There is never, ever, "stuff that is'nt needed" merely "stuff that might come in handy one day"

Wow, that might be messier than my shop  :bugeye:

I'm battling the clutter, with the current theory being that I have too much benchtop space-- 90% of it just gets used to store layers of junk, tools, pieces and parts.  
The current plan is to convert much of the bench space to shelf space and get a bunch of cheap plastic bins labelled and put away full of those 'things that might come in handy one day'.  I've already swiped John's rolling-stock-bins idea which helps immensely.

 Looks like a good shop to me and considerably better than I had till 'bout 12 years ago ..Theres only two things you can do in a workshop and that is Make a mess and clean it up..................A busy shop is in constant flux. The only shop that is perfectly clean and neat is one that is not being used.. And it helps if shop is tiny and freshly reorganized but a shop that has been in place for a decade or two will have accumulated more tools and materials and assorted crap than can be hidden away in tidy bins...My own hobby workshop is 60 foot by 60 foot with another 20 by 40 foot upstairs.. I am retired and work out there everyday...Now and then I have to work solid two or three days in a row to get it back to my preferred modest level of tidiness......My workbenchs are looking as cluttered as yours are right now but they clean up well enough when work slows and the mood to reorganize strikes.... I admire that you are not embarrassed to show those pictures...See the outside view of my shop .Big shop building like mine is cheaper than a bassboat and within reach of nearly anybody with sufficient interest.
