Workbench Mayhem... Help! I have more stuff than space.

I've gotten so accustom to working in a mess that it just doesn't seem to matter anymore. Still, it would be nice to reclaim my workbench, but I just don't have any room to hang or store my tools and other items. How about it, do you work among a clutter of tools and the odds and ends of projects?

Drill Press Chuck Key duck-taped to the electric cord next to the plug end.

You never lose it and it forces you to remember to unplug while changing bits...

Or put a good magnetic up on the housing. The chuck key will stick to that.

Looks a lot like mine only yours is a little less messy! I just took 2 big boxes of sawdust and a 5 gallon bucket of scraps to burn pit.

Just got done cleaning up my shop also, probably stay that way all of 2 seconds. I also share it with a father in law who builds bird houses, we accumulate enough sawdust to fill a crater between the both of us. I have a build station in the house when it gets to cold to work out in the shop, but that's another story.LOL It's a never ending struggle.

I can say with definity that you have more room on your work bench than there is on mine. I work in that type of clutter all the time, and I'm accustom to it.
