what a mess it was.years of clutter and neglect.a truck load of junk went out the door and theres still more in there.but most of that is metal "things' so i'll keep them for future projects.

Real nice shop you got there Paul, plenty of room to move around. I wish that I had that much room, I'm in pretty tight quarters.

Nice looking shop, much cleaner than mine:)

Everything I own has at least a thin layer of sawdust on it, and most things I own have a THICK coat of sawdust.  I have a hard time throwing away scrap wood too, I am always thinking "that's a good piece of walnut, I'll need that someday"....so I store it all in a huge plastic trash can.  I recently messed up when making some wood that was going to be bedliner coated....I grabbed a piece of hard maple instead of poplar...oh well, it all looks the same in bedliner, just costs 3x as much....oops!  When I have to disassemble any of my guns or whatever I have started doing it here at my desk where my PC sits, otherwise the parts get coated with sawdust:(

Ya Dano, I think the same way...:) I hate throwing things out.. And every time I do clean up and organize there is always something I threw away that I need desperatly a week or two down the road..hehe

Hey Paul, I wish I had the stuff you threw away..:) Great shop setup buddy...:)

I need to do the same to my shop, problem is, I need to borrow the Cat from work to do the clean out!  Like Dan, everything is covered in sawdust, and there's lots of "too good to toss" scraps around.  I actually do a better job in the winter, since I heat my shop with wood, it's amazing how many of those scraps find their way into my furnace, especially when my firewood supply gets low.  Later.
