I see shops of anal persons, and I just cringe. As long as I can find it,
just don't mess with any of my "stuff". It's just when I can't find it that
I really start getting ****ed, particularly if someone else has been in
there. I get mad enough when I misplace things.

Ayup. Ive got guys that come over and use stuff..then put it "away" and
I get ****ed off when it takes me 3 months to find it again.

If there is a place for it, I want it put back there. That is my
rant at workplaces: just because you don't have time to put it away,
doesn't mean I have time to look for it!

Although, it sounds like in your shop, the right place is where
you found it. the first time. Or where you were using it last.

Actually....everything does have its "place" in my shop. The drawers
are marked as to contents..lathe tooling, milling cutters, dovetail
cutters, keyway cutters, collets etc etc. The drawer stacks under the 2
heat treating furnaces are where most of the
cutters/tooling/reamers/measuring/ yada yada live. Crom but I love the
old IBM punch card cabinets for this sort of thing! The white cabinet
on the end of that stack..has deeper drawers, one with racks for milling
cutters, one with various rotary abrasives, one with rotory table,
milling fixtures etc etc. Hell..Ill snap some photos of the drawer
contents maybe tonight.

Years ago, I would visit The Other School, down in Switzerland.
Because of the polyglot nature of the students, the kitchen cabinets
had black and white photographs on the doors, showing what was inside
(and how it was suppose to look when everything was done.). I have
been tempted more than once, to do similar.

There is clutter, and there is chaos. I don't like clutter, but I
hate chaos.

We will drink no whiskey before its nine.
It's eight fifty eight. Close enough!
