Shed tidy

I did some much needed tidying of my stock of metal today as it was just too grey / cold and murkey to ride, seeing a gritter pass by today sealed my decision.

My stock of metal is now sorted out into sheet, section, bar, plate, and rounds as it should be -

I also sorted out all my round stuff so that short pieces are now in a seperate bin - that will save a lot of frustration when looking for a short piece for my next turning job.

Going through my "stock" was like going back in history as I came accross bits from my old T140s, exhaust pipe parts from the various cars I have had over the years, the Enfield, also various welded parts from my attempts at making a bike jack, and laterly bits from the Kawasaki project, plus numerous other odds and sods from various non bike related projects.

I ended up with only a small pile of stuff that will be going to the recycling centre as I decided that it was really not much use for anything.

Hopefully I will not regret getting shot of any of it.

I now have my stock of metals nicley organised, I just dont have any projects needing any of it at the moment.

The Himalayan, and "Spudmasher" dont need anything doing to them, and the H2 is sat on the bench waiting for it's expansions chambers to be re fitted following its winter fettling.

Might be some more tidying tomorrow as the weather outlook is not that good.

Keep it up, Andy. You have inspired me to tidy my cutlery drawer.

I have just changed the bearings in the central heating boiler fan. Now I can keep warm.

The light at the end of the tunnel maybe an oncoming train

Good timing Ian - it has just started snowing here!

I was inspired to tidy my shed in December too. Shifted out all bikes bar my MZ and have found that I don't feel the need to have any others just now.

Must drive your insurance broker bonkers.

Re: Shed tidy

If I were wise I would have bought shares in my broker in the hope that my dividends would have cancelled out the change of bike fees!!

Maybe this new year there'll be no changes... Lol

"Shed" & "tidy" - two words not normally uttered in the same sentance here !

Though to be accurate my "shed" is a double garage & I now have so little free space that it is nigh on impossible to get in, let alone sort "stuff" out.

I really need to have cull of some of the projects that are not likely to progress to make enough room to progress those that I would like to get on with.

New batteries for the "round Tuit" required !

Re: Shed tidy

Cant bear an untidy shed / workshop, just does not feel right.

It often gets into a bit of a mess when I am doing a job / project, but as soon as it is over I have to re tidy it.

What size batteries does your "round tuit" use?
