    Default Shed Clean-up

    My workshop hasn't had a clean-up in quite a while, plus before I went on my Big Trip I had just finished the new carport out front, so just threw everything in afterwards and closed the door. I've always said you need hiking boots to work in my shed but it has gone past ridiculous so I'm getting stuck in.

    Here's a shot of my starting point, well almost, the second photo is the stuff I had to take out so I could take the photo

    and here's the lathe, it has got to the stage I have to bend down to use it

    Gawdelpus is coming around tomorrow to help out, then no doubt a heap of scavengers for the timber scraps I will be throwing out

    Cheers
    Neil

    OK Neil you win, it just beats my mess/shed, at least I don't have to empty part of it out to be able to get in there.

    Nah mate, I used to still get in, just needed to move the stuff for the photo . I remember climbing over the little bandsaw and cut off saw to cut some knife scales on the bandsaw just before I left last time .


    Hey Jim I just found my missing Crushgrind pepper grinders I bought off you, not the short one I got at Wagga Wagga this year, the long ones I bought ........ a long time ago

    Default A bit squeezy

    It's a pity 'Gelegnite Jack Murray' isn't around these days. I'm sure he would have been able to make some room in there for you Neil. Hope you know where the fire extinguisher is.

    What brand / model is your lathe?. It looks very substantial.

    Default Wow

    Neil
    Don't see what the fuss is all about, I have one or two worse.

    The comment regarding the hoarders was Gold, as was the bobcat I am think more excavator)

    Two pieces of advice I have for you, Skip bin abd Bonfire

    Good luck with the clean up, I love a good clean up, out with the old, make room for new toys

    Sincerely

    PS I am sure my workshop would pass the white glove test
