messy bench?

[Birddog6]

Just tell her if she don't let up, you are going to build two more work benches & mess them up to ! :hmm: After my 3rd. bench my wife quit griping, and all 3 of them are still a mess. :idunno:
I thought they were supposed to be that way, it indicate you actually do something, other than dust up your work bench. :haha:

I've got 2 benches no lie I frequently start on one, move to the other clean up the first one, orininally I had 2 benches for 2 different projects. It seems there both a mess no matter how organized I am. Theres a reason I buy duplicates of everything. So I can find it some where

i have a pile of stuff in the corner of my shop and i think that somewhere under it is a bench.

Roy Underhill is a neat freak compared to me.

now, i built that bench about a decade ago, so i know there is one of those 'top' thingies in there somewhere ... yes, there must be: something has to support the big pile of stuff.

no doubt the winning lotto ticket is under there, no, wait- i don't buy lotto tickets, winning or otherwise.

"A clean gun smithing workbench is a sign of a sick mind" or something like that :rotf:

Beat me to it. And I know of what you stated, as right now the bench is clean!

Funny, I heard the same comment at a class Jerry was teaching. Jerry's response was that a $35 piece of gold to fill the pan added $1000 to the price of the gun. Every paid attention to the class after that.

The to best smiths that I ever worked with were at opposite ends of the spectrum. One's workbench was absolutely clean, dusted and vacuumed daily. The other had 3" of shavings on the bench and 6" of shavings on the floor. Weird thing is both of them could find every tool they needed immediately. :bow:

This thread influenced me today. I was build another building bench, and decided the smaller the top the less junk? The new bench top is 48" X 15" with a vice mounted in the front.

Actually, my work bench doubles as our spare holiday table. So one a year, I have a clean sweep for and aft. And, I do have to remove what ever is attached to the top.
