My shop is a mess....

[SignWave]

ever had one of those days...?
My shop is a mess. I cant wait to get all the parts 'n' peices to get this honda 50hp back together. Ive got stuff on order, stuff on the way, and stuff stuffed into every corner. ugh...

I think i need to knock out the back wall and add 10 or 15 more feet...

SOMEBODY HELLLLLLLP!!!!

I'll take the Miller welder and the Ingersall Rand off your hands, that will give you a few more feet of space.

Seriously, it doesnt look that bad, I wish I had that much space. But then the equipment I use it scattered around a 75' x 150' shop, a lot of walking but only a 15' x 30' area to do most of my welding in.

Its pretty tight in there Kbar. My shop is about 29x15 and there is the area behind the cam that you cant see. Just as messy right now.

I'll throw in the drill press for another $4700.00. wadaya think? is that a deal or what?!?

You'll have to let me come to your shop though so that I can weld stuff and paint and the like...

[Noisy Nova]

All shops look like that.

Looks like your tablesaw pulls double duty like mine.
Still it looks like a nice shop. How is the floor coating holding up with sparks and stuff being dropped?

[Goodhand]

What's the problem? You still have space on the floor to run a broom. Wish I had that convenience in my shop. I have to stand with one foot in front of the other.

My wife says NO

Said she will buy me a welder for Christmas but I didnt tell her yet that I want a Bobcat

[k.a.m.]

needs more stuff ,you can still see the floor.everytime i go out to my shop my wife checks to see if the accident policys are up to date one time she gave me the e-track to find my way out. i have to do house cleaning in mine about once a month depending on projects. have faith signwave

It's work in progress

Sign, That's called "work in progress" and the shop isn't supposed to be clean! Or that's what is seems like! I just cleaned mine top to bottom a week ago.........and now that I'm repairing this snow plow.........well.........you get the picture. Hang in there and just clean it up when you're finished with the 50 Horse. Have a good one!

Yer justa bragg,n

I love it when someone takes a photo of their shop and says it's a mess! compared to mine it looks like a surgical center! I don't know how anybody can find anything in that shop it's just to clean. Perhaps a half fabed tailor, about a half ton of scrape metal and some spare tire rims could help organize the joint?

I can relate to the one foot in front of the other walking style not the best for keeping a calm demeanor.Mike

more stuff, scratched floor, surgery&bandaids,new tools and piles of junk&steel.

Thanks for all the kind words guys. I had a good laugh this morning!

The shop floor is not holding up well, after dragging my table saw around for the last two years (since I painted the floor) and welding sparks, grinding, and projects- its starting to show through so this coming summer its going to have to be done again. Maybe this time I'll use a real floor finish. A two part epoxy, but then again.... whats the point. Molten steel doesnt care if the floor is bare or painted, its still going to eat through it. There are a couple of spots where the molten puddles left a good impression.

The pile of scrap steel is out side. One pile in the driveway blocking the way and the other pile at the side of the house stopping the local kids from using my yard as a cut through. Blame the tire on the wife. she has yet to move it since she put new tires on her jeep..

I really hope i never have to clean up a red spot on the floor. the shop may be relatively clean from your POV, but there is nothing worse than a day "cut" short.


I think that im going to have to build some sort of rig to keep the plasma and the 250 in one spot an over/under style cart. that way i gain back a little floor space.

My problem is that I need this humble space to do my paying jobs as much as I need it to do my playing jobs. If only I could find that balance.. it seems to be one or the other.

Thanks for the great replies you guys.

Can I borrow somebodies coounterspace??

I was weathered off my intended job and spent the morning picking up, what a huge psychological difference.

No kidding. A dirty shop causes me grief. Always huniting for stuff, tripping over everything..Just cant do it well.
