Wow, that's really nice. Although a little too "type A" for me. :shock:
I like to be organized, but that it just over the top!

Not me man! I like not being able to find tools on the bench. Not, not finding them in a box!

If I can't see them or trip over them or cover them in sawdust they are worthless to me. Out of sight is definitely out of mind which usually means I have to go to the store to buy another one.

I keep waiting for the hammer tree, phillips bush, and standard hedge to sprout in my yard. My son still hasn't figured out how to return a tool...I occassionally find them when I mow! :shock:

I agree with dave....i can't tell you how many times i have had to re-buy the same bit, or bore, or whatever...not because i don't already have it...but because it is lost on or under my bench somewhere.....

I do same thing...cant find it buy another...but to have tools hung up or placed in an orderly fashion would be nice...and as someone said before that cabinet is just over the top...think he may have been a bit perdantic :lol:

The minute I get home with the new one I trip over the old one. OOPS, there it is. BTW I don't always have to be neat with what I build either. Just check out my new post. :lol: :lol: :lol:
