I wouldn't call that a mess, I can still see plenty of the floor

And open bench space! :P Been organizing my building areas so I can get a jump on the building season and maybe spend less of it in the colder garage and more in the slightly warmer basement this winter.

RE: messy shop area
I must be in the running for a prize!
The realy messy workshop with all the dead aircraft in is my old workroom that i grew out of.
2 shots of my living room the TA152 is so large i dont have any where else to store it.
My daughter left home so i migrated to her room where the TA is getting new Sierra legs.

RE: messy shop area
The above pics are all fine examples of what a good shop should look like. [sm=thumbs_up.gif]
A friend spent a week cleaning and painting his shop. The floor has a new coat of epoxy. The walls and ceiling have a fresh coat of white. He even cleaned the nicotine from his light fixtures !
I couldn't work in a shop such as his. Every time I dropped/spilled something, I'd figure that it would need to be cleaned up immediately. I'd be spending more time, keeping the shop clean, than building.
Personally, I feel that if I can still see the floor, the shop is clean. LOL

With me it's a function of how long I spend looking for something I know I have and use all the time but can't find...

RE: messy shop area
I just cleaned mine last weekend. I used a leaf blower to get all the dust out It took about 30 minutes to blow all the dust out the door before I started to use the shop vacuum. Now it's ready for the next project.

Even though I can't come close to these shops on mess, I think it is a great thread and expresses what real true modelers can create doing what they love best ! Keep em' coming! Good going wingspar! LOL! Paul

I organize all the time and five minutes later after I work in there the place is a mess! I try and try to keep it clean but no way am I able to do it, if someone has a system that works please share it! My shop is in the house, it was the master bedroom that my daughters shared and when the last one moved out I turned it into a shop, shop light power tools the works!

RE: messy shop area
AAAHHH, no Arfs in this thread. You guys are the best. Unfortunately, my camera refuses to take a pic of my shop till the mess is cleaned up. Leave it to me to purchase a female camera, of all the luck. Keep building guys, we'll put those Arf companies out of business yet.
