shop layouts

Man it sure looks bad in the pictures. It was mentioned before, I too clean the place up and ten minutes later it is trashed again. I generally run 2 to 3 machines at a time so the place gets dirty in a hurry. I am getting better though. I have been buying shelving and boxes for alot of stuff and am slowly getting more organized. I also have been trying hard to clean up dust and shavings to limit fire hazards. I used to let it pile up and clean it every week or two. I now try to clean up the shavings every night and get them out of the shop whenever I am cutting alot of wood. The one thing I am wanting to get now is a good sturdy desk to use for assembly and inlays. I would like the drawers for all the rings and parts and a storage area for all the epoxy dispensors. All in good time I guess.

damn chris, that's immaculate compared to my pigpen
i like to refer to my shop as "semi-organized chaos"

Hey Chris,
It's not so bad. You can at least still see where everything resides. Watch out for the fire martial though. A simple fire extinguisher or two would be nice to see. Dust explosions are a real issue if it's dry.

Tom there are about 8 of them in there. the larger ones are on each wall and small ones on the floor by the machines. These were snapped before cleaning up for the day. Not that I clean it till spotless but I get up any piles of dust/chips.
