having made my new rat station, i felt it was not too secure on the wall, or rather the wall is a bit dubious, so i built a quick box to go underneath. ripped some of the oak veneered mdf jason let me have ages ago, which i have almost finally used. and biscuited the corners and made it jam under the box. it is not the full width of the rat station, but serves a purpose. however when making it, i seemed to spend a lot of time moving things around to get clear spaces or the tools. part of that is that i have not completed all the storage, but also in the middle of working you seem to have stuff all over the place. having been in jason(jfc)'s workshop i know that even pros are no more tidy than me, but i wondered what others thought  or indeed what they do. somehow i imagine the dominator lives in a clean room ;D  but what about the rest of us, or all the gloats carefully staged  at this time i seem to spend as much time cleaning and tidying as i do working  paul  |

I usually clear everything away each night so I go into work with a nice clean bench.
I also clear away the tools after each job, unless its somehing I need for the next stage

My workshop slowly descends into chaos as I work, I finally stop and clear up when I can't find any of my tapes squares or rulers, all the pencils have disappeared and the sawdust is so deep it starts getting in my shoes. A couple of hours are then spent tidying up and sweeping and then the process starts all over again.

By only getting what you need out, and putting it straight back when you have finished with it. I also keep a trend vac next to the bench which I use to pick up the dust/shavings every few minutes so it doesn't become too much of a chore to tidy up at the end of the day. A nice smooth and flat floor helps with sweeping and having your bench against a wall is useful as I keep all my rulers/pencils on a small shelf* so that they don't get lost amongst the other assorted bits of crap on the bench.(*its actually 16x25mm mini trunking but the lip where the lid joins the body is very handy for stopping things rolling off ) A few screws in the wall hold the things that I use regularly but that I can't fit on the trunking such as squares, stanley knife and tape measures. |

Just because you can't hear the voices, doesn't mean they're not out to get you

Welcome Seaco, wondered if you'd find Scrit He's only come over to see if he can wind me up with this It doesn't phase me. My stepmother worked for a butchers' and some of the injuries they had off meat bandsaws were horrendous. The only consolation is, apparently, that your hands are so cold you just don't feel the amputation until you're half way to the hospital (i.e. when you warm up)......... As to workshop organisation I fend the best thing to do is work with others - that forces you into putting tools away and sweeping up. Left on my own I tend to be a bit untidy Scrit |

I've seen it in Japan a few times.
If it's like the Japanese do things, he was on training for at list 3 years before he got permission to do it himself and not before he passed 3 "in-flight" checks...
Did you know (and that's from Japanese woodworker) that they train 3 years just to sharpen the chisel and planer blade...I told him, hey, if you train on every step of woodworking for 3 years, you get to your 60th and you are still in the Mortise and Tenon...
About the OP, with me it's very simple, the car must go into the garage every night so...
