the five lb bag


I hate having stuff everywhere.  Every step has to be into a clear little spot, or around something, and you can't even clean because ever space is occupied.  We got 6 inches of rain yesterday, so there was no putting items outside while working.  I didn't appreciate how hard it would be to add something this large into an already full space.

It was a late night last night trying to rearrange the shop to accommodate the lathe.  I modified the table that came with it and bolted it to the wall.  I also got the lathe up on it and started reassembling everything.  I pulled the plug on all this at 12:00a.  My new headers came, and I didn’t even have time to hold them up to see how they fit.

 

 

I think I imagined and measured for every permutation of positions out there.  It payed off because I found a combo that by some miracle left me with more space, and made the things I used most, easiest to get to while working.  I still have a lot of tidying up to do, but you can squint and imagine it organized:
