Messy workrooms

[Schno]

Color me jealous, Ray! I've been through nearly every part of England, Scotland, and Ireland so far, but I still haven't made it through Wales. And in spite of the counsel of my Anglo-Saxon friends, I'm fascinated with that part of the country. I hear that due to the Welsh resistance to Norman conquest, there are more castles per square mile in Wales than anywhere else in the world. It was interesting to learn that Ludlow castle was built by the De Lacey family. I visited another of their holdings in Ireland a few years ago. Trim castle was built by Hugh De Lacey as a stronghold against the denizens of the Connemara, probably around the same time.

Anyway, Wales is definitely on my list... but only after Hawaii. After spending a week in the dust storms, hot days, and chilly nights at Burning Man, I want a vacation with tropical breezes, room service, and little paper umbrellas in my drink!

I'm just glad I'm not the only one that ISN'T a neat freak. I could blame my mess on not having enough space (and I don't) but I think I'd still be messy. I dont mind the mess as long as I know where everything is. When it gets to the point I cant find something, then I'll clean it up, but it doesn't seem to last very long. I'd rather spend time carving than cleaning.

I'm still working on that where everything is deal. I had it but now it's gone, I think.

It all started with the Batman tool roll. Ended up like this. It was clean when I started. But it's always that way. BOOM!! What the heck happened?

lol... I'd dare say that there would be something unlike tropical breezes as well! England isn't really celebrated for its climate. (Although, for the month or so of time that I've spent there it only ever really rained once. I've been told that was just shy of unbelievably good luck.)

Schno, All day long we have had horizontal rain and a howling gale. More than enough wind to blow your little umbrella all the way to Hawaii. It tends to focus the mind though - I really don't mind being indoors thumping leather on a day like today! Living on the Welsh border can be pretty moist. A town a few miles down the road (Tenbury Wells) was badly flooded again this week - third time in a year. I'm just glad I live on a hill...

Schno, if your coming by umbrella watch the wind that volcano can get pretty hot.. those little umbrellas don't have a lot of control.. hell you might catch one of the trade winds and end up in japan

LOL... I may be many things, but Mary Poppins I am not! I totally want to see a volcano, though!

(By the way, I promise to take a shot of my work area tonight in honor of the topic of this thread. I may also start another thread. I'm looking at building a leatherworking area in my garage and I want to get peoples' views on the 'ideal setup'.)
