Leading on from the what i've made thread I've found myself with just over a months free time. I can't stand having nothing to work towards and i've just come back from holiday. Inspire me with things to build, create, design, invent or draw to fill the time when im not out on my bike!
I'm finally getting started on this;

It's been awaiting a rebuild for as long as I've been alive, but between me and my dad we now have the time, energy, money and enthusiasm to actually get on with it.
Pre '65 trials soonish, hopefully.
A (maybe permanently) paused project, in its resting place... Former prizewinner in need of TLC after one too many scottish winters. Can't quite bear to part with it though.

No offence but what exactly in that man cave is the project ,beyond a tidy up 😉
Junkyard - lazarus
No offence but what exactly in that man cave is the project ,beyond a tidy up
Well, it could be the blue full-sus frame on the left, or the very dusty motorbike buried under a bunch of assorted junk.
I think it's the blue frame, which looks familiar, but I can't place it.
That is my horrible Ellsworth, which was fit for only one project, being turned into aerospace-grade coke cans.
That's very tidy for me! The project- the motorbike- makes an ideal box retainer, inner tube hanger, and pushbike stand.
cheers my man cave would look similar were i to have one
Turning this...

...into a really ace man cave. Behind me in the photo is the same amount of space but it was filled with carpet and bikes.
All the wood, bricks and carpet have now gone. Everything else has been moved to one end while I paint the walls and seal the floor then I'll repeat at the other end. Sadly the patch on the wall you can see there revealed itself to be a leak in the roof during the recent rain so I've got to find that first. I'm quite worried that it's the ivy on the far wall (next door) that has definitely got under the roof in places. If it is, then I'll be having a discussion with him about it. I can't see anything else obvious. Good, solid corrigated steel roof.
