This is a good thread because while most of us very productive, much of our accomplishments are overlooked because our family sees it all the time and become numb to it, or they just don't understand the effort that we put into it. You guys understand because you've been there.
On Sunday I started my annual purge of the shop by sorting the stock. I removed literally tons of stock, cleaned the area and replaced it in an orderly fashion, sorted by carbon steel, stainless, brass, aluminum and plastic. The pic below represents 10 hours of work, but it sure is nice to have completed and be able to easily find what I need. Next comes a toothbrush cleaning and maintenance of all the machinery and sorting through all the sheet and plate stock. I can't wait.
