New stand and stuff for bike area

Hi folks,

With thanks to @danielbenton for lending a vehicle and driving, I have brought a professional caliber Park Tool stand to lend to the space. We now have 2 stands that can be used in parallel (with care).

It appears that a lever for the stand has gone missing in the move. While it turns up, please do not use the stand with the metal base plate, as it would be unsafe. Please would someone put a sticker or notice on it?

I also brought a box of other things to lend to the bike area, but I have yet to decide on which I will lend. They are all in a box with a note on them; please do not rummage or discard the contents of the box, they all belong to me.

As for the tool board, we’re still trying to find a bit of plywood to complete the lower half of the board. With that done, we can lower the chest that will function as a workbench, redistribute items on the pegboard, and clear up space in the bike area. I have a separate boxes surprise to lend to the space as well.

Many thanks :+1:

Nice! Thanks for all the work on the bike area!

Minor bike space update, the truing stand (which is awaiting replacement I believe) has received a minor slightly bodged upgrade: an adjustable arm to help with measuring/indicating trueness.


It’s made of a couple of (I think) pannier rack mounting struts from the bin of random bike parts, so if anyone is ever looking for those that’s where they’ve gone.
