Default About finding stuff in the shop; Real machinists need pay no attention.

I've found this part to be very true, Andrew..

Hey, if its been chaotic for you for eons, it aint going to change -
think of some ways to make it easier, rather than the moon shot of
total re-organisation.

I have yet to see a disorganized person become organized. I've taken it
upon myself to clean and organize other guys' shops and garages because
they were constantly bitchin and going into fits of rage for not being
able to find what they needed, even though it was nearby.




The damnedest part of it is, I usually wind up owning at least THREE of most
every really useful hand-tool. Cause when you REALLY need it, the original
can't be found, and it is usually (easier/simpler/quicker - take your pick)
to run around to the "toy store" and buy one more ('cause you just never
know when you might need it).

(In my will, my entire claw-hammer collection will be divided between my
kids and my best friend down the street, with a few left over nail the box
shut)
