Thread: Untidiest bench

Pics 1 & 2. The sea of chaos in the centre, including the gardening gear, old computers, son’s drum kit, as well as all the stuff from the last move which didn’t find a home.

Pic 3. Not fair, I just tidied up at the w/e to start the next (ok ,ok finish the last….) project, so can’t really compete

Pic 4. WIP. Dovetailed drawers for bedside tables completed last year. The old steel bench with ply top cost $10, and has followed me half across the world. Works OK.

Pic 5. Not enough toys on the toolboard to compete!

Pics 1 & 2. Turning tool cupboard and lathe.

Pic 3 BS and homemade saw table / router table.

Pic 4 Sharpening, microwave and more clutter.

Time to fess up
This has been one of the messiest and and most untidiest threads for a while and I love it, but........

I only had all that crap on my bench while I rearranged some shelves in the shed.

Here is a pic of the "real" mess.

My shed used to be clean, my web page still shows it in its glory, but it comes to a point were you run out of room to put more benches or shelves and then I gave up. I promose I will clean it up before the next BBQ though Wendy, just not to Major's standard

I'm loving the thread though

Geez, I'm not that bad am I?? Don't answer that!!!!

You never know how things will turn out when I've settled into the shed well and truly

I will say you appear to have your work cut out.

Here's my home workbench.

Never clean, even when I clean it.


Wish I had pictures of some of the boatsheds and cabinet places I've worked at, they'd make all the workshops posted so far, look like organised operating theatres.

Here's my workbench in its untidiest state, in the middle of a job as I left it last night, and the third picture in its (un)natural state.

Finally got the next workbench built. Challenged myself to not buy anything to build it, (except a drawer unit) but had to be built from existing supplies - anything to try to reduce the pile a little.

So I've finally found a good use for the extra laundry bench, a good spot for the drawer units and the sandpaper storage units.

Isn't it always the way, as soon as one bench is finished it fills up immediately.....

cheers
Wendy
