My Poop Didn't Stink Til I Sniffed

[gstoneberg]

I keep pushing the osage shavings into a pile until it is such a hassle I can't stand it.  Then I roll the wheelbarrow in the shop, load it up and put them around my shrubs in the front yard.  Sometimes I have 2 or 3 different colors of darkening osage out there.  There's a duck nesting there now so I'm hoarding shavings until she gets done.

I tried cleaning up my shop once but I'm still looking for the stuff I misplaced then.    Lots of my shavings go into the wood stove for fire started in the winter. There is still plenty, mind you but that's my story and I'm sticking with it.

I think "regular" bow building wouldn't be a huge deal as far as a mess BUT I did debark about 18 Osage staves down there...that makes way too much mess, next batch will be debarked outside

If you haven't finished reading Mr. Webb's "Born Fighting" book yet, I highly encourage it.  It's a darn good read.

I also use my bark and shavings for fire starter in the wood stove in winter, but now that it's hot and don't need a fire going in the garage I pile them up outside to be burned. Osage makes the best fire starter, and the end pieces that get cut off are some of the best wood stove fuel I've ever burned. It ranks highest of most BTU's with least amount of ash left over.

Too bad the shavings aren't worth money cause I'd be rich.

   My old lady dos'nt even like to clean the house she dose it. But she dos'nt like it she'ed surely never go out and clean my shop. Really not sure if I ant her to. I really hate her to come in and move one thing. I'm sure your all just like me you know where everything is and it all has a place. She came out about 15 years ago said it smelled to animally. Has'nt been back sence she leaves me alone to do my thing she says. I like it that way.

Looks a lot like mine,the funny part is I know where everything is,if folks that use the tools will just put it back in the right pile, As far as wood shavings and scrap wood it don't last long around my place.Man needs fire also.

My shop/storage building is terrible.  Too bad for even me.
My wife really put her foot down the other day and demanded that I clean it.
Well, she would have....  She could not get in the door.

I am going to clean it.   Someday......

I think I have a distinct advantage over most in that I dont have a physical "workshop" persay haha. The shed in the backyard is an ongoing process so right now I use the back deck of our townhouse. So I gotta cleanup everyday after I'm done or the old lady would have a fit and I gotta put the tools back in their place otherwise they wont fit in the house haha. But if you catch my work area mid way through some bow building it looks much the same.

Guys I started this thread mostly in jest cause of the way I have so many tools scattered. I have put most up two or three times only to get 'em back out. They can stay where they are. Never thought about putting the shavings on flowers but yeah, that would work. Speaking of plants, my wife read a few comments and said she was glad I did not post pic's of her planting tables. I reached for my camera and heard" Oh hell no!"
Still ain't got it back.
