Two weeks ago this was a well organized work bench but after several gun projects and accessory projects it is total chaos.
I blame it on gremlins but I gaurentee they won't clean it up.

Damn Gremlins they'll get you every time. My wife always questions how my brain works. When I'm cooking something I clean as I go but when I'm working on project its add another item to the pile.

And it took you two weeks to do what I can do in two hours.

Looks odly familiar, where did you get that clamp on work light?

That's what I was thinking !

Looks better than my work bench and my small lathe [it gets the overflow some of the time].
That light looks kinda new

 

[TDM]

Just shows you had a lot of fun.

@Beaverman2
I picked the lights up at Menards. They have a low and high setting and are great for adjusting the light to where you need it.
These old eyes ain't what they used be so I need all the help I can get.

Thanks, unfortunately we do not have Menards in WA, do you remember the name of the light or the manufacturer?

My bench is a lot worse than yours when mine is so called clean

 

[Adam in WI]

Yeah I'd have to spend a couple hours cleaning to get it looking that good

Not only do they trash your work bench, they hide tools and supplies that were in plain sight 30 seconds ago. My wife calls them shop Farries and if you talk to them real nice they will bring stuff back. The one thing that is missing from your bench that is on mine is the snap mouse trap.

That's pretty tame compared to mine. I might get voted off the island if I took a picture of my mess. Somethings gotta give soon. I'm just afraid if I cleaned it up, I couldn't find anything.

My work area takes on that look. I have to stop and re-group every so often. What took you 2 weeks may only take me 2 hours...lol especially when doing multiple tasks in the same area even if on one project. Loss of small parts is always an issue with the organized mess method.

I learned to cook in a restaurant kitchen. You never have as many pots and utensils as you have customers. So I learned to clean as I go. The habit stuck and it's how I am in the home kitchen. When the food is in or on the range I wash off the cutting board, sit and sip something while it cooks.

When the wife cooks and the food is on the stove she turns around and looks at a mountain of utensils to wash. She doesn't seem to mind but it would make me nuts.

YEUP! LOOKS FAMILIAR! Even when I try to stay organized eventually a tornado blows through, and leaves my bench looking like a bomb went off.

 

[bptactical]

LOL- y’all clean your bench?

 

[Rebel bull]

I drive my son nuts because when he works he doesn't put **** away "not enough time" then when I go to work I have to walk around and pick up tools while I'm looking for the 1 that isn't in the tool box that I need
