re: Post-Project Shop Reset; Optimizing the Small Shop

I am really ashamed to reveal all my bad habits when it comes to my shop and tools. To start with I am lucky to have a space that is 30’ by 44’. I have a duplication of most all my power hand tools which means I do no maintenance until they all need it. Probably the worst thing I do is while I am building something I use it and drop it where I finish with it. That in itself is very unsafe but I can’t stop. For example you can’t imagine what this place looked like after I finished with the king size bed which took me over a month to complete. As for brands, 80% is Dewalt, rest a mixture of Laguna, Porter Cable, etc. One example is the table saw. I don’t clean it until the crank is just about seized up. The shop is the only part of my life that is this way. Everything else is maintained to the hilt. How many of you wax your lawn mower? I’m sure there are psychological reasons but I love woodworking, am very happy, so I guess that all that matters.
