Tough battle
« on: December 18, 2011, 08:07:50 pm »
 ;D Any of you guys that have been in my shop the last year or so pretty much know the the easiest thing to get to was the refrigerator. Well, I went to war this weekend to get my shop back and I've just about finished. About another day and I will be able to build bows and work on knives indside again.

And like my buddy said that helped me yesterday," if nothing else, it's easier to get to the Fridge, now." ;D

 If you have to pull the trigger, is it really archery?

I couldn't believe how many files, and rasps I had, and I guess I bought a new tube cutter everytime I needed one. And the pictures are some of both. I have my staves up top and at least future bows all together in the trash can.

That's the way this was, Ken. The first shot is after I moved everything out of the middle of the floor and got the fire going good.

Eddie when I first read this I felt better to know my shop wasn't the only one that looked bad... I felt good for a bit, but then it hit me.. I should take after Eddie and clean my shop up  :'(

Eddie you are such an inspiration to all of us,,,,,, :o  That is the sign of a USED shop!  Lulyn is amazed how fast I can destroy a clean shop. ::)  It seems that once I lock onto a project I don't want to stop and clean up till it's finished. And when I have several projects going at once ,,,,,,,,,,,,,well you get the picture

Looks good Eddie!  I need to get me a shop someday, all of my knapping, woodworking, ETC is done on my porch.

I give it a week Eddie! I used to work harder keeping my shop clean than I did working on archery gear in it. Not so much anymore...........the only thing I clean up is bark, shavings and dust off the floor.

Mine's in dire need of a cleaning, too.  I keep saying I'll get it done right after Christmas, but I know I'm going to want to get a couple of knives done before the next guild meeting at the end of Jan. 

If anybody would like to help, I'll buy the beer.  ;D
