Who wants to work in a cluttered shop? It’s no fun constantly moving stuff from one flat spot in your shop to another, just so you can create a work space. Part of what leads to clutter is simply not having a good place to put your material and tools. It’s an old cliché, but it’s true – It’s best to have a place for everything, and everything in its place. The tips and projects in this class are designed specifically to add organization and storage to your shop, and get rid of your clutter.
