soapbarstrat Posted October 14, 2004 Report Share Posted October 14, 2004 This thread should be pinned, because I'm just going to leave my shop as messy as it is right now (too busy to be cleaning up anyway), and maybe sometime within the next month, if I borrow the digital sony cam, I'll take some pics. It's about the same as yours. Plus, I seldom work on amps and effects, but I still have electronic parts debris to rival yours. You can be a busy mad scientist and have a huge mess as a result, or you can act like a bored bank employee and clean the place up. When I see pics of clean shops, it makes me think something's wrong. Like the person bought all the tools, set 'em up "real nice" and then just didn't know how to use them. I stopped worrying about how messy my shop is when I went to the local amp repair guy who has a store front walk-in shop and his counter space was a disaster. No clean place anywhere and at least 3" deep various parts and papers "layed out" in a chaotic manner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Setch Posted October 14, 2004 Report Share Posted October 14, 2004 A clean shop is essential if you want to work efficiently, and easy to achieve if you have a place for every tool. You can't charge people by the hour, and keep a clean concience if you spend 2 hours of each job trying to track down a tool or part you've buried. Of course, I don't do this for a living, and my shop space is about 6' x 5' of actual workspace, so it's always a tip. In the event that I do go pro, you can bet the first thing I'll do is get my workshop organised. Besides, I don't think there's any real competition for messiest shop: Remember Jeff?

Lex Luthier Posted October 15, 2004 Report Share Posted October 15, 2004 A clean shop is essential if you want to work efficiently, and easy to achieve if you have a place for every tool. You can't charge people by the hour, and keep a clean concience if you spend 2 hours of each job trying to track down a tool or part you've buried. That is the exact reasoning behind my shop being so anally clean and organized - machinery in one room, workbench and handtools in another room, handtools and jigs all organized in tool holders or hanging on the wall.

westhemann Posted October 15, 2004 Report Share Posted October 15, 2004 Remember Jeff? yeah that is the first thing i thought of as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soapbarstrat Posted October 15, 2004 Report Share Posted October 15, 2004 Maybe we should redefine "messy workshop". It might very well be an " ergonomically arranged workshop". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jer7440 Posted October 15, 2004 Report Share Posted October 15, 2004 LGM Love the mustang. I really like the detail painting around the exhaust and the guns. What size is it, around a .60 two stroke? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G_urr_A Posted October 15, 2004 Report Share Posted October 15, 2004 Mmm, nice work LGM, and thanks for the pics! It's kind of scary, because the lightning that your paintjob implies doesn't match the lightning in your shop (which is the way it should, since the plane is going to be outside), so the plane looks kind of "cut 'n' pasted" into the pic. Really nice detail work! And, to avoid getting into the HiJackers Hall of Fame, I'm going to say that my shop was very messy (as in you could barely get from the door and to the "back" wall), but me and my dad decided to clear it out this summer, so now I've got about 1.5 square meters of work bench area, and more than that of empty floor. So now I can move around and work in there. It's quite nice, really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
