Oh that's nice.  I need to come up with something soon.  I've become inefficient.
:D I talk with every part I send out and each reel I repair so that they perform at the top of their game. :D

Cheers guys :) I think I had a dream last night of being in Fred's workshop ;D
I really must get my work space (sorry dear 'Utility Room') properly organised - but working around 2 fridges, washing machine and a wine cooler :(
I'm getting there - but sloooowly :D

My Garage space, unbearably hot in summer and cold in winter.

Always lots of stuff torn apart.







If I ever clean it up and organize it
I will take another picture.

Nice setup AA --

Actually wouldn't take too much to organize that nicely.

(It looks good now).

Good tools, good fishing equipment -- obviously good, and varied skills.

This is what worked for me to store a few hundred rods -- just pvc, scrap wood, little sheeting on the back wall.

Might have cost $100 - $150.

You have some nice gear that could use protecting as you do other projects -- plus you wouldn't need one this large probably.

Best,

Fred

WOW :o And I thought I had a few rods ;D
Is that the loft space above your workshop?
Great idea with the pvc pipe :)

Yes,

I built out 5 separate rooms separated with adjoining doors on the ground floor.

This was in an old red barn -- now it is paneled, insulated, etc..

Additional tackle room, tool room, additional tool and assembly work room, room for stationary power tools, gardening room -- 40' X 20' outside footprint -- 3 rollups.

Then added the loft which is another 800 square feet, staircase, lighting throughout shops, and 128 electrical duplex plugs -- all in Quad Raco boxes, and EMT.  Each quad box has 2 duplex plugs -- each on a separate 20 amp circuit.  All are 48" above the floor.  Plus also added some 240V, if ever needed.  Sub-Paneled, and all runs off the generator in case the power goes out.

Wife does stained glass on one side of the loft -- I do excess fishing gear on the rod side.

Best,

Fred

My wife and I got a big kick out of Chris's description of his new screwdriver and bit holder -- as a "Tidy".

That's a great name for it -- as well as a very good job of woodworking.

When I clean up at night, after working on reel jobs -- everything has a place -- and it is visually quick to put everything back for another go at it tomorrow.

Best,

Fred

Beautiful shot Fred.

Forget about all the reasons why something may not work. You only need to find one good reason why it will.

Fred,
If you could remove the snow and your trees and insert Cactus and sand, that red sunset would make a good Baja sunrise.  Actually the best Baja colors come 15-20 minutes before the sun actually come up!!
Beautiful, Fred
