I didn't want the air to get out.

EOD?  Explosive, Ordinance, Disposal? 

 

 

I seem to think the Dungeon Shop would qualify as the messiest shop around......but, there are some days..

That this happens

Hey...shavings happen....

Is that the same work bench where the Auger book was born? Looks brand new in this picture.

One of the guys I worked with always started the day in his hobby car shop by putting tools where they belong and cleaning the shop. I though it was kinda weird at the time.  Then I took my car to be repaired to a local shop. This guy had a multiple garages at his home and the place was immaculate. No grease, no junk and nothing out of place. When I picked up my car, even thought he had several jobs going, it still looked the same. I still think it is very unusual to see a work area so clean and organized.

 I always start a project with a clean, organized shop. It goes down hill from there, although I do try to clean each morning some before I continue. Other times, well.........You know

I just remembered that a guy that used to work for me had been a Navy airplane mechanic during Vietnam.   One of his buddies left a wrench in a jet engine one day.    Made a few spits and sparks when the pilot fired it up.

A long time ago, I had a muffler put on.   I noticed a couple of days later something was hanging down, so on the way home from work, I stopped in the shop.   The mechanic that worked on my car thanked me, he'd left a socket and universal joint on the muffler.   If I'd been a day later, he would have bought a new one from $nap-On driver.

This makes a lot of sense with all of that equipment there. I do not really know what it is, but I can only imagine what would happen is something was left in the machine, similar to the airplane mechanic. This is a quick "Did I pick up everything?" check

all my workbenches are on wheels.  very easy to move if needed.  say I want to create more space near one, or combine two into a larger bench, or.....clean the shop!  only thing that is not easily moved is the table saw and the large drill press.

I try to put tools up as I go but as someone else stated sometimes you go into firefighting mode and don't get to it right away.  I usually have a few hand tools that I know will be needed repeatedly on a project that will end up staying out.  Several of my machines are on mobile bases and will get rolled out of the way as I move through a project. Shop is trashed right now as I haven't done as much woodworking as I have yard projects this year. There has been a large accumulation of crud that needs to find a new home

I relate to that so we much be "related" 

I've got a bench load of things that need put away. 

Been doing some outdoor projects and then just set everything on the bench to put away. 

I need to do that soon.

I leave everything were I stopped using it and continue this terrible practice until I can't turn around.  Then I clean up.

 

I don't get it.  I really expected the Bikini models to pick up after me but those brats have let me down.

Cliff they have been over here and I wish you would take them back as I cannot get anything done.....they keep putting everything away and I have to start over. Now what was I doing?

I like putting thing away but years ago I ran out of places to put things... I'm now building my 14th storage building. This gotta stop someday....
