I spent all of last evening tearing my basement shop and leather working area apart looking for a knife. I finished it off the other day at my main shop where the store is and was going to bring it home to do the leather work this weekend. I thought Carol had brought it home, she thought I had brought it home, neither one of us is certain we did not bring it home....senior's moments. So I spent the evening looking, too lazy to go back to the shop to check there.

The good bit is now my basement shop and leather working area are the cleanest they have been for years.
 
Yep, I hear you. Last year I had a blade all set for HT and till this day it is MIA. I put down a tool and then can find it till the next day. You know whats even worst when you put down your beer and it disappears till the next day. :eek: :D
 
I know exactly what you mean, George T. That's why have to keep my shop so clean just so I can work efficiently. Otherwise I spend days looking for stuff too. You guys tease me about my shop, but its really the only way I can keep my sanity. :p

If it ain't one butt its another. :eek: :eek: :D could you please bring my knife with you on Aug.2. I hope you finish it too. :D :D
 
I usually tries to keep a roation of about 3 beers.... on i the house one in the smith and one down stairs in the shop..... by the time he makes it fomr one place to another he forgot about the old beer and is always happy to find the new one.
yeah i make sure the last thing i do before i leave the shop is straighten things out and put everything back in its place..... table is cleaned off other than a chuck key a center punch a scribe and my push stick.
 
Grasshoppa: I keep trying to miss place you, but you keep showing up like a bad penny. Nah!! Like a bad hemorrhoid. :p :eek: :D

I packed some etching supplies in a box - put it in my trailer. Everything that was loaded in, got loaded out.

Can't for the life of me find that box....!!! :grumpy:

Even worse...can't remember what else was in there that I'm missing.....:(....yikes!



George T. - could've been worse:

I had a knife "disappear" off my shelf the day we moved in my new place. For the last 2 weeks or so, I've been fuming about it, because my bro-in-law is kind of a money-driven guy...(PC term for "rat" :D)...and I couldn't find the knife right after he left (had been using it to open boxes).

I didn't want to accuse him - not worth losing family over. But I really missed it...:(


Till yesterday when I found it at the bottom my toolbox....:rolleyes:


:footinmou
 
IG your older than a lingering fart
and still don't know how to drink a bear..
take notes next time I'm over

I never put a can down unless it's empty. we were given two hands for a reason, :D
 
George, you are the only one here that has done that. Well, ALMOST the only one. Well, maybe quite a few of us........................ . Hey, you did find that, umm-m -m-m, what was that thing you was looking for?
 
Lately I've taken to putting everything for a project into a box or a tub of some kind and labeling it. Otherwise, when the time comes to finally build it, I'll never know what the hell its there for! Etchers, anodizers, chunks of steel cut out for bandsaw legs... you name it. If its here, its got a purpose and I'll probably get to building it someday. Now where did I put those calipers...
 
When I got into the office this morning there it was sitting on the desk. Now that I have found it why was I looking for it in the first place?
