That's pretty bad man.
 
looks like my garage /forums/images/graemlins/yikes.gif /forums/images/graemlins/yikes.gif /forums/images/graemlins/whistling.gif
 
every once in a while, i go and pick up all my tools, bolts and trash from previous months of work. It resets the stage for another round of wrenching /forums/images/graemlins/waytogo.gif

Time to spend some time cleaning up /forums/images/graemlins/doah.gif
 
looks like our garage but you atleast have goodys in your garage, ours has that much room, but theres nothing in it, just a buncha crap lol
 
Mine looked like that. So I've started a few projects directly aimed at getting it under control.

First was a pass through to get rid of everything that was not likely to be used in the near future. Some was given away, some was hauled for junk. Of course I've run across a half dozen things I got rid of that I wish I had for this or that, but over all it was a good thing.

Next up I built a welding table with storage for some fab tools, fixtures, and shorts. Welding cart for the obvious and related tools plus built in power supply (for welder, plasma, and grinders) to cut down on extension cords. Next up, large full length (18') shelves. And just today, a roll around sheet metal cart. It's amazing how much floor space I have now...

[Edit]
Here is a pic of the shelves. My shop actually is cleaner than it was in those pics now that everything is on the shelves. And I mean "everything" that is not to big, heavy, and in immediate use goes on the shelves. Just to help spread things out a bit, and to deal with things like shovels, hoses, etc. I'm going to put peg board and more shelves on the back wall. There is another post over there that shows my sheet metal cart.

HA! I just watched that episode last night. Paul Senior has his head up is behind. Paul Jr. ought to start up his own shop w/ Vinnie and leave Dad on his own to complain and whine. Jr. is the one with all the ideas, everytime Dad picks up a wrench, there's trouble!

Allen, I think I see a few items in those pictures I sold you! From my garage floor to yours, isn't that what it's all about!?

I've never seen his lazy ass pick up a wrench. That is one thing that pisses me off about that show, dad knows everything yet he never works.

[/ QUOTE ] I concor, The only time I ever saw Dad, pick up a wrench was when they took in that high school kid and Dad annd the kid put together a old school chopper with a chromed frame, cool bike, but the only time I ever saw the old man pickup a wrench. and what gives with his attitude, custom shiite takes custom time, he should know that! /forums/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif

The "Cody" bike? I've got no doubt Pops can or use to build bikes, but all he does now is complain and work on those bicepts at the gym (probably so he can still get away with mouthing off so much!).

Vinny said it best when he said, "What sells our bikes is our BIKES, not our tidy shop or spotless floors". Jr. was right on the money when he said they should hire a kid to clean up and let us build bikes.

You know .... I'm thinkin' I might be watching too much TV these days ....

and now back to the THREAD at hand.......


DAMN THOSE ARE SOME HEAVY DUTY SHELVES!!!!!! /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif



Ok, back to the HIJACK, Pauly SR. does have skills, that even both his boys admit to. He built a steel fab empire for pete sakes. And I adhere to his school of thought, a clean work are makes for a better work enviroment, put tools back when you are done. Throw your trash away. Clean your area at the begining or end of the day. !!!
