Motivation Through Cleanup! The Great Shop Cleanup!

David sure left your shop in a mess when he came and got your Domino.

LOL I think you are out of sync with the Universe. Time to just relax and smell the roses for a couple more days and things will start coming together again for you!!. I’d suggest that in 2 weeks you buy a lottery ticket because you are going to be sailing!!!

Sit back and get ready for the ride. It’s going to be a good one.

Yeah, watch out for that cyber tool share. David’s shop is surgically clean. I think he was living some sort of “Messy Shop,” fantasy! LOL

I think Tom made his shop messy just so he could produce another video! LOL Noe that your shop is all nice and tiddy, I spotted a few things to borrow with the LumberJock CTS feature! I had to watch the video a couple of times so I could make a list.

Tom, I always enjoy your videos! I also like to watch Holmes on Homes!

Tom, you might want to mess it up again – so David can’t find anything

I think he’s got it all tagged now. I’m just glad the bandsaw is still there.

Hehe…nothing like a little manuevering room to provide some motivation. My version of shop cleaning is to move everything outside and turn on the leaf blower.

It would have taken me about 2 hours to muster up the courage to begin cleaning my shop. And another two hours just to push everything to one side to give the illusion of clean…. I think It would almost be easier to empty out my shed, and move my shop to there (only bringing up what I need, and finding new homes for it as I go…. Do you really think I can lug my shopsmith up a flight of 125 year old stairs – not gonna happen.

I think a clean shop makes you want to keep it clean, while a messy shop encourages you to make stuff – since Can’t get any messier, right?

Perhaps you can hop through the cyber share and clean up my shop. You will need about 6 hours I think.

Well, now it has the illusion of being clean. It’s currently lathered in burl shavings from my lathe and a nice little hunk of maple that I proceeded to destroy. :(

Well done Mot.

perhaps the hunk of maple wants to be something else….... “listen, Listen, listen to the wood.”

I’ve come to two conclusions: 1) You have too many routers…they are everywhere…under boxes…on the floor…in the router table. 2) You’ve either have a hard head( you survived two wacks in the head from that pipe) or a short memory,which is a result of getting hit in the head with a pipe more than once. LOL.

Great video, Mot. I was waiting for you to tell us that your son made that mess using his new bench and that was why the dead blow hammer and pliers were on the floor. ;^)

By the way, I noticed that your tool rest looked aweful far from your blank. Maybe it was your camera angle?

lol .. memory loss hahaha good one!!!

Hey Doc Mot….....I noticed that quarter still on edge, even among the mess…..amazing lathe.

Yeah, Neil. Now I just have to learn to use it. LOL
