My workshop crowded out my weightroom, forcing me into buying membership at a gym. Most of my work is done from the beanbag. There's a drill press and bandsaw atop the chest of draws to the upper left side of the photo. The other half of the room is also filled with tools, up to the ceiling.Here's one thing I organized. Since I am always losing pencils and drill bits, I made a holder for them.
curious if anyone else has as messy a work area
Have fun with your trains

I am ashamed, my workshop is a 2 car garage with 1 car in it as well, and it gets a bit messy from time to time but we have parties regularly and everyone wants to look at what i am doing. So most of the time it is pristine. This is not a reflection of my character, more that of my wife who gets involved in projects regualarly and she often says lets clean up th garageand we do.

What kind of chicken s*#t topic is this? Workshops are for the birds. I don't want anybody to cry fowl, but this is eggsactly the kind of topic that could harm the hobby. Has good sense flown the coop around here?

Jack i thought i was seeing things when i saw that Union Jack previously; are you secretly or have you ever been a pom. If not why the Union Jack.
Kim, you are closer to the truth than you think! Yes, it's a 71 Triumph and I did paint the Union Jack on the tank because I got tired of the "nice Harley" comments. Currently it's in the final stages of a 100% frame off restoration. Briliantly engineered bikes, but in typical British fashion it was constructed by the villiage idiot. Wouldn't have it any other way!
The chicken is real.
Not me!
I found a simple solution. Build a new one.
Of course that was some time ago but I keep the mental picture - Easier than cleaning the place up!
Ah, so the chicken is doing the frame up then Jack? Scenes from Wallace & Grommet's Chicken Run spring to mind!!
My shed is a little bit tidier than most it would seem.
Kim i have been i there personally and it looks pretty good, though a bit messier than in 2005. But the mess looks like an orderly mess.

While on an errant in town I happened to hear on CBC Radio that being disorganized forces you to think and keeping your gray matter in shape.
Of course there is also the saying that well organized people are just too lazy to look for things.
I guess the well-organized do all the thinking while they get organized.

Looks like a corner out of my office.

That brings to mind my only real hard and fast rule: Only drinkable stuff goes in drink cups. If I need a cup of rinse water, it goes in a different style cup. (I usually use Cubs cups collected from visits to Wrigley Field for drinking out of, so anything else is probably not mine.)
Btw, it sounds like you guys are missing an important distinction: Organized is being able to find what you want within the first 60 seconds of looking for it. Messy is a lack of defined order. I'm messy, but I'm pretty organized.
Ha. I bet your mother loved hearing that as a kid. LOL
