my shop
Sep 11^th, 2010 at 6:02pm

Here are some pix of my shop. It is 30' x 30'. Just built this winter. My 65th birthday present. Hard to believe all this stuff was in my garage. Has almost anything I could want. Could use a new sharpening system. Pix 5 is my homemade system.

Shavings? They are where they are supposed to be. In the compost pile. I learned as a kid on the ranch from my father you clean up at the end of the day. That included washing the tracter and greasing it. I also had a shop teacher that made you clean up at the end of every class. I always clean up at the end of day. As a retired helicopter pilot the maint. shops were so clean you could eat off the floor. A dirty shop is also a safety issue, i.e. fire, tripping over something etc. OCD I know! Grin
