I have been out in my shop several times today. I turned on the fan. I moved the cut pieces from a project from one flat surface to the next. I sat down on one of the shop stools and shook my head in disgust. I have never been an advocate of a spotless shop. I DO however believe a shop should be reasonably well organized and workable. My shop is workable only using extreme measures. It is so far from organized it boggles the mind. Sitting there on the stool, I realized that with some of my bigger projects coming up soon, the shop will have to be fixed. Now, not only am I disgusted, I am depressed. My shop gets redone more than most living rooms. Generally it involves trying to squeeze a few more things into it and almost never works out as planned. I have been reading some of the 'get organized' sites and I have gathered a few things here and there. The most slap you in the face point is an unorganized workplace is hard to work in and usually becomes depressing. Damn! I hate it when other people are SO right. Well, if you have read this far you now know another redo looms on the horizon. To my credit, the pottery wheel is no longer in the shop! I have whittled down as best i could and STILL have entirely too much stuff in too small a space. No matter, I am going to make do the best I can. The ideal goal would be everything having a place, and everything IN its place. Yes, I am dreaming but it would be nice. No work today, I am thinking about how best to redo. Yes, I'm as tired of doing that as you are reading about it. If you have a neat shop, pat yourself on the back! I am more than a little envious. Have a great day, I'm off to stew.
