What's on your bench today?

Just joking Rich, I have not really got OCD, I'm just compulsive about being tidy.

I know you don't.

 

Your bench is just.... Well in the words of al Murray NOT NORMAL.:lol:

[GardenKit]

I grew up in a small village on the Mendips mate, so I'm definitely not normal.

reckon worst thing in world is a cluttered dirty bench. mine is clad with thin galv steel sheet so can be degreased and cleaned easily.

 

bench in main workshop at work is a tip, never tidy and makes me cringe. was always tought at end of every day clear bench, floor and empty bins.

Oh no, quick spud get some more pics up. The tidy brigade will out number us messy lot soon. :lol::lol:

If you've got time to sweep the floor and tidy the bench you're just not busy enough!

 

At least, that's my excuse.

[NI Tree]

that not an excuse

it more of a reason to tidy up as you work quicker in a tidy work shop as you know wear things are and if you drop somthing you can find it easly

[Eddy_t]

Nah, the tools are either in the tool box or right next to the machine they were last used on, easiest way to find em

[spudulike]

I would say if it is YOUR bench and only used by you then as long as you can find tools damn quick then being tidy isn't paramount.

 

If the bench is shared then my one would probably be a nightmare for most:lol:

 

With mine, I have a Stanley tool trolley full of plumbers grips, metal cutters, chisels etc, on top of it is the tray with pliers, scwrenches, files, pullers, hammers, mallets etc, all with the handles facing me then behind the vice to the left I have sockets, T bars, torx bits, long reach sockets etc......works for me -

 

When I strip saws down......that is when I am tidy - aerosol caps for bolts for each part, paper cups for all carb bits and a selection of plastic containers so all the parts are contained together - all logical and tidy:thumbup:
