Allen posted pictures of his shop in process of re-organizing and cleaning... thought I would post latest of mine..
This is more or less the most organized it's been in a while and not planning to do much more to it, other than when the weather gets nicer, may open the doors and take the shop vac and see if I can blow some of the dust out.... even with my DC and fans, sweeping, vacuuming and cleaning after every session, I still have a layer of dust on every thing in there.
I spent the last week that I could get out there cutting up some walnut that I got last summer. The wood has laid outside the shop and I started cutting the logs and splitting them, then piled in the shop to cut blanks.. still have about half the walnut, a whole hackberry tree and a pile of Royal Paulownia to get processed. I've had a habit of taking any wood someone offered me and stacking it behind the shop... I lost a couple of tons of wood that I couldn't get processed... wound up in the burn pile because of weather rot and neglect.
Anyway this is what the shop looks like today... this is one end where the lathe, table saw and wood storage is.
Bowl blanks ready to turn... blanks range from 5 to 10 inches dia...
Other end of the shop where the work bench, finish table, sharpening station etc... most of the stuff on the wall needs to be culled and tossed.. mostly pen stuff needing some re-work or such and I'll probably never do it.... the bench has 24 pepper mills in various states of being finished...
Organized Chaos.....
