    Another messy shop

    I was so impressed with Jasons messy shop shot I thought I'd throw one out myself just for fun.

    Is that a lathe I see in there? what was the end product of all those shavings?

    The pile in the forefront of the pic is the Box Elder shallow bowl I posted earlier.

    Amateurs....

    You don't know the MEANING of messy.

    If I had a picture, I'm not sure I'd even show it...

    I fold. Even my granddaughters would admit that is more messy than mine. And I thought I was the champ of messes.

    Andy,
    DO NOT let your insurance agent see that picture. I suppose the pile of shavings is proportional to the size of your lathe???

    Impressive

    I was afraid we had started a contest, but it looks like we already have a winner!

    Doug,
    That is funny. My most frequent visitor to my shop is a nieghbor, good friend and my State Farm Agent. There are days he is truely in fear for his safety with the mix of shavings, buckets of DNA, oily rags, and once in awhile the propane torch lit and scorching a piece. One night last winter there is a bang on the garage door and in he comes. Says 'Here, sign this.' As I do I ask what is it. He says 'You are kicking up your insurance to DEFCON 3' I guess I am paying another $100 per year now but he feels better and if he's comfortable I know I'll get taken care of if I need to be.

    So what I am saying is Please show your insurance man your mess. It may save you a future problem.
