I took a couple of days and went after cleaning and organizing my workshop with a vengeance. I like to have at hand the tools and material I need for a project. If I don\u2019t take the time and effort to clean up and put things back in their normal storage, I soon can find nothing. I felt I was almost into one of those \u201ceverything is lost and nothing can be found\u201d stages.<\/p>\n
So the workbench was totally cleared<\/a>. It was the perfect opportunity to put another coat of polyurethane on the surface. The top is nowhere near furniture grade, but a surface coating keeps water and some of the nasty fluids I sometimes work with like Dykem fluid<\/a> from soaking in.<\/p>\n A clean and neat shop also changes the appearance that ten projects are in various stages of progress. There may still be about ten projects in various stages of progress; it just doesn\u2019t LOOK that way!<\/p>\n Actually I have only two major projects underway. One is the Pennsy A3 locomotive project<\/a> and the other is the Robo Boat project<\/a>. Interesting is they are both scale model projects and both are of a scale of \u00be inch to 1 foot. I have no idea what that may imply except the models are rather large.<\/p>\n Any other projects I have are not ongoing and just spring up when they are reactivated by some immediate request or need.<\/p>\n For now I am trying to stay on track with the two main scale model projects. We\u2019ll see how that holds up under (water & steam) pressure.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I took a couple of days and went after cleaning and organizing my workshop with a vengeance.
