OutdoorKing Repair Forum Forums Finding and Swapping Idle Chatter I'll show you mine if you show me yours.

I put up a post before about what you use to keep your lawn tidy.Now I'm wondering what your work space is like.At the moment have a room under the house,know as the mower room.Here is what it looked like this afternoon.

As you can see it is semi tidy in there at the moment.

Currently the shelving is the pallets I used to get the mowers up here to Brisbane.I had made up wooden boxes that are bolted to the pallets.Then just put another pallet on top to make the next level.

Of-course there always seems to be that one area that just seems to be messing.This is that area,I really need to come up with something better than this set up.

...and again.



Always must have some form of music.After I have cleaned the garage a bit better I am going to put a computer in here.That way I can..........well you know what I mean.I hope.

This is where the real work happens.This is.....well you know what goes on here you see what is on the table.Yes I know it's only a table I do have to find some kind of bench for here,but it works for now.
OK I've shown you mine now you show me yours.

Very impressive , !! I like your layout and especially how you are still able to get onto the clean work benches , Great pics ,

You are very fortunate to have such an area, this is my alfresco workshop, the shed is now full and there are twelve finished mowers in my garage and four awaiting resto in my box trailer.

Thanks guys.Alwil now that's impressive although your shed is full,well I'd be happy with a shed that full of that many impressive machine in there.Good work,have you posted pictures before of the gold model 5?I may have the room but I don't have the restores under my belt.Still have to finish the off.Although that took a step backwards last night I finally unwrapped all the painted bases I had.They all have to be repainted not one doesn't have a chunk or scratch on them bugger.

Most have seen my workshop here, however I may upload a pic of the "good shed" when I remember to take a photo of it, its on another property locally, and it only has one mower in it.

Mines all full of snow right now.....

I'm sure it has changed since I was there last Joe.Don't worry about pictures right now K-balm I guess it would be like looking at a polar bear drinking a glass of milk,or a clean piece of paper.

I am shamed. I dare not post pictures of my garage. Kudos to those who can keep things so tidy and yet full of stuff.

alwill your workshop looks almost identical to mine here hahaha outside too , and on a ladder !! but still messier than yours . some of mine 1st some of storage 2nd you can see the workbench sort of


last one is getting tidier now . a few hanging on the wall and more space . just gotta tidy more n get rid of some

Hmmmm...I bought A pair of Nike Sneakers Recently...I Kept The box They came in as a comparison...I think The shoe box is slightly larger...Sighs.
Looks Good Blumbly..Keep putting up the Images,as it will make it easier for me to pick out what I want....Evil Grin*

Now now Bluegmhtmonaro the ones that you are more after are all pulled apart and most in various stages of restoring.The problem I did was start to many restores at once then ended up with about 12 being done at one time.Bad idea.So I'm just getting myself ready to do one at a time. I'm going to start with my 3 VC-160's as they are the closest to done.Then I think it will be my Scott Bonnar 35's,looking forward to those two. Come on sparker where all friends here,we're not fused as to how good or bad it is.It's all in good fun.Maybe we will be able to get some good ideas from each other.

Even better! When your finsihed them,Then ill pick out the ones I want...Evil EVIL Grin*
Well I dont have any left to restore at the moment only a few with a bit here or there,usually parts i dont have at hand. Im too lazy to go down to Golbourn to pick up some more,besides my Shoebox is full. Instead Im doing A Cyclops Willys and an extremely rare Cyclops Jupiter Rocket,Keep alternating between the two so ill probaly finish them together lols. Anyways got have a hobby right?...Lols yeah i got like 20 of them ha ha ha...I want a "Villiers Tempest" Blumbly..Find me one..NOW!!!! lols. Im gonna do a Lightning Mcqueen on it...hahahha

My little work space. I have to take mowers out each time im working in there lol. Im currently trying to get a few more sheds lol

Yes I do think you need a shed or 6. It's nice to have space I couldn't think of anything worse than not having room to move. You'll get there.

Yeah it is small Nathan,but you can get around that in time..But I think thats the least of your problems...How do you stop yourself from tipping over when your working...You must really get a sore neck...

I don't quite follow you blue unless your talking about the picture being side ways. The back wall does look neat and tidy though.

This is at home, not particularly tidy at the moment, and the grass is dead, we havent had worthwhile rain in almost 3 months.

The other shed accross town doesnt really have much of interest in it, just my big boys playtoys - a moke, mini clubman, ke26 corolla panelvan, lx torana, ke35 corolla, vb sl/e v8 commodore, motorbikes, spare mowers in garden shed, etc.

OH my lord Joe that has changed a lot.Less mowers in the yard but more cars.Wow I remember that back left corner with nothing there. In-fact I don't remember two cars in the other corner,or should I say those two cars. Wasn't there some small car there at some point?

Ok Since youve all been so kind and showed your sheds.... Welcome To "Relics Are Us" Be thankfull you can actually see anything as in every corner and every box are parts for Victa And Cyclops Toys...One day id love to display everything,my shed in Golbourn which houses a larger part of my collection is huge,but erm...I dont Live there...And this is only my workshop,as 500 sq mtrs doesnt allow for much storage.

a great looking 'part' of the collection too , i gotta get a bigger shed i think ! they all look sweet too . all runners ?
