Last night out in the shop I had an epiphany... it is Time, no matter how Cold it gets tomorrow, I absolutely Must get the shop cleaned out of sawdust and scraps. My past few trips out there have been in 'production' mode and while that is a good thing when you get things done, there comes a time when you have to pay the piper.
While it isn't going to be on the scale of Glenn''s or Rennie's shop rehab, I definitely have some work ahead of me. The planer shavings were literally ankle deep in spots last night. My DC is still in pieces from being in storage so I've been letting the chips fly as they will. Of course that meant that I got an oh so 'healthy' dose of Dust last night as well. I also have this growing pile of scraps to deal with. I am literally considering a bonfire in the backyard tomorrow to get the pieces which won't make it as pen blanks or other scrappy items under control.
I also need to clear my two benches off and get them pushed back against the wall. I've been working in a very small space in the center of my very small shop the past few trips, of course I've also been huddling near my kerosene heater those same trips, so moving around wasn't a priority. Last night however I realized that had to be dealt with as well. SO, I'm going to layer up, and tackle the reorganization. Wish me luck!
