OK. You’ve got a project or 2 going on and out come the various tools and equipment to progress the repairs and restorations. But, how many of us are disciplined enough to put the gear away as we finish with it? So...show us your mess! Here are some pictures of my wreckage.
Bob,
I think that you’re more organized than I tend to be; despite the clutter you have quite a lot of things neatly hung on pegboard or lined up on shelves. I imagine you can actually find the things you’re looking for in your workspace.
I mostly work around a computer (any phonograph restoration or maintenance that I have done has consisted of helping
John with one machine or another), and that space is either very clean (seldom) or extensively piled with stuff (currently).
Maybe I’ll take a few pictures and a screen capture of a phonograph being cut out (i.e. a work-in-progress shot)...or show the scanning of record labels.
Most of my tools either reside in a backpack or a dresser, partially because I live in an apartment, and also because you never know when you might need a screwdriver, Allen wrench, etc.—especially when you work with computer hardware. I don’t know many people that are prone to having a set of hex keys with them.
Of course, when I was younger I worked at a hardware store for a number of years. I learned a lot there from some very handy older gentlemen.

David, Sorry for starting this up in the tips and tricks section but maybe going for the archives was just creating problems.
It was entirely my fault for not having gotten to testing things—hopefully everything should be sorted out now (and I deleted my other comment about it—it didn’t add anything to the topic). Since a few people voted in the poll (after I fixed it), I merged the two threads, and hopefully no-one minds.
