I prefer an uncluttered shop, a place for most tools, but I don’t mind seeing dust on an item or two. I see other woodworkers spend an inordinant amount of time ‘cleaning up their shop’. I would think they would far benefit by spending that time spent on improving their DC system. I think one should make an attempt to clean from time to time, but I see far too much time spent cleaning up shops. I think a better use of time would be organizing to keep the clutter down.
