Design in a work bench



On of my life passions is working on and riding bikes. this is why last night (the night before the first day of class ;) I stayed up until something like 2 in the morning designing my in house bike shop. It was an addictive process because the usefulness and the beauty of the workbench were something I just needed in my life. This was a project in utility and design for me. The funny thing though is that I was guilty the whole time I was doing it. Shouldn't I get some sleep so I can read thick books tomorrow? Shame one me! but hey, this is real life. We want our stuff where we want it and it excites and calms us when we get it that way. Don't some people have like huge shoe racks in their closet? (First Image is my hard earned workbench!
