OMG - I'm in my mid 60's already! I go in my garage shop to tinker and some times I just go back in the house. My shop is cluttered with too many tools that I have acquired over the years and many projects that I could start. I know where everything is at (well most of the time) but stuff is everywhere. My plan "A" is to build a couple more storage cabinets but that ain't going to cut it. Don't want to think of plan "B".
I've been woodworking since I was probably 16 years old. Right now I have 17" band saw, air compressor, 15" planer, workbench, cyclone dust collector, SCMS on mobile cart, big router table, table saw, 4' x 8' storable MFT slab work table, 8" jointer, etc. . Plus many portable hand tools and maybe close to 20 systainers of nice green and blue toys. Oh, that's just the flat woodworking tools. Few years back I bought a nice PM 3520B lathe and now accumulated many of the accessories that get vortexed with it. Oh-Oh, plus my mechanics tools car stuff and other things that usually go in the garage. Oh-Oh-Oh, plus I had a project that required welding and I enjoyed it so much I have a nice slightly used Miller Multimatic 215 and other goodies to safely weld and cut steel.
I continually get flat work projects to do but also want to learn to be a better turner and mess around more with welding. Never time for the later two.
*** - is time to give up on one or two of these hobbies. Guess it's really not a hobby if you don't do it. Ha, maybe time to retire and move to a larger shop!
Anyone else go through this? I need guidance.
Thanks
Mike
