OBUK, I would feel right at home in your shed!!!

now you know why i dont keep ratsack in the shed, afraid the mice will make a breeding bed in it lol

I try to keep a reasonably tidy shed, & partially succeed. Not because I'm a fuss-budget, but out of necessity, since I have barely enough room to work. This is about as bad as it gets, I was breaking down a heap of wood that came as a through & through sawn log, plus sundry other bits of useable stuff collared from my brother.... This is where I stopped & cleaned up a bit, as it was getting impossible to move.

Cheers,

I don't much care about 'clean and tidy' for its own sake.

Do care about getting around without tripping over something and about finding what I need promptly.

And esp. care when I'm starting a new project. A mind free of nags produces better results.

If I let the place turn into a brothel, it stays a brothel for a long time. I really don't like to work that way, can't work that way. If I clear the bench everyday the rest follows. I think about fire all the time. Not to mention stepping on a Brown Snake.

When i cleaned out my workshop (yes I did clean it out once, could even see the floor and all the roofing iron in and out) I thought i found a brown snake wedged between some brick s in the corner.

It just turned out to be a fat blue tongue lizard. My new shop will look some what different to my current one

Edited Ok my mistake me thinks it could be door handle of cupboard

Nope, you were right on your first assumption but there's nothing mounted in the chuck so no need to turn it on. That cupboard does have a few dings in it from 'projectiles' though

you should come down with Mrs Skew and see what we can make in there. might not find any findings but who know what else we might find in there

A little self-delusion goes a long way

Mine is: one day I'm gonna pull everything out and redesign the whole set-up

My father was and is (though he is well into his 80's now) the smartest and messiest man I have ever met. He has the ability to see a pile of junk and manufacture useful objects from it. His last project was to turn a broken cordless drill into the power source for a remote control gate. He designed all of the mechanical and electrical components, built the housings and the solar panels to run it. He is also the most untidy man I have ever met. The whole world is his workbench. Every single spanner, saw, drill, piece of timber or steel and every prototype of every device he has conceived can be found somewhere within a random distribution of space about him. I am just the opposite. Compared to him I am as thick as two short planks. (This does not distress me since most of the rest of the world fairs no better in comparison either.) I also have pathological distaste for mess.

Or does every shed need one of those?

If you look closely there's actually two disco balls hanging in there

I got the kitchen cheap from a renovation. Good to for plenty of storage and bench space when I can see the bench space after using the storage
