(How to Stop) Hunting for Stuff in the Shop?
The autumnal air is upon us here in Minnesota this week. It is a time for shiny red apples, pumpkin spiced-something … for those who are into that kind of thing … and, for some of us, it is the start of hunting season. Now, while a bird dog may be of help in flushing out sharp-tailed grouse, there is, so far as I know, no program which trains dogs to sniff out where you put stuff down in the shop (although that could be a cool idea …). A little while ago, the eZine faithful shared with me some great ideas of how to store router bits to keep them organized. Now I am wondering if you have any other tips on keeping your shop shipshape?
