What have you made so far?
What equipment are you working with?
What materials do you have available?

Make up heavy brackets for shelving in your garage or tool hangers for garden tools.

Go to a junk yard and look for an old bicycle and use the head tube, fork and bearings from it. Look for an older or cheap bike, the newer, more high tech ones use thin wall tubes and possibly 4130 chrome-moly steel that will be trickier to weld.

On the bicycle idea, what about designing and making a rolling workshop chair from bike parts?

I could help you out designing the steering. The option of a bike one is cool. It´s easy if you to want to
