Looks like you're a master foam cutter

World class. I feel suddenly inadequate due to the foam sorcery here.
All the essentials ...

I see a wheel truing tool, headset press, bearing press, bearing removal tool, PF bottom bracket press, derailleur alignment tool, and more. Good comprehensive set there.
This is probably a good place to put this. I've been procrastinating over building a new man/bike cave .. I can't decide if there's a perfect shape ? Square ? round ? Hexagonal ?
Or I convert something existing. Then I can't decide if I should have a high ceiling, a normal floor with overhead storage or a raised floor with secret under floor bike store (it's presently a swimming pool).
Will I just fill it all with crap and maybe smaller is better ?

An underground dodecahedron with a hidden ground level entrance is what most *pro* mechanics do, and you want to be pro, don't you?
How the hell do you make an underground dodecahedron and not fall over in it ?? I think I can manage an underground hexagon, but that's going to be pushing the limits
But if that's what is needed, then I'll go with your advice .....

Not that hard. Here's the plans - just follow the instructions, but underground.

So only about 6 meters down then ... on the bright side, it will be roomy ....

What floor stand is that?
Thanks ... am looking at floor rack solutions right now so it caught my eye.
Mines like a bombsite at the moment. However, recently fitted an upright wall mount in the back corner which is a nice bit of kit and frees up a lot of space.
Got a second garage just going up on the side, so hopefully can turn that into a workshop and keep this one gym/bike based with turbo trainer, TV etc.
However, I suspect that I'll go in there and there will be industrial boxes of washing powder, kitchen roll, flower pots etc, just randomly planted in there on a weekly basis. Oh, and coats hanging off anything vertical. You know those things that women seem to have about 20 of
