I was always a fanatic on organization at work but prone to be sloppy at home.
I've been working a lot more hours in the farm/mechanics shop and now working on getting it better organized in addition to working on projects. Setting up a row of tool boxes on roller stands with drawers.
I'm now getting back into the woodshop a little.
Things are slowly coming together.
Time to organize the shop!

Re: Time to organize the shop!
Funny you should mention it, ERLover, but my MEK 12-gauge reloader and supplies are amongst the crap moving from the workshop up to the attic. I probably oughta sell it on eBay, but my 16 yr. old son is just now getting into shooting. We shot some sporting clays with my brother just last week, and danged if the whipper-snapper didn't out-shoot us both. Him beating me is no big shock, but my brother was once a competition shooter. Anyhow, with factory ammo cheap these days, reloading doesn't seem to provide nearly the bang for the buck that it once did. But I'd like for the boy to do some anyway, if only so that he will quit referring to shotgun shells as "bullets", once and for all.

I just hate the news people that dont a shell casing, from a bullet. No one ups man here, son, is athletic, 14, I bought him an Rem 870 20ga, straight grip/English style with the 21" barrel, for rabbit and grouse hunting, he is a crack shot at the gun club, many doubles on ruffed grouse, reloaded with a 2 3/4 dram load of 1oz shot 8 shot, most trap shooters use a 3-3 1/8 dram load of 1 1/8oz shot,
First station,5 for 5 and everyone with the 12ga 30-32" OUs are looking at him, next station 5 for 5,same thing, ect, last station 4 down, last pull, he jumped it and a miss, 24 other then me with a 23 everyone else was 19-21 and looking at the kid with his 20 ga.

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.
