Workshop spring clean

[jcassidy]

So SWMBO got tired of me whinging about not being able to find this or that tool and suggested "Why don't you clean out your shed, then?"

What, like I'm supposed to throw all this stuff away?

Wait, why does that sound like a good idea?

An hour later...

(This is just the trash pile)

I bet you could go through all of that 10 times and find something to keep each time

 

[Andy's Shed]

I need to sort out all the stuff under my workbench, there's all sorts of tools and stuff thrown under it. I really need to get some drawers sorted out to fit under the bench, but it'd likely be a lot cheaper and less faff to get hold of some solid second hand drawers. The niggle that I have is my Record 52 1/2 vice would be in the way, meaning I'd need a fairly low set of drawers. I don't have anywhere else that I could fit the vice.

Or cut the bottom off a taller one, reinforcing what’s left?

Speaking of which... my vice has been found!

(I tore down workbench v1 and haven't quite gotten around to making v2, so I'm working off a temp bench on trestles...)

The pile on the workbench need a home, I'll probably build some presses tomorrow.

Translation: “presses” are “cupboards” in Irish English.

(Wait till you discover what “messages” are!)

My pooch’s aren’t allowed in as they always end up running off up the garden with a mouthful of something I’d rather they hadn’t..
