The Woodshop Curse, Stuff That Does Not Belong There...
Posted: Wed Mar 08, 2023 9:19 pm
I have a fairly large (1,500 sq. ft.) basement woodshop under what I refer to as the east wing of the house. I felt that I have plenty of space to spare but no...
I tend to have general clutter in my shop most of the time but some space consumers are "almost relevant". One example is a small sewing area where I have several commercial and leather machines from my past. I consider a small upholstery area as belonging in the woodshop. Wood storage is a space eater and I do keep some wood in other building on the farm but I want to have enough in the shop that I can work on something without running out of the shop hunting a piece.
The big space waster is the stuff that does not belong there at all. For that stuff I need a place to move it to while we sort it and sell much of it (antiques etc.)
I also may also remove one more Shopsmith from the shop, possibly the Mark VII. My needs have become simpler over time and I am sure my son has no interest in it as a collectable.
How many of you suffer from "Woodshop Curse"?
