In the interest of gaining some much-needed floor space and space, in general, to be able to move around, I have been working on a strategy to get the most out of my shop space.  

I moved the hand tool cabinet and drawers to the back wall of the handtool area and was able to gain enough space to move the assembly table to that area which in turn clear out a lot of working floor space in the power tool area.   First I safely moved the tools out of the way....

And then I moved the cabinet and drawers and this was the final result...

I have a ton more work to do, but as Norm would say.....  "We are Gaining on it!"

There's far too little sawdust, mess, and general disaster going on in that picture.

I call shenanigans.

Knees are resting. Yes, new shop monitor. It's ate 2 monitors in the last 6 months or so. No, not because the monitors were probably both well over ten years old.

I got tired of losing my few clamps in my messy shop so I threw this together. It's not pretty, but it's mobile, and gives me an excuse to buy more.

Getting the fit perfect was not easy and took a few hours.

This refinished Anco drafting table is the one I stood next to when I was about 5 or 6 and watched dad as he was designing commercial buildings, schools and the like. Thus, this baby is about 60 years old—don’t know how old it was when dad brought it home.
The top had to be cut down a bit in order to serve its new purpose and the base was cleaned up and painted.

Love the history. Very cool.
