Re: Time to organize the shop!
I bet John B and I did the same, spent some time and away from WW to build a shop and a lay out of it. I spent 6 months doing that and restoring CL bought machinery and some SS, it was fun and rewarding. Build my work bench and the cabinet with the drawers under neath it, some nights in the garage till after midnight. No SO so who cares. Now I reap the rewards of a 15x15ft shop with all in its place and a place for it. 4x8ft peg board on 2 walls, wood storage racks on an other above the jointer, ect.
I now some of us are retired and have more time then you supporting us, I see my nephews shop, in disarray, never enough time to clean up and organize, and watch him look for a pencil, tape measure, chisel, to shame. Clean of the crap on the table saw to use it, to move the stuff he moved on to the RAS table to use that. He is smart, a manager of a food RnD department, OBTW when he cooks at home the kitchen looks the same, see previous thread about that.
You can change your habits and organizational skills, if you finally say this is enough!!!!!

Greenie, Grayling, SS stand alone BS and BS SPT, jointer and belt sander, 3 Ers with Speed Changers. I think those 3 cover my ER needs, and space for them.

Re: Time to organize the shop!
Organization is one way. I unfortunately still am at the "I can't find it anywhere so I'll just stash a tape measure or 5 or 6 all around the shop, so I have to lose all of them before I clean. It is admittedly a lazy and horrific way.ChrisNeilan wrote: Yup... How many times today have I said, "where's that **&^*&$&% tape measure?"
