Who has the messyest shop/garage????
BK:
I wouldn't qualify for this catogary, if I don't put things back where they belong after I've used them, I cannot remember where they are, it's called "Oldtimers" :D
AndyB:
What is it with the female of the species?
Why does 'garage' = 'dump'?
I have got a 16' by 18' garage that is for motorised vehicles, ie. motorcycles.
The fridgefreezer 'has' to live in there and I get crap when starting an engine because 'it will taint the food'!
?????? :bang: :bang: :bang: :bang: :bang:
It's a garage!
I now can't get in there because all the stuff for the bonfire/dump is heaped on the floor wherever she can reach conveniently...just inside the door and spreading. :bang: :bang: :bang:
Would she actually light a bonfire? Answers on a postcard please. :scratch:
I then get an earbashing because the garage is untidy and she can't get any more crap in there.
I have to get rid of garage stuff to make room for her dump stuff! :bang: :bang: :bang:
Then I get another earful because she can't find tools that she needs! She forgot that I set her up with a set of household tools that she would need in a drawer in the house (hammer, screwdriver with different size bits, pliers)...'how was she supposed to know?' :bang: :bang: :bang:
I submit that my garage is the worst but I am not posting pics as she will realise that I won't clear it so that she can have more room to fill it up again!!!! :lol: :lol:
Fortunately she keeps out of the machine shop! :D
Sorry, rant over :lol: :lol: :lol:

I was nearly crying when I started to do my clearout, some of that stuff had been with me for over 30 years (and still not used).
But a lot of people benefitted from my 'castoffs', so I didn't feel too bad when I knew it was going to a good cause, one Model boat club raised loadsa squids for club funds by selling off cheaply hundreds of DC motors I had given them. I kept a few back for myself, but have still to use any, and beginning model engineers got a few unexpected treats as well, like, there it all is, take what you want, otherwise it goes in the bin.
So get in there, dig the stuff out, and get rid. Not only will you gain space, you will also find that a heavy weight has been lifted off your shoulders, and you might be able to help someone in the process.

Divided he ad:
Mine would probably rival that at the moment.... But it's so small it'll only take half an hour to get it looking near to ship shape :)
Ade certainly could be in the top ten too. The machine workshop kind of floats in the middle of the big workshop, does that make sense? I said last week, IMHO it needs walls! (the big workshop.... it's huge and filled with a little bit of everything!)
I think there should be some scientific law that transposes to workshops and free/unused space and it's ability to attract all manner of cr@p? :smart: :scratch:

:wave: That'll include me :thumbup:
I saw much of the transition of Johns workshop and did indeed benefit greatly from it. (not to mention the huge amount of questions answered I still benefit from :) )
The press I tried to use to make brass spheres for a start, although that has since been returned to be given to another beneficiary as I couldn't achieve my goal with it.
There is no point in having many tools just for the sake of it, if you don't/can't use it pass it to someone who can. A lesson I will always carry with me :med:
Ralph.
AdeV:
In an effort to try to picture what my workshop looks like, here is approximately 1/10th of it...:
There's probably another 3/10ths which are just as bad as that, just not used as much... the rest is covered with cars or the bus...
