HEY!! I am getting like a kid again!!

[TXGunNut]

My "shop" is 12x16 foot, it has the riding lawn mower in it, the snow blower, the Traeger smoker, rolling tool box, radial arm saw, shelves, a work table that is usually buried... ohh and materials stacked in whatever spot I can find that has room... I need a new workshop!

My loading/casting room is a small extra bedroom. With two big workbenches, two shelving units and a couple of bookcases it gets a little crowded. First step for any work session in there is often a clean-up so I can get some work done. Heat cycling some new moulds today and doing a little cleanup in there as well. Funny how big a mess I can make building a simple knife. By the time the heat cycles are complete I should have enough room to use them, LOL.

My problem is that I spend too much time thinking about the Hereafter. I walk into a room and think, "What am I here after?"

[waksupi]

You guys actually find things when looking for them?

Got one up on me.

I ALWAYS find things I'm looking for. Usually, shortly after I have bought a replacement.

[williamwaco]

Took me over 70 years but I finally got organized and got it all together.





Now If I could only remember where I put it?

Second Childhood is great....play hide-n-seek all the time for tools.....

[Menner]

Yeah he was but he puts my tools back when he is done now

[wild thing]

Why are all you guy's worried about finding your tools ? By the time you get to them you forget why it was needed. John

[Blacksmith]

The search is half the fun. You keep finding things you forgot you had.

I had a son who would leave my tools and stuff laying out in the yard or wherever he was when he used it. He is now much more organized than I ever was but I got my revenge twice over; he gave me two grand children, now it is his turn. And I hereby apologize to my father for when I was a boy.

I am in the process of moving and some stuff I remember having but haven't seen in the move yet, boxes should be see through
I can't wait for my second childhood just hope I have the get up and go I did in the first

[DLCTEX]

I grew up in a tractor dealership. Dad was forever asking my brothers and I if we put tools back in the tool box. We always said we did because we privately called the shop floor "the big toolbox".

[John Allen]

I think we have all been there. I cleaned my shop up once and found 15 razor knives.

Next spring I need to hire 2 young kids, totally empty the shop toss the junk that I should have trashed years ago then insulate and drywall so I can use it better in winter. I need to find a cheap cargo container to hold the mower, snowblower, garden tools etc.
