Don, you need to bury a biking-related time capsule in that floor before it gets poured. A Peugeot U08 with interesting bits stuck in the tubes, perhaps?

My current work space is just the dining room in my apartment (which is literally the "bike room") and I don't have any pictures handy, and it's really nothing much to look at anyway. However, I am currently remodeling a house which I will hopefully be moving into by summer, and it has a room that I will use for bike stuff. Plus a shed out back which already has 10 bikes and loads of parts in it.
Second picture is huge, so I'm just posting a link. The shed is to the left:

Thanks! BTW, please excuse the horrendous sofa. There are a couple of cats living there, and I want to leave them a place to hide while everything is going on in the rest of the house. Anyone need a sofa? Or cats?

I don't think they're any specific breed, but they are long-haired cats. The older one has gotten semi-comfortable with me and allows me to pet her, but I've never even seen the other one. 
I've been told she looks similar but is younger (the other one is her mother). I have no problem with taking car of them, but if I found someone who wanted a couple of cats I'd let them go. I wouldn't want to seperate them, though.

You call that anal-retentive? Whoever folded those towels was on mood enhancement drugs! What a sloppy job!

It would seem that the Horrors of my basement are not for human eyes. My buddies have started calling it the dungeon, so I'm going to haul some junk up to redxj's place Thursday so I can see the floor again.

This is my favorite bike shop. I found and stole this photo off the net. This is Ernest Csuka of Cycles Alex Singer doing his thing. On the back wall is a small very old lathe. I posted this on the Practical Machinist site and the lathe was identified as a very old Pittler, this is what many of the Singer braze ons are fabricated with.https://s170.photobucket.com/albums/u...t=singer22.jpg

Wow, I am impressed, there are some nice home shops here, and your organizational skills have shown me the light! Well not really 
I clean and organize my shop once in a while but it only lasts until the next project.
Whats the best way to organize and store small bits?
Thanks for sharing everyone!

and these. The wooden one use to be one piece that we cut in half and stacked on top of each other. It is on wheels so it moves around easily. Other parts are in the two file cabinets next to it. For little parts (nuts/bolts/etc.) I have a couple of plastic flip top snap containers (green in front of the suspension fork), and also cigar boxes. I have worked hard on my organization and it is better than it was, but I still have to search for stuff sometimes.

TurtleJack, the nuke sign is on the the door to the clean assembly room, it from my days as a nuke machinist, but that is classified.
