I can't look at one more picture of a neat, clean shop!! The only touch-up I did for these pic's was to take my dirty underwear off the drill press.

This area doubles as my kitchen, I'm a wizard with a one-burner hot-plate!
 
Heart and soul of the operation! This is in the basement- no ventilation. I keep buying parakeets and when they die, I know it is time for more oxygen.

Wish I'd had those fire extinguishers for the first explosion!!! Live and learn!
 
I thought you said you couldn't look at any more neat pictures. Where's the mess?....geeeze....you neat guys really tick me off!:D

A trick for your basement. Move your bandsaw down there. When the field mice aren't fresh when they get ground up, it's time to get upstairs.
 
That's one hell of a shop Richard! :) Sure beats mine.
Why are those electrical connections just semi-professional? Oh, I get it... professional ones don't have plugs and insulation :D

Wait a minute, Sunny Delight and thread cutting oil on the same pic? Do they mix?
 
I was wondering about the Tanquerie(sp?) Gin and the propane torch? Looks like fun.
I also got a new tag line quote out of this one.
 
Shoot I can still see several places that a feller could work, my bench is so messy I have to do most of my work on the floor. :D
You grab the wrong bottle and you'll get a buzz, :barf:

the walls are too bare and you need about 50 grinding belts in varied used condition hanging off of anything possilbe:D
 
Hell if I posted pics of my shop...OSHA would send out a SWAT team, and I would have people cancelling orders..;) Tanqueray wont ever be found in the shop but can be found in my freezer.. I also have that SAME Craftsman work table for my sheath work... Clutter works for me...

Finally,

The truth comes out. I agree it's way to tidy still. My shop has belts and stack of stuff everywhere.
 
Hey, y'all. I was feeling a need to poke a little fun at myself. I had just spent a frustrating 1/2 hour trying to find a small ball-peen hammer in that junk, only to find that for once I had put it back where it belongs! Go figure.:)
 
I wouldn't worry about the gin bottle as much as the ASPCA coming after you for what must be the murder of hundreds of parakeets in the basement. Maybe the gin helps to get you over the loss.

That's hardly a "messy" shop.
Your walls are still white.

My shop is so filthy that the grinder dust just sticks all over the walls, floor and even the ceiling.
 
Woah! I thought my shop was messy. I'll take a pic tomorrow. I've got almost 3 square feet of benchspace cleared. I can't even begin to compete.
 
Heck mine only gets cleaned out a couple of times a year.Now with the dust exaust system it will probably only get cleaned up once a year..I agree that you have to much wall space open.Get the belts up on the wall and also start making photo copies of knives you like and have them and pictures of girls all over the rest of the walls and your shop will be perfect (minus the liquer bottles):D :p :D
