This is sweet! I like your bike and bench rotation, George. And envy your proper work stand. Those Ikea cabinets are a big bang for the buck. If they're not Ikea, well, even better, probably! I had been eyeing a friend's old steel paper cabinets from the USPTO, thought they'd be good for tools.
Sean, that's a nice one. Glad to hear your bench is still going strong a decade in. I like to thank my past self when I find stuff useful later on. Philip, old shop sounds great. AC and heat! My grandfather cycled through many partial vehicle restorations, mostly VWs (several Bugs, a van, even a Thing!) and also had a dune buggy for a while. Not sure of the make. I do love the wooden Felo drivers. Stripped mine of the factory finish and rubbed 'em with boiled linseed oil. Super great handle shapes. I have a single no. 2 JIS Phillips driver for when it's required.
