SHOP RULES!

[fcamillieri]

Never...I mean never...tell anyone (family included) that they can store "a few things" in the corner of your shop for "a little while". Your prized mancave can easily become a storage unit and valuable space will steadily be lost to "a couple small items" from those that mean well but never seem to get around to moving these items out!

Sounds trivial, but what may seem like a harmless act of kindness can get out of hand.

Remember...No good deed goes unpunished!

Yep.

It's a combination of lack of time and lack of space. Some of my newer stuff simply doesn't have a place yet because I'm running out of space to organize stuff.

'Zactly I plan on making a new workbench for one wall with some proper storage, but first I will have to clean up enough to set up the right equipment to make a new mess :confused2:

Doesn't help that my wood/metal shop turned into a dirtbike/metal/wood shop.

Cheap
Fast
Good

Pick 2. You can have it cheap and fast but it won't be good.
Or you can have it fast and good but it won't be cheap.
Or you can have it cheap and good but it won't be fast.

I got one rule to cover it all.

My shop, my rules !

 

[firedog]

There are no written rules for my shop....... I make them up as I go.
If you come in and have a question or need something, ask if there is a rule.
I'll make one up specifically for you, and just because someone else can do it doesn't mean you can.

Oh yeah, the rules are always subject to change.

 

[crazyal]

I only have one simple rule. Only enter my shop with a new tool in hand as a donation before making any requests.

 

[turnkey4099]

Never walk into a man's shop and say anything if he is working with a power tool or taking a measurement....etc. How's that ?

Amen! I was working on one of my chainsaw carbs when my wife asked "Why don't you buy a new saw!" "No thanks, I already have 3" WHO SAID THAT!?. Bad enough that I said it but to add the 'three' was worse - she only knew about 2.

I like it! I hope TBN's resident Taliban censor doesn't see it!

I'd make one slight change..."Safety glasses and shoes required, bras and panties optional."

 

[Fxfymn]

Your Mother doesn't work here, so you'll have to clean up after yourself.

This is MY workshop, don't mess with my mess.

One I remember from years ago in a guys shop:

Some things we hold dear in this life.
The tools of our trade and the dear lil wife.
So, don't ask to borrow my tools,
And I won't ask to borrow your wife.

If I'm willing to loan you my wife, will you loan me your tools?
