Chocolate fish to me please Whiplash..:D
no matter how much space i add there seems to be plenty to fill it.
I'm in the proces of cleaning/orginizing right now. I have been working on it for 3 days and no end in sight. Seems like I'm just moving piles of stuff from here to there! Actually our car club is having it's annual swap meet in a couple weeks so I do have a sell/freebie pile started.

I had a friend with a shop that stayed spotless..Thieves broke in and wiped him out..Had the place been a pigsty like mine they would have never found enough stuff in a short time to make it worth their while.
That's the story Shine. A very nice workshop and love those Corvettes, what s the 50's sports coupe around the corner?? :cool: Dmw56, yes it is an ongoing problem trying to keep things tidy and I believe that no sooner does one swap or sell something, that very part is required in the next few weeks. :( Daffy427, sorry to here about your friends workshop , we suffer from lowlifes like that down here too sadly. When I was manager of a bodyshop in Auckland, We were broken into and all our tools were stolen so I know that horrible gut feeling of been cleaned out. :mad: Lamin8r, your chocy fish is in the mail. Steve basically could only use the body and the tube chassis of the Stormbringer T when he rebuild it. I believe Bryce had a jag bum in it but when Steve got it ,it had no rearend .:(:(
I hate to admit it but my shops a mess right now.
Got some water that came in under my door and got my steel sticks wet.
Had a buddy come over and move the steel for me since I was sick.
But now I have rust accrossed my whole shop floor.
I may have to repaint it if it won't come up.

Mine is a pig sty!!!!!
Ya Ken; I am supprized the dirt police have not come for you yet!!!
HE! HE! HE! We should all have a shop that nice.
I used to work out of my living room too, so don't feel bad.
Kurt
Heck Ken, is that carpet on the floor????:HMMM: I believe everybody on this site should/would be envious of your (A) workshop, (b) project, (C) those tool chests. And I will be cheeky and ask, Is the BIG screen TV and bar on the opposite wall ????;);):)
Pro70z28 I am also envious of your workshop space and now that I have activated this thread, I will have to front up with some photos of my single garage that is not only the working space for my T Bucket but also storage space for the remainder of my house funiture as I sold my home to move in with my elderly mother to care for her in her later years.
Vara4 I had a mate (kiwi terminlogy for friend) that used to build almost all his cars indoors to mockup stage then dismantle, paint etc and final assembly in his driveway because he didn't have power on in his garage.. Funnily enough,that ground to an abrupt end when he met his wife, no sense of humor some woman eh!!:(
Ken,with all due respect,we will have to serve you with the Kiwi ''Tui Ad ''....
Mine is a pigsty.....YEAH,RIGHT....:LOL::LOL:
Its a advertisement idea that a brewery down here uses.....Something like
'' I did not have sex with that woman.''....Yeah,right....:LOL:
Just hope you never get to see my fibreglass workshop...ON A NICE CLEAN DAY..
Something you newer guys may be unaware of is Ken's wife generously vacuums his "shop" for him..................apparently he thinks she's been slacking!;)
She missed a spot in front of the hoist......:)Quote:

I was taught as an apprentice to put away all my tools at the end of the day. That lesson was well learned. Still parts that I plan to use are piled around the shop.
To each his own..
