I straightend up the shop yesterday and wanted to show it off. It’s a redneck version of a 360 degree view. Pic Ten is Aireka Modeling her Orvis “I’m a run away dog here’s my name and phone number on the collar.” Collar.

Looks like somebody stole half your stuff. Even emptied the bucket buddy.
Dogs wondering what happened too.
Plenty of empty wall space left to hang the as yet unbought tools.
Check out Ebay, there's a nice router table coming up real soon, and an almost new PC pancake compressor.

ROAR! It does look empty, I hate clutter, the house has been getting pretty cluttered up latley and we've decided to have a yard sale. The wife came out yesterday and decide that this would be the perfect place to store all the clutter in the house untill we get around to having the yard sale.

I realized that I had done such a good job of putting stuff away that the drills weren't in their spot. I put them where they go for the picture but I've gotten into the habit of locking them in the portable tool cabinet when I'm done. And here's a few shots of my favorite spot The Kreg jig has a holding spot against the wall when I'm not using it. the blue cabinet is an old piece of bank under counter that I can lock up if need be. I keep all my drill accesories and bits in it.
In 14 I have closed the bottom of the bench off with plywood. This is where my kerosene heaters and pressure washer and Generator are. It keeps them from getting full of saw dust and since I rarely use them I figured it was a good way to store them. And they are out of sight if I ever get broken into.
In 13 the brown/yellow drawers hold all my nail gun nails.
15 is the steel cabinet I posted pics of a while back It's handy to store small power tools in.
16 is of some bank carrier tubes that I have picked up off remodel jobs. They are handy for keeping screws in. Who Dares Wins.
Re #16 no wonder my bank is out of tubes for the drive through! Very clean and tidy, I wish I could get there in my workshop!!!
Them babies cost like eighty bucks a piece to replace too.
Mine was in horrible shape untill I decided It had to be dealt with. Throwing stuff out was a little hard at first but it gets easier.Who Dares Wins.
Gunner,
I tried to take a pic of my shop while it was clean.
But the shutter on my camera wasn't fast enough!Mr T
Happiness is a cold wet nose

Actualy it's my way of avoiding my very neglected yard. It's starting to look like one of those inner city vacant lots you see on t.v. You know the kind where they dump bodies. I even dumped out my nail aprons today and organized them.
Here's three more pictures of features I will have on every bench I build from now on.
19 and 20 are recessed garbage cans that lifts out when You want to empty them. I have one next to my kreg pocket hole jig set up and another at the other end of the bench. They're pretty handy to sweep the shavings off into.
21 Is a Kreg recessed bench vice. I love this baby, and if for some reason you need it moved the top comes out in a matter of seconds and leaves a flat surface on the bench.
Alright no more pictures I've bragged enough.Who Dares Wins.
19 has some more tube containers...... are you hoarding them aginst the next shortage ?

Everytime we do a drive thru remodel we replace all they have, soI usually keep them. I've got about a dozen not including what I have on my work truck,there handy.Who Dares Wins.
can you buy those things anywhere?
Nope they're a specialty item. Eighty bucks a piece if you have to order a replacement one.
Want me to get you a couple?Who Dares Wins.
I want to put hydralic hoist on all of my benches with a dumpster on the end . Pull the lever ,clean bench.
it is obscene! i really can't look at pictures like yours and not be embarrassed...
i spent an hour looking for a router base this morning...
hellooo- maybe a little discipline is in order- i bought a second cell phone so i could call my first one and find out where i put it ... the ringing in my pocket scared the hell out of me.
LOL I do the cell phone thing all the time. I have a company one and a personel one. One is always looking fo rthe other.Who Dares Wins.
Wow Gunner! Looks like the start of a hammer collection above the work bench.
What are those beauties left to right

LOL I was hoping you would notice that. My goal is to make a hammer ring around the wall. So far Bluegrass is the majority, of course the coveted brand new 13 oz. with stickers and all is under glass in the computer room for safe keepig.Who Dares Wins.
