Just remember that every night I have to dismantle everything and put it back in the corner!

So you have to build up and break down every day. At least I can leave my stuff out. At last it's getting cooler here nearly 11pm and 27C, till an hour ago it was over 30C.

Don't have to break down EVERY night but anytime it threatens rain or hail it is a MUST do thing. But when I am set up there is pretty much room to work.
Life could be worse...I could still be using the Craftsman instead of the 788!

4:30 p.m. and I have 29.5?

Nice, neat and organized.   So far, everyone's shop looks nicer than mine.  I wonder... did people clean up before taking the picture or am I just the only slob?

That was early this morning right after I moved everything out of the corner!
I will not publish a pic of what it looks like now at 5:00 p.m.!

Janet I need some of that LOTION! I've been working with acetone, lacquer thinner and mineral spirits this afternoon. Poor ol' wrinkled fingers are DRY!

The only time I clean up after working is when I have been on the lathe as it makes so much mess, not like the saw
Great looking work shop Gray, I see most of you cabinit are on wheels, I have all mine on wheels as I have no room and have to take my table and drop saw out side to use them

Janet ...thanks I was beginning to wonder if I was the only slob too.  I sweep up before I start the next project.
GrayBeard how do you keep the saw dust off all the other things in the shop.

After I clean up and sweep I grab my trusty hi-powered "Leaf Blower"!
That with the 20" industrial strength fan takes almost all the dust out the front door!!!

Nice Shop Graybeard, and I'll have to try the blower thing to clean the dust out the door. Dust seems to settle on everything.

I don't even attempt to clean up.  I just blow it out with the leaf blower.  Then hubby complains about the wood chips on the driveway.  He claims he could "get a flat tire" but I dunno if I believe that.
