I know it's time to clean up when I can no longer reach down to turn or carry those large green lumps of wood up and over the rising wood shaving hills to the lathe...

On the other hand I'm with you on the dust, Jeff, and fanatical about dust (lung) protection.

....

That's a good effort Neil!

....

Doing some flatwork recently made me realise just how much dust turning generates. V. diff from a pile of plane shavings on the floor.

Truth be told, only about 1/3rd of those bags were from the cypress posts of last week. (Horrible stinky stuff. :yuck: )

But, not as stinky as the green silky oak that filled over half of my bags. In comparison the cypress was quite aromatic....

yes! that can be a bit stinky, but after a week of handling these things..... :green:

Some are under the mistaken belief that my shed is a nice, clean and spotless workplace.

Alas not:

Having space is not always a great thing. Just more room for mess!

Anyway, I hope the pics clarify some misconceptions that I'm a "clean freak".

You're doing okay, there's plenty of things everywhere to fall over, just like any decent shed.

Just more room to do it in.

Has Col been there again?

They must be the after the cleanup photos. So, where are the before the cleanup photos?

Neil, you must be offering to come over and do a proper tidy up. The VL 300 end looks kinda clean as Col blows all the chips / shavings under and behind the beast. Under the carpet so to speak.

New dust extractor for the long bed ordered today with Jim C. so the dust from sanding should be lessened.

, you must have turned a heap of finials that day.
It takes me years to get my shed looking that good.

But Ken there is a subtle difference in the size finials you both turn.

Yer reckon?

The English language doesn't really have what it takes to describe that difference.

'Worlds apart' doesn't do it 'cos they aren't but they are.

Jeff, easy to solve the dust problem.............. don't use sand paper..
