Re: My shop's a mess
It doesn't look too bad, a little like organized clutter. Organized clutter is an oxymoron isn't it, kind of like giant shrimp  .

Re: My shop's a mess
Mike those parts bins look familar...if they came from where I think they did I think that they are infested with Sliding Compund Miter Saw disease (Steve Coles Messy Shop Disease), .gif "Drogar BigGrin(DBG)") Since he got rid of them look how neat his shop has become.

Re: My shop's a mess
At least all of your tools aren't crammed into a storage container.  I would absolutely love to walk into "my shop" and look around at the clutter and smile. You've got it VERY good.

Re: My shop's a mess
Yep.
I really like them, I keep all my boxes of screws and bolts in there.
When ever I need a screw or bolt I buy a whole box, then I have them the next time I need the same size. Has saved me lots of time and many trips to town.

Re: My shop's a mess
Trent,
For ten years all this stuff was stacked in my barn with chicken poop all over it. When I finally built my shop (that took over a year working mostly alone) I had to refurbish all of the tools. I may have it good but I worked my butt off to get it.
Sorry, I didn't mean to be harsh. Just mean it wasn't easy, took lots of time and had to keep at it a little at a time.
Do the best you can with what you have and you'll have a lot more than you think.

Re: My shop's a mess
But you need Steve's magic claw over the tablesaw. 
When I saw his sled hoist, I couldn't help but think how much stuff I could get on it before raising it.   
It's funny how the light selection and placement always seems to show everyone's primary interest.
Looks like a tasty wood selection and the web strap is a great idea.
Very nice! (Just my opinion, but I'm right. ) |

Your comment inspired me to hunt down a tool glossary I posted a while back which included the definition of a table saw:
TABLE SAW: Expensive storage surface used to store unfinished projects in garages of want-to-be cabinetmakers. Called a saw only because when turned on, it will cut and clear all contents off the table and scatter them across the garage.

Glad that worked out for you
