Moved stuff outside so I can walk around the table saw
Ah, there it is. Found it! I thought I had a Unisaw somewhere in there :-)
The Radial Arm Saw resides temporarily on top of it
until I decides what to do with it. The cardboard box on top?
That's my portable spray booth :-)
Yah, I know lots of room for more downsizing/turfing...
But at least I can now walk around it, bonus
That poor jointer is starting to rust.
Its grand time I attend to my cast iron surfaces
in the garage and protect them. TS, RAS, Bandsaw, Jointer, DP
Also came across more handsaws (imagine that :-) and a few more tools I have not seen in a while.
Now I have an accumulating pile of stuff awaiting a truck for the dump, that, and a few boxes of donation and etc. Once these are gone, I will them continue with my late Spring clean up.
How warm is it around here now? My grass is turning yellow and crunchy, there is a burn ban all over Nova Scotia right now.
Bob, sweating buckets, man it is getting warm, but heh, not complaining, it could be snowing :-)
I feel your pain. It can be difficult. What helped me was for the better part of 10 years I lived in a small 1 bedroom condo that is roughly the size of my current garage. It forced me to downsize and donate many good items. When my wife and I were looking for homes, my biggest requirement was for a three car garage. I wasn't woodworking at the time but I knew I would be. It helps me control the chaos. Also, I found a local company that installs overhead racks in the garage so we can store many boxes of holiday decorations. That helped considerably.
ReplyDeleteLOL, for us it was need a two car garage minimum :-)
ReplyDeleteI thought a few times about overhead storage, but then, I'm thinking, if its for seldom used stuff (besides the obvious Xmas stuff) do I really need to even keep storing it? So far so good, but still need to get rid of more stuff for sure. I now like small shop, force you to rationalize more :-)
Bob, re inventing his power shop yet again
Oh, and just maybe, the car could sleep inside and avoid more @#^%& rodent's nest in the car. That would be a first since we had cars and garages :-)
ReplyDeleteBob
Good Rudy isn't in uniform doing a snap command inspection
ReplyDeleteYou know that was exactly what it felt like, sweating and all :-)
ReplyDeleteWe went for ice cream after, well deserved Rudy
Ahhh, I remember when I had a two car garage and could park a car in it and still have a shop ... Alas, that is just a memory now. But like you said Bob, it forced me to become more organized (and got me into hand tools).
ReplyDelete3 of our last 4 houses had 2 cars garage, the fourth a single car one, but the cars rarely seen the inside, just if I had to for repairs. I no longer work on my cars, so problems solved :-)
