How Neat Is Your Shop?

I can plead guilty to the messy shop. I have a place for everything but nothing is in its' place.
I have noticed that when I make a place for something and put it away I forget where the place is and end up not being able to find it. When your stuff just covers the workbench all you have to do is step back and scan the area to find what you want. Much easier system :idea:

I usually will clean up only when it become dangerous to even work in there! Yesterday, I was standing on one foot to operate my table saw!! :nono:

Time to clean up...........tomorrow maybe.

Matt and Dev,, both of your shops look like mine... AFTER I clean it up.. mine is such a mess.. The big problem is I paid for most of what is in there, and can't bring myself to throw it away.. too cheap..

My shop is the cellar right now. I have to think about it before I post any current photos.

This is a great thread. LMAO

My shop has enough space for me to get my wheelchair through. I have power tools on both sides and when I need one of them I clear a spot in front of it. Four times a year I organize it so it will be clean for the rest of my life. It works for maybe two or three projects. Before I even get to the tools I have to wind my way through the ATV's, jumper cables and other "must have debris". I guess I have just enough junk on the floor to make my life difficult! :lol:

My main workshop is in the barn... 35'x70' and 2 floors of hay, farm animals, wood/dirt floors, with tools/parts everywhere and no electricity so "clean" is literally impossible. My basement shop is clean, all together I have 50 feet of 3-4' deep workbenches plus a 6' pegboard and shelves under the benches. When I have a project I spend a few hours organizing everything so it's easy to work in. When the project is underway it looks like a nuke went off. I own 5 of each commonly used size wrench and socket for a reason, it takes too long to search for a wrench when I'm working.

That's really my problem.....Lack of room. My shop is about 10'x10' & just not big enough. (at least that's my excuse de jour!) :lol:

It is my wife's fault mine is so messy. She is always borrowing my tools and never putting them in their proper place. At least that is what I always say.

as you can see it's pretty neat and clean. i make furniture as a hobby . the last stage is the finishing, so i have to clean up. i no longer save bits and pieces of this and that hoping that i might need it in the future. aside from tools, anything that isn't seasonal that i don't use in six months gets chucked
