good morning...
not impressive...but it's all i need...i built it in 1980...about half the size of a one-car garage...12' x 13 1/2'...
room for my workbench, work table, chair, tools, supplies and trains...fully insulated, air conditioned, heated, ceiling fan, telephone, tv, radio...the back wall has floor to ceiling shelves...just about everything a "man-cave" needs...
it's getting a new roof this week, painted and the gutters put back up...
my very best regards...

How long did you spend organizing it before you took the photos?

Very nice Howard! Congratulations - This is a great 'before' shot. Let's see it again after a few projects

regarding "my organized shop"...how much did i have to clean up before the pix were taken?.. how the shop looks after a few projects?...
here is the "honest truth"...
i promise...
not much different than the photos...everything has a specific place...and i tidy up between building steps...i just can't work with clutter...yes, a wee bit of OCD...but that's a good thing in a small work area...
my very best regards...

That's funny, Howard. We may have been separated at birth.... I am very careful about returning things to their place, wiping down surfaces, etc. It's part of the ritual of putzing for me... I think there is a name for this behaviour that is not particularly flattering but I say anything that makes me feel relaxed and happy can only be a good thing!

They often say "It's nice to put a name to a face." I guess the saying here would go..."It's nice to put a name to a workspace." LOL Great to see where all the creativity and creation take place!!!

I am soooooooooooo jealous of you both; my crafting space is my office--specifically a table on the other side of the room across from my desk and computer--I know I would feel more inspired if I had cabinets for supplies--or didn't have to care when the glitter got everywhere! Everything is kept in boxes in the closet--along with old computer parts, software, cables etc.!
One day when I am empress....I shall have the kind of crafting space that would make Martha green with envy...
