My greatest Shop Photo
Here is my greatest shop photo, of all times. Bar None.
WHY, You ask?
Well, Because of all those thousands of cubic inches of EMPTY SPACE where my old lathe used to be!
I haven’t seen this part of my shop floor in years. Iam thinking of making a bunch of clear plexiglass 1’ sq cubes to stack in here, just to admire my EMPTY SPACE. Maybe count them all Every week,or so, just to continue the thrill of enjoying all this EMPTY SPACE that now makes up half my shop. Words can’t describe!

Re: My greatest Shop Photo
Is it normal for shops to have floors?

If you can see the floor.....you don't have enough stuff.
That's a rule.

How did you make the lathe disappear?

Re: My greatest Shop Photo
Glenn,
A buyer appeared like magic off Craig’s list. Even brought his own 8’ tall, off road, industrial grade tracked forklift with him. And a tilt trailer with a 4x8 bed on the front end. Never had an easier time moving a piece of equipment.

You know that space is just begging to be filled.....right!

Re: My greatest Shop Photo
Maybe you should b put some of that unused space on Craig's list. I could sure use some. Would you be able to deliver?

Ginsberg's Law:
"Things" fills space available.
Ginsberg's storage was all filled up, so he bought more cabinets, and they ended up exactly as filled up as before.
It's not that we have a certain amount of stuff - its' that we are willing to tolerate having our stuff packed in to a certain degree, and it doesn't matter how much space we have, we will fill it to that degree.
Ginsberg decided to get rid of some cabinets.

Re: My greatest Shop Photo
Reminds me. Couple of years ago I couldn’t believe how much useless trash people put on the free sectin of Craig’s list. Rotted tree limbs, broken concrete blocks, worn out tires, that sort of thing.
So in a fit of irony, I advertised “Free Air” - shop vacuum fill up available curb side, just being large black plastic garbage bags for transport. To compliment the free dead tree limbs and stumps that abounded that day. Apparently the local CL fanatics were not amused. My add got crowd sourced off the site in less than an hour.
Maybe free shop space on Tools would get a better reception. Sweeten the deal with free shipping via email.

Re: My greatest Shop Photo
You'd probably have to WinZip the space so it would fit in my email box. I'd be afraid to find out what would happen if I unzipped it in the wrong spot. Would it replace or encompass what was there?

Earl, Earl, think of what of what this could do to the cloud - unzip and poof! Expanding the very Universe.
