Squalor or Safety?

[Amazon warrior]

Errrrr.... squalor!

In my defence, I have sod-all in the way of storage, and no place to put it if I did. The shelves to the left of my desk represent more than half my available shelf space.

I tend to get information overload real easy and putting words on so much stuff and having to read through it all to find something is just fatiguing so I put symbols, colors, patterns on my stuff and I can very quickly find things - My two favorite sculpting tools have colored stripes - one has lime green and the other has orange. With symbols and colors it\'s less stressing. Probably sounds weird but it works.

@Amazon warrior - Cute cherubs, Shawn! Are they daylight or fluorescent-light emitting?

Glorious heavenly mercy on my mess!lol:drunk::drunk:

You know that sounds like an excellent idea! I may have to \"borrow\" it from you. Also, from the looks of things, you have 4 of the 5 different symbols that they use for psychic/clairvoyance tests.

Abject Squalor.
I have an 8x10 room with only enough floor space left for me to pull out my chair and squeeze back in.The floor\'s covered with boxes
And I use the Holmes dust filing system, I know how old something is by the amount of dust on it.
:innocent:

Same things here. And things get especially dusty living here in the desert... so I have to tell the age of something based on how low it is in the pile... lol

Dude, that is so organised I think we are going to have to ban you from the forums, or sacrefice you to the gods of chaos or something.

Though maybe next year I\'ll be making a proper painting station like that

Mick that\'s a brilliant way to store paints! Is that just pieces of PVC piping? I think I just found a way to throw out my bins stuffed with paints and approach a new way of organizing... lol

I love these threads! It\'s great to see everyone\'s workspace. Always inspiring.

yeah Matt, 40mm waste pipe for GW bottles, and 35mm for Vallejo/Foundry bottles
cut \'em at about 30 degrees, I made a jig for my chop saw, but it be a bit hairy sometime. A hand mitre saw is safer if a bit slower
if you can get the stuff that glues together it makes for a more solid unit, otherwise I\'ve used a hot glue gun

Wow I never thought of that method for storing paints, I am going to go up to lowes and grab some pipe, that is a very impressive way of storing them, that should make plenty of room for me.

I love the orgaization of your station. Mine is completed opposite of that.... we can call it, ... CHAOS? ...
