Messy workrooms

[wildrose]

Wow! I feel better already Crystal!

You rule in my book for messiness. (and they say that's a sign of genius, after all...)

Well- I don't know if I will win the prize for the messiest. I have to admit - this is bad, even for me. I usually leave everything out until I am done then do a cleaning. The hubby and I share the basement for our projects.

My area:

His area:

Maybe I've been seeing too many episodes of Murder She Wrote, But that looks like duct tape and a knife to the left of hubby's bench and I think he's looking for more space. Be Careful!!! Kevin

Yeah, Kevin - that has me a bit concerned... he offered to allow me to move to the "war room" with my stuff to get it out of the dining room. But I did notice that MY work space is beside the antique 1959 oil furnace and also (not pictured) almost on top of crates of ammo. Think I need to call and see what my insurace policy is currently valued at?

I am going down and doing a bit of cleaning this evening - at least putting anything flamable away. Well- maybe cleaning up a bit more than just that.

OMG, I'm not even going to post pics of my den of iniquity-it would give the neat leatherworkers the screaming heebie jeebies. Theres always a swept up pile of stuff on the floor, usually 2 days worth. I always go thru everything before tossing to see if I've dropped a life eye needle, or whatever in the sweepings.

There was a thing I read in an old muzzle loader magazine in regard to a world reknowned black powder rifle maker.....the author stated that this man was truly talented,and that his workbench looked like the 4th level of an archeological dig because he was too busy creating stuff to clean. I guess Ive pretty much adopted that rule even though it drives my wife nuts...

I have gotten better tho, I cant let it go any longer than 2 days now..or I spend all my time hunting for things

My workshop is a little different than most. I currently live in a 2 bedroom apartment with my 5 year old daughter, my entire working setup is either integrated with the furniture (you have to get creative when you have a lack of space) or can be folded up and slid into a closet (see the sadlemaking section for mention of my idea that worked quite well for a draw down stand) and my "bench" if you will consists of a marble slab and the kitchen table at the moment, but I've worked out of bigger shops over the years.
