I'm sitting here laughing at the table your fenders are on Dan. Mine accumulate stuff just like that

The longer the project, the deeper it gets.

Beautiful work, Dan.

My tool piles look similar also, I thought I was the only one who did that.

Now guys if we did not have a well disorganized pile of tools people would think we were on TV & it magically was done in 20 minutes. Now where did I put that slapper I just used it 2 minutes ago & more to come Danny.

Danny, I have only seen 3 people that can get things accomplished while keeping the work area clean and not getting dirty themselves. They really were productive and got a lot done. I am not one of them. If there is a flat surface it is piled high with STUFF.

Those fenders are just plain sexy. Love the way you put the lights in. Great job. Thanks for posting.

Here's the secret take the pictures upstairs where your wife just cleaned.

I clean my shop every sat morning and around ten o'clock in the morning my bench looks just like that.

Looking good Dan!

Wasn't it Tuck who had a workbench made from a hospital bed? Keep the tilt function and hook it up to a timer: your workbench top stays clean - once a day at least

I forgot to mention that when I planished it in the pullmax it was as smooth as a wheeled or planished hammer part Danny.
