Default Tidying Up

Hi!

Does anyone out there have any neat ideas for collecting shavings from under
and around a lathe which might make the end-of-day tidy-up a bit less of a
chore?

I have a shelf (well, actually a wooden box full of concrete) under the bed
and don't want / can't afford a vacuum chip collector.

TIA.


Ian,
Just funnel it with some cardboard or whatever is handy so that the
chips end up in a single pile. Then shop vac / sweep that single pile.

Makes a big job a two-minute job.
