Looks pretty organized compared to my places .
:)
 
When I was turning wrenches for a living I could usually remember where I last used a tool for 3 days. At that point everything was put away to start over.

Apart from bench tops I keep things pretty well organized!

I was machining a part for the old boy today and i had to chuckle as no sooner my father would put somthing down the cursing would start trying to find the item he had just put down

I think this is an age thing. It happens to me all the time. Usually, the item that I am looking for is in plain sight. I blame the shop gremlins.

It'll happen to you too sonny ;)

Looks like your father has quite a few gems there, I bet you'll be by to borrow/use stuff more often than you think.

Cheers,

My goal is to get my shop looking that neat! As far as finding stuff, my problem is that when I put things away, I put them in a logical place at the time but later on the logic escapes me. I can remember that I have stuff but can't remember where. I've thought about marking locations and creating an index. Or maybe just glue one of these tags to everything. https://www.thetileapp.com/en-us/ :laughing:
 
Yeah its gotta be an age thing! It seems like i spend more time searching for the tool i just had in my hand and after looking for 15 minutes I realize ITS STILL IN MY HAND! I dont understand it cause i remember where i put something the last time i used it for years (Of course I dont realize its not back in the drawer until i go to use it and remember where it is almost instantly upon seeing the empty space but i battle with the last 10 minutes more and more!
