    In the days when I used to have a shed and a bench, the bench looked pretty much like yours. Every now and again, I give it a damn good clean which lasted for at least a day.

    No contest. You win. Hands down.
    If at first you don't succeed, give something else a go. Life is far too short to waste time trying.

    And which item would that be, Al? The one on top?

    I can't really laugh, it'd be the pot calling the kettle... I just had to grab my coffee cup from the shed, (How did it get out there? ) so while I was out there I took a few pix of mine:

    Not too bad, until I consider that only yesterday (or was it the day before?) all this was on there too...

    Mine gets like that, but when I have to look for something that is on the bench, and I can't find it right away, I stop and clean up.

    I worked at a place a LONG time ago, where the boss was really strong on the idea of cleaning up. We would spend 10 to 15 minutes before lunch, cleaning up, sweep the floor, pick up stuff, and put them back in their place. Then again, before quitting time, we had to spend 15 to 20 minutes cleaning up, we could not go home until stuff was cleaned up. Not a "Super duper white glove inspection" kind of thing, just put the tools away, and run the broom around the shop. I guess this work ethic stuck with me, as I generally do this myself now.

    I have a small space, takes only a few minutes to make it a mess but it is also easy to clean up.

    Each to his own for sure!
    It's a Family thing.....
