Building a workshop. Master the man cave!
In this four part feature from ‘Classic Motorcycle Mechanics’, Ralph Ferrand tells the story of his original man cave and how it became a home for a new business but also how you can construct a functional man cave/workshop and the steps to follow.
Some years ago, I pushed planning to its limits and built a massive workshop and office on the side of my house for my business. It wasn’t a cheap venture, but it allowed me to move my business out of Bristol to my house on the edge of a small rural village. I used to work in television, print and photography and this financed the build. After a few years, things changed (I won’t bore you with why/how). I sold all my big work machines and was left with a big workshop space. What would you do? Yes, I filled it with motorcycles and tools. I found that many people were happy to pay me to fix their old bikes as regular bike shops had little or no knowledge of the old dinosaurs.
