Over the last three weeks I've been working through one of the most difficult tasks of my recent years - My little shop had become so filled with left over parts, paints, glues and fillers, special tools...all left over from projects of the last 35 years. Doing any large project was delayed and burdened with the need to clear space for anything new, which became harder and harder.
So, I have done it.
Thrown out all those "maybe I'll need it some day" screws, bolts, electrical fittings, etc., etc.

It was depressing and hard work, as part of my identity was "the guy who can fix anything in his magical shop." Or maybe it was a mostly museum of my past efforts, a diary written in junk.

So now the shop is ready to welcome some new, big projects.
It's already paying off in the ease of efficient working.
