for that. Luckily the wife is ok about me fixing things in the kitchen so it's not too bad.

    Arc welders are for loosers us real bodgers use mig welders.
    Just out of the picture is a mechanical hacksaw too.
    I mainly just repair stuff as to be honest i'd rather just do an extra couple hours at work and buy what i need.
    But if its too expensive etc i'll make it. 7spd too 6 speed Uniglide cassette mods at the moment! Then a strip and rebuild of benelux p2 rear mechs for a mate who has two broken ones that are as rusty as fark. As for frame building nah i can't weld good enough :wink:

    you guys just can't have WAGs, my front room used to be better than supersonic's but these days it's pretty poor, there's room to sit down and everything!

    I think many people who have a WAG, soon lose both, when one finds out about the other.

    Surely WAGs should technically be called WOGs but i can see that been taken the wrong way by the PC crowd thinking it's something different.

    I can't wait to get a place of my own and have a workshop, at the moment I'm limited to a very small section of the garage.

    Just bought a new place with a double garage - can't wait to have at it.... Luckily, it has a 4 car drive too, so no need to interfere with the workshop by keeping pesky cars in it.
