¿ªÔÆÌåÓýYou guys are funny. ?OCD has it¡¯s advantages and disadvantages. ? And people vary a great deal in terms of their need for organization and keeping the shop clean and tidy. ? When I¡¯m busy with a project, my shop can look like a tornado ripped through it. ? But personally, I can¡¯t work in such an environment for long without starting to twitch. ? On a trip this past year, I visited a dear friend (who will remain nameless) who is distinctly in the opposite camp. ? He thrives when everything is out and he can hop from one thing to another. ? Here¡¯s a few photos: ?? The friend who owns this shop does amazing work, is also a Felder owner, and is an engineering genius - not to mention one of the nicest guys you¡¯ll ever meet. ? But I was afraid I¡¯d run out of Xanax before I was scheduled to leave. ? One of the best tricks I¡¯ve learned to keep the shop clean is to have high pressure compressed air, a long coiled hose with high output spray nozzle and a floor sweep for my dust extractor. ? I first put on my gas mask, turn on the extractor and the floor sweep blast gate opens, then I make two big loops from the far end of the shop spraying down everything towards the floor sweep as I get closer and closer to it. ? Once I¡¯m finished, my housecleaner empties the extractor bin with her Dyson Animal vacuum cleaner so I can reuse the plastic bin liners - and restocks the shop refrigerator with Champaign, refills the humidor with fresh Chesterfield Kings and disinfects the hookah. ?
