Doesn't look bad. I wish I had that much room.
Noticed the Novus polish. Good stuff and I use it in 3 grades on the Acrylic's.

You can still see the table top in places so there is room to spare.  When I can't find an item and can't proceed without it I start putting things away until it appears.

I see some peanuts & is that an eggroll in a Tupperware?  Mandatory tools for sure.

Looks great, Keith --

Basically only one level of stuff on the bench now -- sometimes mine gets double or triple stacked.

Best,

Fred

Candied Almonds :D and Brass wool.

Most of the time I have to go from one reel to another without cleaning up. The metal trays eventually get full of questionable bearings and parts. The trays have parts from all different types of reels. They usually get knocked over so its really a mess.

These are only the ones you can see. I have another identical table covered with stuff. I will show it tomorrow. We did make a little mess preparing for the last hurricane a week ago. My shop is in a flood zone. My house is on pilings.

That looks good Keith! I have unsalted peanuts on  one of my workbench and the fridge with Peroni isn't  far ;).
If I didn't have 5 work areas I wouldn't be able to keep up with the mess.

I use the same system Keith - open plan with everything in a place (somewhere).

Thanks for that.  I was worried I needed to clean mine up.  After seeing yours I think I can let it go until the new year.

It looks like you are working for peanuts.   ;D Or ignoring the elephant in the room.  Dominick
